Heritage Building & Culture
QT Hotel Singapore
The 92-year-old heritage building that currently houses Hotel Telegraph, opened in 1927 where it housed the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company. This then later transformed into the Cable and Wireless Building for the Telecommunications Authority of Singapore in 1995. Following that, it was occupied by Ogilvy Centre in 2001. In recent times, the heritage building has been a canvas for world class hotel brands such as So/ Singapore, Hotel Telegraph, and now its new lease of life as QT Singapore. As you can see, this building has a rich and varied cultural history with its many uses during it’s lifetime.
The interior of the hotel will be a collaboration between QT and interior designer Nic Graham, preserving the colonial neoclassical exterior architecture, whilst transforming the inside spaces to be more aligned with QT’s lively and eclectic brand image. Designs of the interior and public spaces will be released at a later date, with strong emphasis on intertwining the rich cultural fabric of the city scape and QT’s brand image into the works.
