The Goodwood Park Hotel, a Preferred Heritage Hotel was designated a National Monument in 1989. Built in 1900, the Hotel housed the largest foreign colony in Singapore - The German Teutonia Club.

The Manasseh Brothers, three wealthy Jewish brothers bought the Clubhouse in 1918, together with five surrounding houses and renamed it Goodwood Hall, after the famous 'Goodwood' racecourse in England. It was used as a function room cum Restaurant and Entertainment Palace.
