• Stay just a 5-minute walk from the park at the Scarlet Singapore. We love its quirky design, located in a converted row of former Chinese shops. Rooms are charming, service is friendly and location is perfect.

Hong Lim Park

• Hong Lim Park is located in the heart of Singapore's bustling Central Business District.
• This small but historically significant park is easily accessible due to its central location, at the junction of North Canal Road and South Bridge Road.
• Hong Lim Park, established in 1885, is not only one of the oldest public gardens in Singapore but also holds the unique title as the location of Speakers' Corner, the only venue in the city-state where public protests are allowed without a police permit.
• This makes it a vibrant hub for free speech and civil demonstrations.

Gay Rights in Singapore

• Same-sex sexual activity is legal for both males and females; for men it was officially legalised in 2022 after being de facto decriminalised since 2007, and for women it was always legal.

Gay Singapore

• Over the past decade, Singapore has upped its game and gone from a stop over city to one of the hippest destinations in Asia. Chinatown hosts a great range of LGBT bars, clubs and saunas, from fancy cocktails in Dorothy’s to dark mazes in ShoGun Sauna.
• Several bars are dotted along Neil Road. Here you will find the city's most popular gay dance club – Tantric, packing in revelers at weekends, who crowd the dance floor to thumping tunes.
