Last month, the Mandarin Oriental ran a flash sale on staycation vouchers, with rooms starting from S$328 nett. From 10-24 October 2020, they’re running another flash sale which is slightly more expensive, but potentially better value.
Mandarin Oriental Epicurean Escapade Offer

From 10-24 October 2020, Mandarin Oriental is selling the following Epicurean Escapade vouchers:
Weekday | Weekend | |
Deluxe Room | S$352 nett | S$423 nett |
Ocean View Room | S$359 nett | S$430 nett |
Marina Bay View Room | S$380 nett | S$458 nett |
Premier Room | S$430 nett | S$500 nett |

Oriental Suite | S$2,754 nett | S$2,754 nett |
Mandarin Suite | S$3,884 nett | S$3,884 nett |
A weekday is defined as stays with arrivals from Sunday to Thursday. A weekend is defined as stays with arrivals on Friday or Saturday. All stays must be used from 11 October to 30 December 2020, and Fans of M.O benefits do not apply.
All rates include:
- Breakfast
- 3-course set dinner for two
- 25% off F&B
- 6 p.m guaranteed late check-out
For comparison’s sake, a Deluxe Room under the previous sale cost S$328 nett for weekdays and S$364 nett on weekends. You’re basically topping up S$24/S$58 nett for dinner for 2 on weekdays/weekends. It’s definitely worth it for weekdays, and potentially worth it for weekends.
Update: Klook is selling the same package on its website, but you can use the WCSTAYCAY code with the DBS Woman’s World Card for a further 15% off (capped at $30), or STAYWITHCITI with any Citibank card for the same discount. |

What’s the staycation experience at the Mandarin Oriental like right now?
I haven’t seen a whole lot of Mandarin Oriental staycation reports on the Telegram chat yet, but we know that the current breakfast arrangement is an a la carte buffet with unlimited servings, served at Dolce Vita (menu available here).
๐ณ Curious how other hotels are doing Phase 2 breakfast? |
With buffets out of the question during Phase 2, how are different hotels handling breakfast? Find out in this post. |
The pool and gym will be subject to the usual safe distancing measures (i.e pre-booking is required), and the Oriental Club Lounge is closed until further notice.
What card should I use to buy Mandarin Oriental vouchers?
It looks like Mandarin Oriental processes these bookings in SGD through its own website, so you should be able to use any card that earns a bonus for online spending, or for hotel spending. If you’re feeling nervous, it’s probably best to use the DBS Woman’s World Card.

Conclusion
If you missed out on the previous Mandarin Oriental sale, this one could be a decent deal too. However, do remember these are non-refundable vouchers, so be sure about your dates before you buy.
Anyone done a staycation recently at Mandarin Oriental? What was the experience like?
I think Klook is also selling the vouchers at similar prices though not sure if Klook vouchers include tax and GST.
yup you’re right! and it’s cheaper after the discount codes are used. i’ll update the post
Did a MO staycation 2 weeks ago Breakfast was at Melt Cafe using the same menu posted. Dolce Vita won’t have sufficient capacity to serve all the hotel guests during weekends so I guess the breakfast venue could change based on the no of guests that they have. MO did email me to book swimming pool slots beforehand but there was no one checking at the pool on the actual day. We simply walked in and used the pool. I was able to check in at 12pm on a Saturday, so you all can try asking the hotel through their… Read more »
