Amara is not in Chinatown. It's in Tanjong Pagar, the business district.
Imo, it's at the edge of the business district, facing one of the earlier built housing estate in the foreground and behind it, in the background, one of the newest and most imposing housing estates, Other than the interesting market and hawker centre and the Singapore daily life located just opposite the Amara, the neighbourhood is just... meh.
Btw, it's located next to Carlton City Centre, so the neighbourhood is similar.
