History
The Scarlet Singapore was opened in 2004, comprising 13 Early Shophouses built in 1868 and a 1924 Art Deco building. The hotel incorporates No 9 to 37 Erskine Road which includes a four-storey concrete building which was constructed in 1942 and fourteen two storey 'shophouses'. The shophouses were built in 1868 and were the homes of Chinese immigrants until the 1980's when the first storey was used for retail. The shophouses were bought in 1988 to make a boutique hotel (The Inn of Sixth Happiness). This closed down and was bought by Grace International in 1997.
Grace International bought and renovated the site, spending 45 million SGD in 1997. It reopened in 2004
The building was awarded 2005 Architectural Heritage Award for restoring and preserving the older buildings. It was renovated again in 2013 and then in May 2014 the sister hotel, The Scarlet Huntington Hotel, in San Francisco was opened.
In March 2016, The Scarlet Hotel took part in the Earth Hour movement by dimming down its lights, reducing AC usage, and asking guests to follow through in their rooms.
