The Pan Pacific Singapore is ideal for an urban retreat for the family. Popular with families for weekend staycays, the hotel boasts an array of dining options to cater to foodie families. Choices include the impressive buffet spread at Edge, to the refined Japanese dishes at Keyaki (the Weekend Bubbly Brunch comprises an eight-course meal – you select from 40 dishes – accompanied by an unlimited flow of bubblies such as Laurent Perrier Brut NV Champagne, Sparkling Akazaru Shochu and Mio Sparkling Sake); and if everyone prefers local – then there’s the Marketplace which serves favourites like chicken rice, and laksa given an elevated twist with Pacific lobster (psst, the waffles with peanut butter is a must-try!). 

And after a $3-million renovation, the pool is proving to be a hit with the kids. And while they play, you can chill out in one of the cosy cabanas poolside, or get Dad to watch them while you sneak away for a massage at the St Gregory Spa.
