1. The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore 

Romantic, gastronomic staycation with outstanding service

With our fifth year wedding anniversary looming, it seemed perfect to celebrate the occasion at The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore, especially with its Romantic Epicurean Soirée package. My wife was especially excited about the 5-course set dinner menu at 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung, a Michelin-starred chef. 

Staying at the Stamford Suite as part of the package, we knew we were in for a luxurious treat as the package mentioned champagne, chocolate dipped strawberries, and even in-room continental breakfast for two. Talk about living the high life! But what transpired really blew our minds.

To our pleasant surprise, they even prepared a very generous serving of snacks. This consisted of fresh fruits, nuts, a red velvet cake for the celebration, adorable miniature boxes of delicious cookies and snacks — making us feel pampered right at the very beginning of our stay.

But what we appreciated the most was that they even printed out our wedding photos and hung them tastefully above our bed along with gorgeous fairy lights! This really exceeded our expectations, and the service team at Capitol Kempinski truly went above and beyond in terms of service. 

Truly an enjoyable, luxurious experience

The Stamford Suite is located in the historic 1904 Stamford House wing, beautifully restored to bring a modern feel, with luxurious black marble countertops throughout the room. What we enjoyed was how spacious the suite was, boasting high ceilings and separate bedroom and lounge rooms. 

The open bathroom was a treat as well! Fully equipped with an extremely high rainshower (loved the showering experience), automated water closet with a heated seat, and a bathtub that has its own TV, you can even enjoy a show or two with your partner while indulging in a deep-soak. 

We also tried out their saltwater pool, a great change from the usual chlorinated pool common in hotels. The pool was tucked away in a pretty private corner, hence you get to spend quality time with your loved one! 

Exquisite dining experience

Our 5-course dinner at 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung, a signature Asian bistro and grill restaurant, was another memorable experience. The restaurant serves mouthwatering Asian recipes Chef Alvin, a Michelin-starred chef, with his creative twists to create delectable recipes with bold flavours. The Yellowtail Amberjack and the Mud Crab White Bisque are my personal favourites, both bursting with full-bodied flavours.

Furthermore, the whole experience was equally as comfortable as it was enjoyable. The waiter noticed that Jocelyn was pregnant, provided her with a pillow so she could relax while eating, and ensured that the foods and drinks were safe for her to eat. They even gave her a mocktail in place of a cocktail.

2. ONE°15 Marina, Sentosa Cove

source

As Singapore’s prestigious integrated oceanfront marina, ONE°15 Marina is your home away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel is actually a private marina & yacht club located within Sentosa Cove, a premium residential district in Singapore. There are only 26 rooms available in the entire clubhouse, so it is a great place to enjoy some peace and quiet, to recharge, and to spend quality time with the whole family. 

Relaxing family getaway in Sentosa

Just recently, our family stayed in their Marina Family Room. We checked into Room 15°15, a corner family room that boasts a wonderful view of the marina. Super yachts were part of the most picturesque view – they look really gorgeous! It is also quite nice to see sights other than the Singapore skyline whilst on a staycation. 

The family room is also pretty spacious – great for families, indeed. There is a Hollywood Queen-sized bed that’s perfect for 2 adults, as well as a double-decker bed for 2 older kids. They also provided us with a baby cot (and a high chair, too!) for our little one, which we wheeled to the open balcony for afternoon tea so that baby Ally can soak in the most perfect marina view while getting a breath of fresh air. Our little one absolutely adored the view outside as she got noticeably excited. 

Diverse range of activities for the entire family 

Aside from the relaxing room and mesmerizing views, what’s great about ONE°15 Marina is that they offer a diverse range of activities, programs, and services for the entire family. You may take a dip in their lovely infinity pool while enjoying the spectacular view of the marina. If you prefer to do more physical activities, you may also opt to play tennis in ONE°15 Marina’s very own tennis court or perhaps rent bicycles to go around the lovely marina. 

Dedicated facilities are also available for kids of all ages, which includes an air-conditioned playroom, and even an arcade room – pretty rare in hotels nowadays. To know more about the hotel’s amenities, check out this link.

World-class epicurean delights amidst the picturesque view

Moreover, ONE°15 Marina is home to six signature restaurants and bars, offering world-class epicurean delights amidst the picturesque view of the marina. We tried WOK°15 Kitchen, a restaurant inside the hotel serving up classic Cantonese dishes, and we enjoyed every single bite of their food. We especially loved their dim sum – they are so tasty and the fillings were also very generous. Their honey glazed roasted Spanish barbecued pork is also a must-try! Having tasted their amazing food, we are not that surprised that WOK°15 Kitchen has been named as “Singapore’s Top Restaurant” by Wine & Dine. 

To make the most of our stay, we made sure to dine at Boater’s Bar, a floating restaurant that is located right at the marina. The yachts that were once on our balcony view were right beside us as we ate, making the bar a really great place to celebrate special occasions. The food tastes even better with the impeccable ambience! The 200-day grain-fed black Angus striploin skewer was absolutely divine, and the margarita pizza was delicious as well. However, note that the bar is closed during Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan your stay with this in mind. If not, LATITUDE Bistro is also a good dining alternative, offering alfresco seating with the majestic marina view right in front of you.

Overall, ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove offers really great value for your money with all the impressive hotel amenities, splendid dining choices, spectacular marina view and location. We’d definitely love to go back when we need a break from the hectic city!

4. Andaz Singapore

Modern hotel with great views and delicious food

We recently brought our mum for a staycation in Andaz Singapore, and she really enjoyed her time there. What I particularly like was the modern architecture of the hotel as it is relatively new. Moreover, Klook’s deal was a really good one, $300 for a weekday staycation with $100 dining credits. They even included complimentary all day refreshments at Sunroom on level 25, a lovely place to chill and chit chat.

Our recommended dining options

Highly recommend to dine at 665°F, and order the Boston lobster, that was incredibly delicious. Please do remember to book early as well, as the restaurant capacity isn’t that big (corner room has the best views btw).

You definitely should make a reservation at Mr Stork as well. With sweeping panoramic views and interesting tent options to have your meal, that will make for lovely IG shots. We ordered the platter to share – wings and grilled squid make for a palatable snack option.

One thing though, Andaz Singapore does not provide free parking. So either stay during weekends when it’s per entry, or perhaps Grab or take public transport during weekdays. Unless you have the cash to splash on parking ($30+ for 2D1N on a weekday), then feel free to drive there!
