 The New Majestic Hotel is a new design style property, which opened its doors in 2006, and is housed in a traditional conservation shop house located in the heart of Chinatown. The hotel features an emphasis on strong design, local culture and the arts. It is air-conditioned and has 24-hour reception. It has an open-concept, period-inspired lobby cleverly blending the old and new, with period furniture dating from the 1920s to the 1960s. The hotel has 30 individually designed rooms, all a mix of vintage and designer furniture, with customized baths, some including private gardens and six-meter ceilings in attic-style suites. The hotel has one restaurant - The Majestic Restaurant - a sleek reinterpretation of one of Singapore's favourite Chinese dining rooms and serves modern Cantonese cuisine. There is also a laundry service available (subject to fees).
Located on the outskirts of Chinatown, this city hotel is a 20-minute drive from the airport, a 10-minute drive from Keppel Train Station and a 5-minute drive to the city. The nearest subway, Outram Park MRT station, is just a two-minute walk away. From here Orchard Road is a 10-minute ride away. The hotel is close to many shopping malls like Pearl's Centre, Oriental Plaza, Chinatown Complex and People's Park Complex, all within a 5 to 10-minute walk. Further down the road, a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel, are attractions like the Chinatown Heritage Centre, the Chinatown Night Markets along Pagoda Street, Trengganu Street and Sago Street, On Cheong Jewellery on South Bridge Road - one of Singapore's oldest jewellery shops specialising in yellow and white gold, and the Trishaw Park, located near Chinatown Complex, where visitors can hire a trishaw for a tour round Chinatown.
The rooms are unique, with some featuring floor to ceiling mirrors, while others feature aquarium-like bathtubs in the middle of the room, whimsical four-poster beds suspended by poles from the ceiling or a garden terrace with an outdoor tub. Each room has its own personal Bose CD/Radio stereo system, Phillips plasma/LCD TVs and wireless broadband Internet access. All rooms feature Ploh luxury bedding, with generously filled down and feather pillows, a plush featherbed, and a lightweight white goose down duvet - all covered in smooth 280 thread-count pure cotton bed linen in plain white.

The rooms also come with direct dial telephone, minibar, safe and air conditioning.
The hotel has a dramatic lap pool with glass inserts floating above the restaurant, and a fully-equipped gym.
The Majestic Restaurant offers modern Cantonese cuisine served on individual plates. Chef's specialties include signature dishes such as crispy Wasabi prawns, grilled rack of lamb in Chinese honey accompanied with pan-fried carrot cake, and the oven baked sea-perch in a fine Champagne sauce.
