(28 Aug 2025 – Singapore) Homegrown hospitality operator, Far East Hospitality (FEH), is shining a spotlight on Singapore’s hidden stories through an exclusive collaboration with celebrated heritage guide, The Urbanist Singapore. The partnership celebrates the nation’s rich cultural heritage not just within FEH’s hotels, but across the city as part of continued SG60 commemorations throughout 2025. This initiative is also FEH’s commitment to delivering Singapore-inspired hospitality, with each precinct developed as places of stories, not just stays.
A specially curated three-part series of experiential heritage trails will take guests through iconic precincts: Orchard, the Central Business District (CBD), and Sentosa. Each trail is anchored by FEH properties in the area, offering a guided journey through the lesser-known stories, sights, and cultural layers that define each precinct. The result is an experience that showcases how every stay can be as meaningful and memorable as the city itself.
“As a Singaporean brand with over two decades of history, we’re grateful to have grown alongside the nation. Part of our commitment to offering Singapore-inspired hospitality is also working with local creators such as The Urbanist to amplify riveting knowledge and insights about our beloved city. We hope that this guided experience helps guests and Singaporeans connect more meaningfully with the communities around us, and enjoy Singapore’s culture and heritage beyond the guidebooks,” shared Audrey Chung, Senior Vice President, Commercial, Far East Hospitality.
“I'm excited for the chance to take people beyond what they think they know about Singapore. From Orchard Road's nutmeg beginnings to Telok Ayer's immigrant stories and Sentosa's military past, each unique trail is a doorway into the city’s hidden layers: stories tucked behind familiar streets, quiet traces of the past woven into the everyday. I hope guests walk away not just entertained, but with a deeper sense of connection to the places they’ve seen, and a new curiosity to keep exploring long after the trail ends,” shared Yo

After months of preparation, the team is excited to present these specially selected precincts not just for their popularity among tourists and guests, but also for their cultural depth and the ability to surprise.
