Beachside hideaway with Madagascar vibes

Mention Madagascar and you’ll probably have visions of a tropical wonderland brimming with lush foliage and exotic flora and fauna thanks to the DreamWorks film. Recreate these scenes with a stay at the sustainable Siloso Beach Resort (from $178.50/night), a tranquil and rustic hideaway just steps away from the beachfront.

If you’re looking for a refreshing swim to ease your cluttered mind, take a dip in Singapore’s longest landscape pool. At 95m long, this pool is filled with natural spring water harvested from the hill this resort sits on.

You won’t have to travel all the way to ulu mountains for mineral-rich water when you can find it right here in Sentosa. In the evening, expect a spectacular 18m waterfall to gush soothing sounds as you chill on the daybed. It’ll be like a scene from the movies, we promise.

Previously known as the Festive Hotel, Hotel Ora’s the new kid on the block as far as hotels in Sentosa goes, having just reopened in July 2023. Rooms-wise, they’ve got Deluxe Rooms which start from $411/night, but if you’re looking to splurge, the spacious Deluxe Suite (from $909/night) will more than suffice.

Regardless of your accommodations, you’ll be living lavishly just a stone’s throw away from attractions like Adventure Cove Water Park and Resorts World Sentosa.

How to get to your hotels in Sentosa?

Getting to your hotels in Sentosa is easy. Should you be driving yourself to your hotels, do note that you will have to pay for a Sentosa Island entry fee which starts from $2, based on what time you enter the island.

Image credit: Sentosa

If you’re opting for public transport, taking the Sentosa Express monorail is your best option. You can board the monorail at VivoCity level 3, and rides will cost you $4. Do note that the Sentosa Express monorail is not open 24/7; the first train departs at 7am, while the last train departs at 12am.

You can also take a direct bus to enter Sentosa, bus no. 123. You can board it from Bukit Merah bus interchange, and it’ll make stops at Resort World Sentosa, Village Hotel, and Sentosa Express’ Beach Station. Another bus you can take is the RWS8 bus, which you can board from bus stops at VivoCity, and it’ll bring you to Resorts World Sentosa.

Image credit: Wikimedia Commons

Also you might want to call your hotels to check if they have a shuttle bus service which can ferry you to their doorsteps. For instance, guests staying at The Outpost Hotel Sentosa can board a complimentary shuttle bus from locations like VivoCity and Resorts World Sentosa for a fuss-free ride to their hotel.

However, if you’re looking to return to your hotel after hours, your best bet is to call a private hire vehicle to bring you to your hotel. This is because the Sentosa Express monorail, as well as public buses and even hotel shuttle buses do not operate till late.

If you’d like to save on the Gateway fee or Sentosa Express monorail tickets, you can walk in and out of Sentosa via the Sentosa Boardwalk. It’s a relatively leisurely route complete with shelter and travelators, taking you to the nearby VivoCity in 15 minutes or less.

Where to stay in Sentosa

Whether it’s going on that “Balinese” retreat or midnight swims amongst nature, these 13 Sentosa hotels for staycay retreats are the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. So don’t bother yourself with the tiresome travel details and visa woes, simply hop on over to our friendly neighbouring island for the staycation of your dreams.

11 Fancy Capsule Hotels In Singapore To Dominate With Your Squad On A Budget

Natalie Lim — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 02:19:34 +0000

Best capsule hotels in Singapore

Staycations are the new sleepovers. While we once took turns to crash our friends’ houses as kids under parental supervision, we’re all grown up now, and have slightly more atas squad parties in hotels.

But along with these chill sessions with juicy stories and lots of laughter, comes an empty wallet. It’s just not feasible to keep splashing cash on pricey hotel rooms, and while chalets are cheaper, they’re usually located in hard-to-reach corners of the country.

Fret not – hostels are “in” now, and we’ve found capsule hotels in Singapore that are perfect for that weekend sleepover with your squad, minus the hefty price tag.

1. Cube Boutique Capsule Hostel

Female-only rooms

Another aesthetic capsule hotel in the vibrant Kampong Gelam neighbourhood is the Dream Chaser Boutique Capsule Hotel. It’s got both mixed and male-only or female-only pods, as well as private rooms.

Best hotels in Singapore for all budgets

There’s no shortage of hotels in Singapore to cater to both tourists who fly in for special occasions like concerts and Formula 1, as well as locals who are after staycations.

While there are 5-star options that come with fine dining and a pillow menu, you’ll be surprised at the amount of budget accommodations that are trendy, comfy, and chic. Below, we’ve compiled a list of the best hotels in Singapore, from cheap and cheerful establishments to celeb-approved resorts so you know where to lay your head the next time you’re in Singapore.

1. PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay – View of Marina Bay

It’s not hard to see why it’s been dubbed the “garden in a hotel”.
Image credit: @ibyang via Instagram

PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay is one of the most popular staycation spots during New Year’s Eve or National Day as it overlooks the sparkling Marina Bay. Beyond the views, the interior of the hotel makes you feel like you’re in a nature retreat. Its lobby is located within a skylit atrium with a 13m-tall green wall, surrounded by lush greenery and bird song echoing through.

The swimming pool looks like a sky full of stars at night.

If you’re looking for a romantic place to dine at, make a reservation at the Skyline Bar at the hotel’s rooftop where you can grab some tipples and bites while admiring the city skyline. It’s located right next to the hotel’s 25m-long swimming pool, which uses mineral water that’s milder for those with sensitive skin. We’d recommend staying till after dusk, as the pool is illuminated at night.

Hotels & hostels in Singapore for all budgets

Let’s be honest: a hotel can truly make or break your vacay. While you’re out there searching for a swank hotel that’s clean and comfy, you’d still want to stay within your budget. That, however, doesn’t mean you’ll have to be relegated to a war-torn motel.

Take a leaf out of this trusty list of the best hotels for every budget the next time you want to book a room so you can treat yourself and your wallet at the same time.

Which area of Singapore to stay at?

Singapore’s pretty accessible via public transport, so we’d proudly say that anywhere is great. But if you’re planning to do some major shopping without having to travel far, Orchard and Somerset areas are your best bet. For those with a big budget or travellers coming in for special occasions like Formula 1 weekend, have a look at the swanky hotels in the Marina Bay area.

Then there’s Sentosa island with its abundance of resort-like hotels where you can hop on a free shuttle to the beach and attractions like Universal Studios Singapore in a jiffy.

If you’re on a budget, have a look at Little India, Chinatown, Clarke Quay, and Boat Quay. These neighbourhoods are where you’ll locate wallet-friendly hotels like Fragrance Hotel and Hotel 81, as well as backpackers’ hostels.

Can you book a hotel under 18 in Singapore?

To be able to book a hotel room in Singapore, you’ll need to be 18 and above. Photo IDs such as your NRIC or passport are required upon check-in. Those under the minimum age will have to be accompanied by an adult.

In terms of hotel booking tips, one of the best ways to compare prices between various booking platforms is simply Googling the hotels and dates of your stay. Generally speaking, weekend rates tend to be higher than weekday rates.

You Can Borrow Items Like Muay Thai Boxing Gloves For Free At Hotel Indigo Properties In SEA

Borrowed by Hotel Indigo programme

If you believe that cities are best explored on foot, then you probably give paramount importance to your hotel’s location when travelling. For many of us, the convenience of having eateries, attractions, and activities within walking distance makes planning an itinerary much easier. Plus, it saves a tonne of commuting time and money. Enter Hotel Indigo properties.

Situated in culturally rich neighbourhoods, these hotels around Southeast Asia allow one to stay right in the heart of the hustle and bustle. Set foot outside and you’ve got plenty of opportunities to mingle with the locals, try regional delicacies, and explore historic landmarks. And to support your journey, you can borrow items from the hotels for free for a limited time.

Things to do near Hotel Indigo properties in Southeast Asia

This is all part of the newly-introduced Borrowed by Hotel Indigo programme. The initiative is a simple way to encourage you to immerse yourself in the local culture and discover fun things to do in each of these cities.

Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong

While most tourists would have heard about the colourful houses as one of the photo spots in Joo Chiat, not many actually stay in this neighbourhood. Truth be told, there’s so much to see in this neighbourhood that it warrants an overnight stay.

Rumah Bebe is a Peranankan heritage boutique just a 3-minute walk from the hotel.

From Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong, you can easily walk to the Sri Senpaga Vinayagar Temple, visit The Intan Peranakan Museum, and pick up souvenirs from Cat Socrates.

Image adapted from: IHG Hotels & Resorts

The hotel will provide you with a tote bag, umbrella, and woven fan to keep you cool in the hot weather and to use as props for pretty pictures. You can also get a tiffin from the hotel to dabao food such as Nonya dumplings from Kim Choo Kueh Chang, hawker delights from Marine Parade Central Market, and the famous 328 Katong Laksa.

Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road

Image credit: Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road Facebook

Those heading to the land of smiles can consider staying at Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road. Based on the type of traveller you are, they’ve got 3 sets of items you can borrow – the Picnic Set, Photographer Set, or Explorer Set.

The last one – known as “Teaw Talod” – equips guests with Thai-style sandals, an herbal inhaler, and a neighbourhood map. You’ll also get items to help you beat the Bangkok heat like a palm leaf hand fan, Thai fabric that can be used as a headband, and prickly heat spray.

Bangkok Art and Culture Centre.

Within a 15-minute walking radius from the hotel, you can check out Lumpini Park where locals often jog and cycle while tourists rent boats to enjoy the scenery from the lake. Don’t miss out on visiting the Erawan Shrine either where you may be able to catch Thai dance performances.

Slightly further away, about 15 minutes by car, lies the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre consisting of art galleries, bookshops, and craft shops. The centre also occasionally hosts exhibitions and live performances.

Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach

Double Six Beach is within walking distance of the hotel.

Frequent Bali goers will know that Seminyak is one of the most happening parts of the island thanks to the buzzing Bali beach clubs and shopping boutiques. It’s also the perfect spot to catch beachside sunsets, unwind with cocktails by the sea, and engage in water activities.

In fact, Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach offers guided surfing lessons, and you can also borrow rash guards from the hotel to protect yourself from UV rays and abrasion from the sand. In addition, the hotel provides a Balinese fabric known as endek so you can dress like a local in a ceremonial dress, as well as a mountain bike to explore the neighbourhood on 2 wheels.

If you’re wondering what else there is to do around the hotel, you can head to Warung Big Boss for authentic Indonesian food; or join a beach party at La Plancha Bali.

A 15-minute car ride away, you can also indulge in games like mini golf and axe throwing at The Shooters. Close to that is an IG-famous pink cafe Kynd Community that serves plant-based dishes.

Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong

Apart from Bali, another popular beach destination for Singaporeans is Phuket. And a stay at Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong means you’ll be within walking distance of the ocean and the town’s vibrant nightlife scene. The highlight of the property is its gorgeous rooftop pool from which you can also witness the famous sunsets of Patong Beach.

At this property, one can borrow a wooden games set to try their hand at local games, a yoga mat for early morning workouts by the sea, and Muay Thai boxing gloves. You don’t even have to go far to try those out as the hotel has its own Muay Thai boxing ring.

If you’re really into the sport, make your way down to the Bangla Boxing Stadium to catch a live fight. Otherwise, stroll along the Bangla walking street where pubs, restaurants, and Thai discos are open till late.

Stay at Hotel Indigo properties in SEA & borrow items for free

Image credit: IHG Hotels & Resorts

It’s always a treat to uncover hidden gems in a city that you may have travelled to several times, but never got a chance to explore like a local. When all the touristy spots have been checked off the list, enhance your travel experience by rediscovering such neighbourhoods through the lens of the natives.

And what better way to do that than to ask the locals themselves? When you stay at any of the Hotel Indigo properties, make it a point to check in with the staff and ask for recommendations on where to go and what to do in their neighbourhood. Lastly, remember to ask for free items you can borrow to accompany you on your adventures.

Despite being at a prime location, Orchard Rendezvous Hotel is at the quieter end of Orchard, so even after hitting up the bars in town, you’ll still get the peaceful respite you need on a staycation.

10 Hotels In Singapore With The Biggest Swimming Pools So You Don’t Have To Fight For Nua-ing Space

Persis Gan — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 16:30:16 +0000

Biggest hotel swimming pools in Singapore

Everyone needs a little staycay at some point, with super soft hotel sheets to wake up in, fluffy pillows and lazy afternoons lounging by the hotel swimming pools – and you don’t want to feel as though you’re on a regular visit to a public swimming pool complex.

Here are the 10 hotels with the biggest swimming pools in Singapore where you can feel like royalty as you soak.

1. Capella Singapore – 3 levels of cascading pools with float rentals

Image credit: @capellasingapore

Well-known for its feathered residents, Capella Singapore is one of the few pet-friendly hotels in Singapore. The resort-like hotel on Sentosa has not 1, but 3 cascading pools designed with Bali’s rice paddy fields as inspiration. And the pretty peacocks are a common sight, making the poolside photos here even more IG-worthy.

Image adapted from: @capellasingapore, @heydeets

Open daily from as early as 7am till the golden hour, pool services include float rentals in the shapes of cute unicorns or water beds that can fit a couple. Make your way to one of the pools early in the day as these floats are available to use in the pools only from 11.30am-1.30pm.

If you want to find out how crowded the pools are before you pack your swimming bag and leave the comfort of your hotel room simply call the pool attendants using the 5318 phone extension for live updates.

In terms of accommodation, you can choose between rooms and suites facing their gardens or Sentosa beaches; villas with their own private pools and outdoor bathtub; and luxury manors that can fit an entire family.

2. Paradox Singapore Merchant Court – Resort-style pool with slides

Paradox Singapore Merchant Court at Clarke Quay lies right by the Singapore River. While taking a dip in the river is a no-go, you’ll want to dedicate some time to splash around in the hotel’s picturesque swimming pool.

Image credit: @_soojinnn_

Families with really young ones can swim safely in the shallow kiddie pool and slightly older children can go down the water slides again and again … and again.

Adults, don’t miss out on the whirlpool jacuzzi that lies in a slightly more secluded part of the pools, surrounded by lush greenery for a little quiet time.

Plus, you can order some drinks and snacks served by the pool bar which can be enjoyed on the poolside deck chairs.

Image credit: Paradox Hotels

If you choose the most basic Premier Rooms, you can opt for a double bed or twin bed, and top up a small amount to get one with a balcony.

Step out of your hotel and there are plenty of things to do in Clarke Quay including the iconic GX-5 Extreme Swing.

3. One Farrer Hotel – Olympic-sized pool in Little India

Image credit: One Farrer Hotel

Not many hotels in Singapore can boast an Olympic-size swimming pool, what’s more in the middle of town. But One Farrer Hotel in Little India sure can. Anyone who loves swimming laps without any obstructions will love the 50m pool here.

Bonus: you’ll get unobstructed views of the neighbourhood as there are no tall buildings in front of the pool. So, grab yourself a spot on the mosaic-tiled platforms to get pretty poolside photos with the clear blue sky.

Image credit: Andy Doe

Psst … Sky Lounge Club members, you’ve got an extra perk of exclusive access to the hot jacuzzi and cold plunge pool on level 18 of the hotel.

We doubt you’ll want to leave the pool area, but if you do, it’s nice to know that Farrer Park MRT is just a 3-minute walk away or stay in the neighbourhood and explore the lesser-known gems in Little India.

Image credit: @bitoyzky

The contemporary Hard Rock Hotel serves up a rock and roll theme, with memorabilia like rock singers’ iconic outfits scattered throughout the hotel. But what’s extra special is that their pool has a beach theme, with real sand for that seaside experience.

If you don’t wish to get your feet sandy, just jump into the lap pool or pop by the pool bar with submerged stools to get yourself a well-earned drink. For the more active #fitspos, you can head to their beach volleyball courts too to challenge your friends, too.

Image credit: @missidachong

You can opt for a Deluxe Room, their standard room decorated with bold colours. You can opt to book the Rock Star Suite if you’re feeling a little more fancy, which accommodates up to 4 adults and 4 children.

If one huge swimming pool isn’t enough for you, the enormous Sofitel at Sentosa has several different ones for you to choose from. The main pool is surrounded by trees and large day beds to laze on, while the pools in the individual villas offer more privacy. It also doesn’t hurt that there are beautiful peacocks strutting all over the place.

To pamper yourself just a little more, book yourself an appointment at Sofitel SO SPA. Here, you’ll still be spoilt for a choice between the lap pool, a float pool with waterfalls and a mud pool to try out the detoxifying Moroccan rhassoul clay. There’s also a women’s only pool.
