If it is inconvenient for you to get out of the country for a short vacation (even if it just a couple of days), going for a staycation is the next best alternative. Personally, I enjoy doing staycations right in my home country, Singapore. Even though Singapore is really small (as compared to many other neighbouring countries), there is always something new to discover and learn about this city. The Most-Worth-It Staycation Recently, I did a 3-day 2-night staycation at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel with my partner, Samuel. It turned out to be one of the most fulfilling and satisfying staycations. And here’s why. Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel has everything…

Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel: Best Convention Hotel in Singapore
Best Convention Hotel in Singapore With the rise of modern chic new hotels in the central district, it seems like the older and more established hotels have taken a back seat. But it isn’t the case for Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel which has already undergone a significant facelift and given a new lease of life. It now looks like a true 5-star luxury hotel and no wonder they have recently just garnered four prestigious awards which include Best Convention Hotel, Best Luxury Hotel, Singapore and International Five Star Hotel titles at the Asia Pacific Hotel Awards organized by International Property Media.

My 30th Birthday Celebration At Hotel Jen Tanglin
A Rocky 30 It has been a rocky year. At 30, you start questioning about life and whether what you are doing is all worth it. Although I do not feel like I’ve aged, I am easily exhausted. No matter where you are at, life still goes on. Even at 30, there’s everything worth celebrating. Take it as a celebration of all the things you’ve done and accomplished up until the age of 30.

Hostels in Singapore: 5footway.inn Project Ann Siang
From a traveller's perspective, Singapore is one of the most travel-friendly destinations in Asia. From budget hostels to luxury hotels, you can easily find a suitable accommodation that fits your budget. You can find hostels and hotels in almost every town or precinct in Singapore, but most of them are relatively quite good for the price you are paying. And I enjoy doing staycations at our local hostels and hotels to see how they fare with the accommodation offered in other countries.

Siloso Beach Resort: The Most Eco-friendly Hotel in Singapore
In general, hotels often consumed the most energy and water to maintain its daily operations. Imagine the amount of electricity used for operating the air-conditioners and lightings? How about the massive supply of water which is required to wash bed linens and towels? I do not have any up-to-date stats to reflect the amount of a typical hotel’s energy consumption. I believe the numbers might be too overwhelming for some of us. Numbers aside, at the very least there are hotels which have taken steps to go eco-friendly and have adopted sustainable practices to lower their carbon footprints. My mission has always been to explore all the various eco-friendly hotels…

Novotel Singapore on Stevens Hotel : A Gem Among the Constellation
It is always fun to check out the latest hotel in town especially the newly-built hotels by AccorHotels which often has state-of-the-art facilities. All eyes are set on Novotel Singapore and Mercure Singapore on Stevens Hotel which follows a dual-branded hotel concept that might be in trend in the years to come. With two hotels operating under the same roof, facilities shared across both hotels, and back-of-house operations like housekeeping could be consolidated. This mid-scale 4-star business hotel along Stevens Road proves to be one of the more affordable hotels near the Singapore’s famous entertainment spot and shopping belt of Orchard Road. Heading over to Orchard Road is made…
