Review: Hilton Singapore Foodie Staycation

Hilton Aaron Wong - Oct 4, 2020 19

While parts of the Hilton Singapore have been brought into the 21st century, the rest of the hotel remains locked in a time capsule, making this a staycation best suited for the nostalgia-seeking.

Review: Marina Bay Sands Staycation

Hotels Aaron Wong - Sep 11, 2020 30

MBS's infinity pool is a showstopper, but worn-out rooms, cleanliness issues, and a dire breakfast spread make your staycation a gamble.

Review: The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore Staycation

GHA Aaron Wong - Sep 6, 2020 52

The Capitol Kempinski has impeccable service, beautiful rooms and the best breakfast in all of Singapore. But is the staycation experience better than the Raffles?

Review: The Fullerton Hotel Singapore Staycation

Hotels Aaron Wong - Aug 24, 2020 31

Staycation guests at The Fullerton Hotel will enjoy stunning architecture, updated rooms and great service. Pity about the breakfast, though.

Review: Mandarin Orchard Singapore Staycation

Hotels Aaron Wong - Aug 15, 2020 22

With dated rooms and a tiny pool, the Mandarin Orchard won't be the ideal staycation experience for all- but how about that view from the club lounge?

Review: Raffles Hotel Singapore Staycation

Accor Aaron Wong - Aug 9, 2020 59

What will you get at a Raffles Hotel staycation? Excellent service, good food, immersive history and some naughty magazines. While it's not flawless, it's still a very special experience.
