Naumi is in a nice location, lots of local eateries around.
It was recently renovated and does seem to have a nice small boutique feel to it.
There are "coffee shops" all over the area, which are small restaurants that basically sell local food and not really a western coffeeshop.
Lots of locals in the area and Bugis is nearby.
Naumi would be a good choice!
Raffles Hotel is also around the corner from Naumi, in the general vicinity.
Different feel though, more of a colonial style than modern.

It's right around the corner from the Intercon apparently and so presumably benefits from a great location but looks like it has a more boutiquey feel - might just tick the box.
Wan1dap, Hawaiio, jpatokal - does that sound like a plan? You all seem confident that the location fits my bill and your descriptions sound promising - ie mixture of locals and tourists, "local" food as well as malls close by etc. Plenty of street side action/ people traffic etc as I walk out of the hotel right? Are there cafes etc outside the malls as well or just in them?
Thanks everyone - all these specific questions WILL make my choice of location a better one I am sure - just want to get the most out of my trip and hate it when following the status quo ends up in a lesser experience.
