First opened more than a century ago as a clubhouse for the German expatriate community, Goodwood Park Hotel today exemplifies an abundance of classy heritage which indulges in luxurious, ornamental excesses of the Victorian era. Its tower wing block (since gazetted as a national monument of Singapore) in particular boasts a castle-like facade possibly inspired by the Queen Ann Revival style of architecture.

Nestled in a garden-like plot of luxuriant foliage and landscaped greenery spanning 6 hectares in aggregate, the 3-storey property offers an inventory of 233 guest rooms, two onsite swimming pools (Main and Mayfair areas) plus a modestly sized gym.

Your description of Goodwood Park Hotel sounds absolutely enchanting! A place with that kind of rich history and Victorian charm is definitely something to be treasured. The lush gardens and castle-like facade sound like they offer a fairytale-like experience right in Singapore.
It's funny, your post reminded me of this guide on the best hotels amsterdam I stumbled upon. Some of those places also offer a blend of history and luxury, like the Waldorf Astoria situated in six 17th-century canal palaces, or the Pulitzer Amsterdam which has a garden courtyard and rooms decorated with a blend of modern and traditional Dutch design. It's amazing how much an architectural and historical context can add to a hotel stay.
