School’s almost out, and if you’re on the search for fun staycations for a family getaway, set your sights on these themed staycations that draw on the popular cartoon and animated characters, including Pokemon, the highly watched Cocomelon and local wildlife-inspired Otah & Friends.
Over two decades after its inception, Pokemon has remained irresistibly lovable. And if your kids (and you) are fans of the game series and its adorable characters too, then Fairmont Singapore’s Pokemon-themed getaway is bound to be a hit with the family.
The luxury hotel has turned itself into an interactive playground for wannabe Pokemon trainers, with themed elements located at the lounge — like a photo wall and card display — and in the rooms as well. Upon check-in, you’ll be greeted with a quiz booklet to solve various questions throughout your stay; answer it correctly and you’ll get a special gift.
In the room, you can look forward to exclusive Pokemon merch, and to battle it out with your fam, you’ll get the loan of a Nintendo Switch during your stay to try out various Pokémon games: Pokémon SNAP and Pokémon Sword and Shield from 15 Nov 2021, or Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl from Nov 19 (subject to availability).
Pokémon Staycation for two adults and up to two children is priced at $420++ (Sun–Thurs in Nov), and $435++ (Fri–Sat, Eve of PH & for all days in December). Visit its website to book your stay.
Got a kiddo who’s obsessed with the 3D animated nursery rhyme show, Cocomelon?
All-day dining destination Clove at Swissôtel The Stamford has turned into a whimsical Cocomelon-themed space, with tables transformed into booths designed to resemble school buses. The young ones will get to tuck into their favourite characters’ treats and drinks – think a TomTom Favourite Burger, Bingo Paw Bun, Cody’s Mochi Yoghurt Pop, and Wheels on the Bus Oreo milkshake.
Also at Fairmont Singapore, the Cocomelon-themed staycay will get you a night’s stay in either the Fairmont Room or Signature Suite, together with dining credits for Cocomelon at Clove during your stay and a Cocomelon collectible. You can also hit up the outdoor swimming pools, fitness centre and spa facilities, and dig into breakfast for two adults and up to two children the next day.
The CoComelon Staycation for two adults and up to two children is priced at $375++ (Sun – Thu) and $475++ (Fri – Sat; the eve of and on Public Holiday).
For an otterly wonderful time with Otah and Friends, check into the Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay, Parkroyal Collection Pickering, or Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road.
