The Cheapest Luxury Hotel Staycation Deals in Singapore That You Should Take Advantage of in Phase 2
There are a handful of luxury staycation deals in Singapore that are just too good to pass up but if you are simply looking for an affordable getaway, these are some of the best room packages that I have seen since Phase 2 of Singapore’s reopening. At the time of writing, most of these properties are 5-star luxury hotels (offering a room package at an affordable price point) but I would be adding other staycation deals as more hotels in Singapore are approved by the STB and MTI to start accepting leisure bookings from local residents.

Luxury of Time at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore (from S$380++ per Night)
Approval Status: Approved
The Fullerton Hotel Singapore is one of the most iconic properties in Singapore so if the hotel is on your bucket list, you can now stay in a beautiful Premier Courtyard Room (with a space-available upgrade into a Heritage Room) for just S$380++. The Luxury of Time room voucher also comes with S$150 nett dining credit which you can use across dining outlets and in-room dining but make sure you purchase this before 31 July 2020 (voucher is valid for 12 months).
The Luxury of Time room voucher at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore comes with the following inclusions:
One-night accommodation in a Premier Courtyard Room
Complimentary upgrade to a Heritage Room
Early check-in at 11.00 a.m. and late check-out at 6.00 p.m.
Breakfast for two adults and one child (below 12 years old)
Complimentary extra bed for one child (below 12 years old)
S$150 nett dining credit for redemption at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore's dining outlets and in-room dining
The Shutterwhale’s Take: Getting S$150 F&B credit from a room rate of S$380++ is fantastic but do note that certain credits cards from Standard Chartered (e.g. X Card) give you up to 50% off the total dining bill - you will not be able to stack this with the room credit. I would personally make a stay-in weekend out of this voucher and utilise the room credits for in-room dining instead.
Retreat to Sanctuary at the Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa (from S$388++ per Night)
Approval Status: Approved
If getting away from the main island of Singapore is a major concern, then the Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa may be an excellent property for you. The Retreat to Sanctuary room package starts from just S$388++ a night and it comes with a 60-minute massage at So SPA as well as a set dinner for two. Complimentary breakfast is also included so you’ll get to spend plenty of time in the resort and that beautiful swimming pool.
The Retreat to Sanctuary room package at the Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa comes with the following inclusions:
Complimentary Breakfast Set
1-Hr SoSPA Massage Voucher
Signature Set Dinner
Complimentary Scheduled Shuttle Service to and fro the Resort and VivoCity
Complimentary Fish Spa
The Shutterwhale’s Take: Getting a 60-minute massage for two at So SPA makes this a really desirable room package. I did enjoy my previous stay at the Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa but I did not find the food to be outstanding on my last visit. With that said, it might be cumbersome to head out of the property to find food so getting dinner served on-property is a nice touch.
Blissful Escapes at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel (from S$380++ per Night)
Approval Status: Approved
Check-in any time you want and then check out 24 hours later when you book the Blissful Escapes room package (e.g. check-in at 10 PM and check out the next day at 10 PM). Stay in one of the beautifully-appointed Pool Terrace Rooms with direct access to the swimming pool and enjoy an English High Tea experience (complete with Champagne) for two.
Blissful Escapes at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel comes with the following inclusions:
24-hour use of the room, subject to availability (e.g. check-in at 11 AM and check-out at 11 AM the next day)
Delightful English High Tea with Champagne for two persons
Complimentary breakfast for up to two persons
One complimentary parking during your stay
The Shutterwhale’s Take: The Pool Terrace Rooms at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel are a hidden gem of the property - I stayed in one of these rooms approximately five years ago and really enjoyed my stay. Considering how much these rooms typically go for, S$380++ per night is a steal and you can really stretch your weekend by checking-in later (e.g. after dinner).
The Hotel Experience Exclusive Package at Sofitel Singapore City Centre (from S$348++ per Night)
Approval Status: Approved
Available any day of the week until 01 January 2021, enjoy a staycation in the Sofitel Singapore City Centre that comes with a choice between a complimentary exquisite afternoon tea or tapas platter and drinks for two.
The Hotel Experience Exclusive Package at Sofitel Singapore City Centre comes with the following inclusions:
Breakfast for 2
Late Check-Out Till 4 PM
$40 F&B credit per night
Executive Chef Dubois’ tapas platter paired with Head Mixologist Michael Mendoza’s selection of Barrel-aged Cocktails or handcrafted Mocktails (One complimentary cocktail per person)
Or
A luxurious high tea for two with a scrumptious selection of pastries paired with the best selection of teas from TWG (Book two nights and be entitled to both)
The Shutterwhale’s Take: Go for the Luxury Club Room (S$468++) or the Prestige Suite (S$588++) if you can as it is only marginally more expensive than the lead-in room category (especially if you are planning to stay-in).
Restless in Singapore at Goodwood Park Hotel (from S$498++ for two nights)
Approval Status: Approved
Goodwood Park Hotel is known for her strong food and beverage offerings and guests who book the Restless in Singapore room package will get to enjoy a set lunch at Gorden Grill or a degustation dinner experience at Coffee Lounge on their first day of day. In addition to that, they can also pick between an English Afternoon Tea experience at L’Espresso or Set Dinner at Min Jiang on the second day of stay.
Restless in Singapore room package at the Goodwood Park Hotel comes with the following inclusions:
Choice of 3-course Big on Small Set Lunch at Gordon Grill or 3-course Local Degustation Dinner at Coffee Lounge on the first day
Choice of English Afternoon Tea at L’Espresso or Set Dinner at Min Jiang on the second day
Daily Set Breakfast at Coffee Lounge
Complimentary early check-in from 10 AM
Complimentary late check-out at 3 PM
Room upgrade to next category on availability
The Shutterwhale’s Take: The rooms at Goodwood Park Hotel may be slightly dated but there is no doubt that is a great deal if you are planning to stay-in during your staycation. A 3-course set lunch at Gordon Grill typically cost S$58++ per person and English Afternoon Tea experience at L’Espresso typically cost up to S$48++ per person so you are actually paying less than S$300++ for two nights at the Goodwood Park Hotel which also comes with daily breakfast.
Stay Longer Save More at Marina Bay Sands (from S$299++ a Night) - Minimum Stay of 2 Nights
Approval Status: Approved
If the Marina Bay Sands is on your bucket list (as it should be), you should definitely check out the Stay Longer Save More room package which starts from just S$598++ for a 2-night stay! Enjoy a complimentary room upgrade upon reservation (the confirmed room type is the upgraded room type) and if you manage to book quickly (reservation starts on 16 July 2020), you may be eligible for a further nightly credit of S$60 (a total of S$120 for two nights) in the form of Destination Dollars - this is equivalent to 17% cashback!
Stay Longer Save More at Marina Bay Sands comes with the following inclusions:
Complimentary room upgrade immediately upon reservation. Rate and room type shown is after the upgrade
Complimentary S$60 or S$50 credit per night with FREE Sands Rewards LifeStyle membership (limited availability)
Complimentary valet parking / self-parking (1 car per room per 24 hours)
Early check-in at 12 pm (subject to room availability)
Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi
Complimentary entry to Sands SkyPark Observation Deck & Infinity Pool
15% off ArtScience Museum tickets
10% off single treatments and 15% off couple treatments at Banyan Tree Spa till 31 Dec 2020
The Shutterwhale’’s Take: For a property that typically charges anywhere between $520++ to S$600++ a night for the lead-in room category, this is a great deal to take advantage of if you are planning a long weekend. There is also a different staycation offer (from S$339++) if you are planning to do just one night but doing two nights will give you more time to enjoy the facilities and it will also stretch your dollar a bit more if your room nights are amongst the first 800 reserved nights under this promotion (since you will get S$120 back in Destination Dollars).

The Shutterwhale’s Take: A great price for a room night in the Garden Wing of the Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore. Family with children should definitely consider this room package as the brand new Splash Zone (think lazy rivers, slides, jet cannons, and wading pools) can be accessed for free by hotel guests. If you are a Golden Circle member, signing-up for the double points promotion and consuming your stay(s) before 30 August 2020 makes it even more worthwhile.
Weekend Staycation at Oakwood Premier AMTD Singapore (from S$195++)
Approval Status: Approved
Ever wanted to live in a luxury serviced apartment in the city? The Weekend Staycation room package at Oakwood Premier AMTD Singapore starts from just S$195++ per night and it comes with complimentary late check-out if available.

The Shutterwhale’s Take: Valid for stays from Friday to Sunday (inclusive) only, this room package is perfect for couples looking to spend some time together or for a few close friends to get together. The rooms at Oakwood Premier AMTD Singapore are luxuriously-furnished and you will also be able to cook in the kitchen so that is great if you are planning on doing something special food-wise. The property is also walking distance to all the cool new cafe spots around Tanjong Pagar and Keong Saik.
Not all of the properties listed in this article have received approval from STB and MTI to start accepting leisure bookings from local residents but I will update them as and when it happens. If you do not spending a little more, there are really attractive luxury staycation offers that are going on right now so you should try to take advantage of that.
Probably the best sign-up offer for Citi Credit Cards - get S$400 cash reward with minimum spend of S$500 within 30 days for new customers.
