About the Hotel
Rooms: Design and Features
The Old Clare By Ode Hotels has 62 rooms featuring custom-made lamps by The Rag and Bone Man, bespoke pendant lighting, and VW Beetle headlights illuminating the lift recess. The eclectic selection of restored mid-century armchairs are from Unlisted Collection founder Loh Lik Peng's personal collection. Each Connell room has a ceiling of at least 3 meters high. They feature vintage designer furniture and lamps, and modern bathrooms with dual vanities. Available room types include double rooms and suites. Select rooms offer private bathrooms with walk-in showers, bathrobes, and free toiletries. Some rooms have soundproof walls, minibars, tea and coffee makers, and quiet street views. The hotel also offers one-bedroom apartments designed for entertaining, and a suite in the former Carlton & United Breweries' boardroom featuring original timber paneling, parquetry floors, and an eight-seater table.
Onsite Dining
Breakfast is next door at A1. The Clare bar embraces the same ethos that made its prior incarnation so beloved. The rooftop bar offers cocktails all year round. Avo smash with smoked cream cheese, a classic egg & bacon roll jazzed with jack cheese and BBQ onion jam to melt in your mouth cinnamon waffles.
Leisure and Recreation
The rooftop has a heated pool with city views. The BS gallery offers creatives an opportunity to show their work to locals and travellers, hotel guests and passer-bys alike. Other design features include 62 custom-made lamps by The Rag and Bone Man, bespoke pendant lighting, VW Beetle headlights illuminating the lift recess, and the eclectic selection of restored mid-century armchairs dotted around the property are from Unlisted Collection founder Loh Lik Peng's personal collection.
