The Executive Club Rooms at the Westin Singapore are going for S$400++ instead of $510++ (approximately 22% off). However you lose the ability to cancel without penalty if you opt for the sale rate. Do make sure you compare the rates to make sure you choose one that suits your traveling preferences, budget and flexibility. 

Some other hotels may offer more than just a room rate discount. For example, the St. Regis Bali Resort offers complimentary breakfast and VIP airport transfer alongside a room rate discount.
