Hilton has launched the “Hilton Dream” sale; Hilton Singapore rooms are also available from $201 nett

Conrad Centennial has joined the long list of hotels approved to receive leisure guests. From 16 Dec 2020, the hotel in the Marina area will reopen its doors to leisure guests once again after being shut for nearly three quarters of the year.

Changes to lounge operations

While the hotel will welcome guests, Executive Room guests and Hilton Honors Diamond Elite members will have to contend with some changes to operations, according to the hotel.

Conrad Centennial will only operate one lounge at Level 31 when it reopens on 16 Dec. The poolside lounge at level 4 will be closed until further notice.

The Level 31 lounge will be opened from 3pm to 10pm daily, serving both afternoon tea and evening cocktails at the following hours:

• Afternoon tea: 3pm to 5pm
• Evening cocktails: 6pm to 8pm

According to the hotel, afternoon tea will be consist of sandwiches and cakes served to the table on a stand, with coffee, tea and other non-alcoholic beverages available. In the evening, complimentary evening drinks will be served with hors d’oeuvres.

As with Hilton Singapore, prior reservation is required to visit the lounges during both sessions. You will be able to reserve a one-hour slot for each session.

The lounge will not be serving breakfast, so guests will have to head to Oscars for breakfast from 7am to 10.30am (weekdays) or 11am (weekends).

Facilities

The hotel is expected to reopen all facilities, including the fitness centre, swimming pool and on-property restaurants and bars, but do expect that capacity controls will be in place.
