KēSa House is a bold reinterpretation of heritage stays—a row of turquoise-shaded shophouses on Keong Saik Road, Chinatown, now offering 60 flexible-living suites with communal lounges, a shared kitchen, and eclectic dining under one roof. Blending modern design, community vibes, and prime location, KēSa House is ideal for travelers who want both a boutique experience and a local lifestyle.
KēSa House is ingeniously carved from a row of ten conserved shophouses along Keong Saik Road—one of Singapore’s trendiest streets in Chinatown. Redeveloped by 8M Real Estate and launched in April 2019, the property boasts a striking aquamarine façade that beautifully bridges heritage charm and contemporary flair.
This isn’t your typical hotel. KēSa House promotes a flexible-living concept, offering 60 uniquely laid-out rooms across three stories. Travelers can opt for short stays or extended live-in arrangements. Accommodation choices include light-filled “Urban Rooms,” homely “Cosy Rooms,” and spacious “Studio Apartments” with kitchenettes and private terraces—ideal for longer stays.
Check-in happens in the vibrant Affogato Lounge, where guests enjoy gourmet coffee, affogato desserts, and a casual meeting space complete with charging stations. For work or socializing, KēSa Lounge offers an open, light-filled co-working environment. If you prefer a home-cooked vibe, KēSa Kitchen offers cooking stations and complimentary coffee from local favorite Sarnies. Add to this the relaxing KēSa Terrace—and you have the perfect blend of local camaraderie and hospitality.
Set in Chinatown’s dynamic Keong Saik enclave, KēSa House rewards guests with easy access to Outram MRT (just a 4-minute walk) and a vibrant surrounding scene of bars, cafes, and Michelin-leaning eateries. The area offers rich local culture beside modern vibrancy, placing visitors both near the CBD and steps away from heritage streets.
