Here’s the perfect excuse to carve out some me-time with the BFF ─ Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore’s Fashionable Girls Staycation.
This one-of-a-kind staycation package is a collaboration with the homegrown online fashion site, hervelvetvase.com.sg. You and your girlfriend will be put up in a Club Room, which comes with 24-hour access to the Club Lounge, free-flow booze and light bites during the daily happy hour at the Club Lounge, a weekend breakfast buffet, and the best part of it all ─ a Fashion Mood Box each from Her Velvet Vase.
Each Fashion Mood Box comprises two sets of outfits ─ a dress, a top, a bottom, a handbag, and accessories ─ curated based on your personality and fashion style. Upon confirmation of the staycation, you’ll be sent a short survey on your sartorial personality.
Besides clothes sizes and colour preferences, they’ll ask you things like your favourite activities, skin tone, fashion inspiration icon, and whether your style is monochrome/edgy/glamorous etc. You can also share with them your Instagram or Facebook account to help them better pick out something suitable.
Don’t snub your nose at the fact that Hotel Jen Tanglin was formally the business traveller-centric Traders Hotel either.
Thanks to an extensive revamp earlier this year, Hotel Jen Tanglin now offers the best of both worlds ─ boutique hotel-like eclectic design and vibe, along with the spaciousness and plush facilities of a 4-star hotel.
We love the little details like the cosy bay window reading nooks, the fact that the mini bar is free of expensive-drinks-booby-traps (after all, there’s Cold Storage just next door at Tanglin Mall!), and the numerous USB charger outlets in each room. There’s even complimentary usage of the hotel’s pretty Tokyo Bikes ─ perfect for some time back in nature at the Singapore Botanic Gardens!
From now till Jan 31, 2017. From now till Jan 31, 2017.
For a romantic getaway with the Hubby, splash out for the Exceptional Moments, Distinctive 2017 package at the glamorous St Regis hotel.
Your 3-night stay will start on a plush note with a guaranteed upgrade to the opulent Grand Deluxe Room.
Besides the spacious layout and luxurious upholstery, the most memorable part of the room will probably be the free-standing bathtub in the French marble bathroom.
There’s even a TV installed within the bathroom mirror so that you can catch up on entertainment while soaking! The package also includes daily breakfast for two at Brasserie Les Saveurs, and $100 dining credits for the hotel’s restaurants and bars.
The ultimate highlight of the stay? Complimentary access to the Wet Lounge at the hotel’s Remede Spa for a truly pampering and rejuvenating staycation. Step into the jacuzzi pools to let the bubble jets ease those aches and pains away, or have a go at a Scandinavian sauna experience with the Finnish Sauna and Ice Fountain.
The latter is an alternative to the cold plunge pool, with crushed ice to cool the body during or after the sauna. After the baths, rest and relax on the Heated Wave Loungers and let yourself be cocooned by the cosy, warm heat.
From now till Feb 13, 2017. $2,017 nett for a 3-night stay.
If the hassle of Chinese New Year festivities is really not your cup of tea, hide away at the Pan Pacific Singapore with their Prosperity Getaway package.
Pick your choice of room ─ if a great view is important to you, the Panaromic Rooms and Harbour Studios are affordable and offer a gorgeous lookout of the city and the South China Sea ─ and you’ll get an immediate 15 per cent discount on the best available room rate, complete with breakfast for two at the Edge restaurant, and complimentary internet access.
Edge’s Sunday Champagne Brunch is one of the best brunches in Singapore, and the hotel is also home to fine-dine restaurants for Chinese, Japanese and Indian cuisine.
There’s no lack of restaurants and watering holes in the vicinity too, given the hotel’s proximity to Suntec City, Marina Square and Millenia Walk. You can make like a tourist and stroll along the Marina Bay or picnic at Gardens by the Bay, or just indulge in a shopping spree at the nearby malls!
You should definitely set aside time to unwind at the hotel’s swimming pool too. There’s a certain top-of-the-world feel, thanks to the backdrop of skyscrapers. If you’re there with the kids, you’ll be pleased to know that there’s even a children’s playground for the little ones!
From now till Feb 12, 2017. 15 per cent discount on the best available rates.
For a staycation with a cultural bent, book a weekend at the Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong, situated in the heart of the Peranakan heritage enclave.
The international Hotel Indigo chain is all about channeling the character and vibrancy of the neighbourhood, and Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong has indeed achieved that boutique hotel aesthete. The colourful decor borrows heavily from Katong’s Nyonya roots, with modern remixes of Peranakan tiles and batik motifs, murals depicting scenes from street life, and nostalgic accents such as bathroom vanity tables that are designed over a sewing machine base.
The staycation, which includes breakfast for two at the Peranakan-influenced Baba Chews Bar and Eatery, also allows you to opt for a late, 4pm checkout ─ that means more time to take in the sights and sounds of the eclectic neighbourhood or relax by the pool.
On-going promotion.From $186 per night for two.
Having Christmas and Chinese New Year back-to-back is a lot of fun, but the constant frenzy and adrenaline can take a toll on you. So book a staycation to give yourself some respite.
Sheraton Towers’s aptly named staycation aims to do just that. Whether you’re after some me-time after the hullabaloo of the festivities, or to hide out from the drudgery of small talk with relatives you don’t know, the Festive Respite package offers a 10 per cent discount on room rates, as well as buffet breakfast for two, when you book a minimum of two nights.
And if shopping is your idea of therapy, you’ll be pleased that the hotel is just a mere stone’s throw away from the main Orchard shopping belt.
Till Feb 28 2017. 10 per cent discount on room rates.
