The Family Rooms at Concorde Hotel Singapore are Perfect for Staycations + WIN 2D1N Stay!

Media Invite

Staycations are wonderful for the parenting soul, simply because they allow for a quick recharge without the need of excessive packing compared to an overseas trip. Which is great especially for families with young kids.

Better still if the hotel is situated at a central location, in the vicintiy of good food and shopping AND boasts spacious a Family Room like this!

Formerly known as the Le Meridien Hotel, the Concorde Hotel Singapore is located a short stroll away from Dhoby Ghaut and Somerset MRT stations. That is right in the heart of Orchard Road and within walking distance to Centrepoint, Orchard Central, 313 Somerset and Plaza Singapura.

The hotel's facade may look a little jaded but the interior featured a bright and airy atrium lobby with its beautiful bullet-like elevators. They light up the lobby during the night and the view from inside is just spectacular.

Not as spectacular as my monkies' smiles. But I'm biased like that.

Well, the monkies certainly have every reason to be cheerful... because just how spacious is our hotel room???

The newly refurbished Family Room comes with brand new carpets, improved lightings, curtains, wallpapers and more accessible bedside USB power points including other kid-friendly amenities.

Of course, we all know how Wi-Fi is (almost) as important as air, no? Not only is the Wi-Fi free and allows for unlimited connectivity, it is available for multiple devices, suiting families. In addition, Concorde Hotel Singapore offers the fantastic benefit of the complimentary Handy smartphone service, complete with GPS, 3G, interactive maps and a whole host of other apps. Really handy for guests to bring it out of their rooms and explore Singapore!

The bathroom is pretty spacious, and having both a standing shower and bathtub is always welcome.

But the real draw for families booking the Family Room are these hidden gems.

What are they?

TADAH! It's a set of bunk beds!

Each family room consists of a king-sized bed AND twin bunk beds which can be folded up to create more space in the bedroom when not in use.

For some reason, the monkies seem to love them! 😉

Personally, I love how spacious the entire room is - very important especially when doing a staycation with kids!

Our Family Room is located on the third floor, which came with a outdoor area for chilling.

Great for indulging in a meal of roti prata. Yes, there's a stall beisde the hotel that sells bryani and prata. Yums!

Not to worry about the extra calories though because the hotel has recently completed uplifting works at its swimming pool, children’s playground and kids dipping pool.

Which the monkies needed no invitation to start some splashing fun!

For dinner, we headed down to Spices Cafe to check out the buffet spread.

In celebration of the hotel's 10th anniversary, Concorde Hotel Singapore is currently having the Harvest of the Sea Buffet Dinner which comes with a spread of fresh succulent seafood with unlimited servings of 4 crab dishes - salted egg, black pepper, Singapore’s signature chilli crab and its daily special - that are made to order.

Additionally, every diner can choose from along with a complimentary serving of Baked Half Lobster or Braised Baby Abalone with Broccoli and Mushroom.

And what is a seafood buffet without fresh sashimi and plump oysters?

There were also local favourites like a live cooking station for Laksa and various hot food items like prawns and BBQ meat to satisfy every craving.

The dessert bar usually gets the most attention from the monkies and it's not surprising since it is packed with a plethora of English pastries, cakes and Nonya traditional desserts. Oh, and there's durian pengat too!

The buffet dinner starts from $55++ per adult and $24++ per child but you pay only $42++ per adult (Mon-Thurs) and $45++ per adult (Fri-Sun, Eve of PH and PH) when you book online through the hotel HERE!

All in, I have to say our staycation at Concorde Hotel Singapore surprised me somewhat. I've passed by the hotel countless times and the exterior did not catch my eye. However, that all changed when I stepped inside for the first time. I love the atrium lobby, and love the Family Room even more.

It's a great location to have a short staycation with the family... I know that because the wifey was out shopping with Ale along Orchard Road while the boys and I just chilled in the room!

And that, is what a staycation is all about.
