The Blue Mansion’s 18 rooms are each individually themed and distinctively grouped into 6 categories – Han, Liang, Zhou, Jin, Tang and 50’s ROOM. The rooms are privately tucked within 2 airy tropical courtyards, lined neatly alongside the corridors that lead into each room.

This boutique hotel is furnished with 5 star in-room amenities the fashion of a neo-classical way of life, where guests may take pleasure in contemporary comfort and luxury within the heritage space. Individually decorated, from period furniture, precious heirlooms and antiques to plunge-pools, a stay at the mansion reflects the modern-life of the affluent nobleman Cheong Fatt Tze himself.
