From May 1 to 26, this year’s Singapore HeritageFest will explore the intricate stories behind the city-state’s cherished buildings and monuments – The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore, Capitol Singapore and CHIJMES.
Beckoning visitors to step back in time and delve deeper into the heart of Singapore’s past, present and the future, guests can enjoy a series of immersive activities at Singapore HeritageFest 2024, including a bespoke five-course afternoon tea at The Capitol Kempinski Singapore followed by an exclusive walking tour every Wednesday and Saturday at 17.00. Led by the Heritage Curator, this immersive experience takes guests through the grand halls and corridors of The Capitol Kempinski Singapore, exploring iconic sites such as the historic Capitol Theatre, the CHIJMES precinct, and more.
Food enthusiasts can indulge in the set lunch at 15 Stamford with a complimentary upgrade to the signature Laksa or the Chicken Rice, or enjoy some tipple at The Bar at 15 Stamford, and try out the bar’s signature cocktail, Plantation 1840, inspired by the life of Joseph Balestier, the first US Consul to Singapore, and his wife, Maria Balestier, daughter of Paul Revere, American Civil War midnight rider.
In-house guests of The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore will also receive complimentary access to a screening event on May 10 with local filmmaker, Royston Tan, as he bridges the past and the present on the silver screen. Presenting a curated list of films featuring the Capitol Theatre, an iconic 94-year dream palace, the evening culminates in a Q&A dialogue session with Tan himself, offering audiences a unique opportunity to gain insights behind these iconic films and the inspiration drawn from the Capitol Theatre.
