Flutes at the Fort is situated on the picturesque green slope at the Hill Street end of Fort Canning Park. Housed in a beautiful black and white bungalow which was built in 1908, it served as the old Fire Chiefs’ home. The Central Fire Station is clearly visible from the veranda and it isn’t hard to imagine how the Fire Chiefs of old stayed operationally ready all the time.
You can choose to be seated in the air-conditioned indoors, the covered yet unenclosed veranda or the totally open Garden Deck. Original paintings of contemporary Italian artist, Michele Righetti, adorn the walls of the rooms. The Fire Chief's Retreat in particular carries many of his paintings and seats up to 36. The Veranda and the Garden Deck with teak wood floors showcases tropical nature at its best.
