As a local staycationer, I was pretty used to staying at the Andaz for SGD$200 - 250ish over covid, but now it’s more like SGD$500 - 700ish, but thankfully still available on points.

My (hopefully unfounded) worry is that the GH will go up in category (and price) once it’s refurbished. I took a look at one of the renovated floors (photos below) just before it closed and it really is a huge improvement.



But yes, seeing that even at these obscene prices the Andaz is almost always at high occupancy (mostly affluent foreigners these days), Singapore is long overdue for a new Hyatt for us to throw our money/points at.

At least the Hyatt Place in Johor is opening next year for mattress runs… (assuming it’s on schedule).
