It's a Kid-themed Staycation at Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay + GIVEAWAY!

Media Invite

One thing that I adore about staycations is it allows the family to enjoy a relaxing break from the usual routine without hitting the road, or skies. No need for passports, no jams and definitely no excessive packing!

Especially if it involves a hotel that designed with kids in mind.

Say hello to the 'Roarin' Kids Kingdom' family suite at Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay, a hotel located smack in the middle of the city. Yes, relaxation has never been so accessible.

But first, can I just mention that this hotel was where the wifey and I got married 15 years ago??? Back then, it was known as Hotel New Otani so just for remembrance sake, we visited the ballroom and asked Ayd to snap a photo of us at the place we we waited to march in. Oh, the nostalgia!

Everything looked almost similar but in a much newer and elegant condition of course, given that Novotel had done a great job in refurnishing the place after it took over.

Check-in was a breeze and we soon found ourselves in our family suite. And from the moment I opened the door, it was not difficult to predict the monkies' response.

How cute are these cartoon animal wall murals that adorn the suite corridor leading to the rooms?

By contrast, the main bedroom of 1 king-sized bed looked pretty normal.

At least the bathroom was HUGE.

And it came with a jacuzzi too!

But jacuzzi or not, the monkies' first instinct was to gravitate towards the other half of the family suite.

How not to when the kids' portion of the suite is so colourfully decorated!

From the cheery bedlinen (it's Tsum Tsum Frozen-themed so major brownie points scored in Ale's books already 🤣), kid-sized furniture, to even their own DVD player and cartoon DVDs , it was hard for the monkies not to fall in love with their very own cozy space.

See the bookshelves? The room also came stocked with story books for kids!

ALL hotel rooms should be dressed up like this for kids. Period.

Personally, I was definitely pleased to see that the room was super spacious and that its design was actually simple but contemporary. Everything looked new, and not dated.

There is also a swimming pool for hotel guests on Level 6 and although it's nothing to shout about, it is good for a few laps.

At the hotel lobby, there is a mini corner for kids too with an XBOX Kinect console and interactive touchscreen table to keep them busy.

Besides the  'Roarin' Kids Kingdom' family suite, Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay is currently offering a Hotel Transylvania-themed room for families too!

To mark the release in Singapore of Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monster Vacation animated movie, the hotel has dressed up some of its rooms with Hotel Transylvania fittings.

For starters, kids will be presented with Hotel Transylvania 3 welcome gifts on arrival. On entering the room, they will discover a space entirely designed based on the movie: door hangers, eye masks, bed linen, cushions, mugs, foil cups and children’s bath robes to offer a truly unique experience of the animated movie’s world!

But that's not all - during your stay (and depending on the weekend of stay), the children will be entertained by the different Hotel Transylvania 3 activities like movie screenings, mask parties, storytelling sessions, canvas painting and pizza making.

The great thing is the activities are open to ALL guests, not only for those staying in the Hotel Transylvania 3-themed rooms. During our stay, the activity for that weekend was pizza making and there was absolutely no way the monkie would miss that!

The Hotel Transylvania 3-themed rooms will only be available until 31 October 2018 and should you be staying during this period, here are the activities that the kids can look forward to.

I think I can safely say the highlight of our staycation was the family suite. In fact, I think we spent more time chilling in our room than venturing outside! But that is exactly how a staycation should be - relaxing, unhurried, and kid-friendly.

That last bit is precisely what Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay's “Family&Novotel” package entails:

- Family room designed for two adults and two children: a study area for drawing, TV channels and cartoon DVDs for children
- Accommodation and breakfast are free for two children under the age of 16 sharing a room with their parents or grandparents
- 50% reduction on the cost of a second room for children aged 8 to 16
- Baby equipment available free of charge on request (cot, highchair, bottle sterilizer, etc.)
- Welcome gifts for children
- Children’s menu

Now that is what I call a staycation.
