Geeson Lawadinata, a friend of Peng, the proprietor of the New Majestic Hotel chose to go bold and baroque to cater to the night owl who prefers sumptuous overkill to pared down modernism.
Nestled amidst the vibrant Club Street community of specialty shops, boutique spas, trendy restaurants and cafes, wine bars, antiques shops and art galleries, The Scarlet provides a completely different 5-star experience. Historic Erskine Road leads you to an original 1924 Art Deco building, whose architectural detailing have been expertly retained and lovingly restored.
Inside, a variety of textures and colours are matched almost in wilful contradiction, to provide a mood which is dramatic, daring and bold. Ambient lighting evokes a dramatic mood with the creation of contrast between light and dark areas. This sums up the total experience of The Scarlet - unexpected yet welcoming.
Red velvet, gold detailing and lots of shiny black, The Scarlet is a bling version of townhouse chic.
