Link Hotel Singapore is located at Tiong Bahru.Tiong Bahru estate is the first project initiated by Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT) to provide housing for the population moving away from the city centre.The estate exemplifies the unique planning and architectural style typical of British public housing from the same period.The two buildings of Link Hotel are also the first SIT flats to be converted into hotel.In recent years,these flats have gained popularity with young adults.Many have purchased the Art Deco style public housing that emphasises sleek curves and strong lines.Take a walk around Tiong Bahru estate %26amp; discover the unique public housing architecture that cannot be found in other parts of Singapore.





At the corner of Lotus Block, the popular bird arena still remains.Stop by in the morning for a chat with the bird enthusiasts %26amp; enjoy the chorus of their pet birds.Prior to World War II,Tiong Bahru was the choice area for the wealthy.Also known as Mei Ren Wuo (“den of beauties” in Chinese),it was rumoured to be where the rich kept their mistresses.
