Here’s a specially curated list for you to consider

With more than 170 hotels now approved to take in leisure guests for stays, Singapore hotels are offering a plethora of packages to entice Singapore residents to do a staycation. While the post-Covid-19 staycation experience will definitely be different from what you used to know, it’s still at least a break from your day-to-day work-from-home life.

Here are some of the best deals you can take advantage of:

Final thoughts

There are plenty of offers out there now that Singapore is progressively opening up its economy and hotels are fighting for revenue in the absence of tourists. Definitely plenty to choose from, but bear in mind that hotel offerings will be distinctly different from what it used to it.

I won’t be in a rush to book many staycations at this moment, given that there will be plenty of time to do it in the months ahead. So keep an eye on bank offers and more offers from hotels, and watch this space as we bring you more offers as they come along.
