Hotel: Swissotel The Stamford (Singapore) (Club Lounge closed for renovation until sometime in January hence the current Welcome Amenity and benefits)
Status: Platinum
Vip Treatment: Booked cheapest room with APAC discount and 2,000 points and upgraded to larger room on 55th floor with stunning view of Marina Bay. Benefits will no doubt change when Club Lounge reopens. Welcome drink voucher, and 10 am early check in given the day before. Bottle of red wine and chocolates in room. $50 voucher for use between 6-8 pm in Lobby restaurant in place of closed Club Lounge.
Reaction: First time in a Swissotel. A stunning property connected to a swanky shopping mall and the Fairmont. A normal Lounge on the 70th Floor. About 8 ~10 self check in machines in lobby with staff there to help. Very high tech building. About 900 rooms, I think, with two sets of elevators for lower and higher floors respectively. The Singapore $50 F&B voucher was quite enough for a decent meal and drink but guests who like to eat and drink a lot would be much better off waiting for the Club Lounge to reopen. Excellent service from all staff.
