Dempsey Hill
Dempsey Hill is a leafy hillside enclave of restored colonial-era buildings set among rain trees, now filled with restaurants, antique shops, and galleries just minutes from Singapore's Botanic Gardens. Its relaxed, garden-like atmosphere feels worlds away from the city's high-rises, even though it sits in the heart of central Singapore near Orchard Road.
