Looking for 4 nights during November for a family of 4 - kids are 7 and 3. We are very intrigued by the pool at Marina Bay Sands.
1) Checked a few hotel booking program (Chase CSR and Visa Signature) and MBS does not seem to be in these programs. Any way to book MBS with room upgrade? 2) We are the type that prefer local food instead of hotel food. We would rather eat at the hawkers than fancy high tea in the hotel 3) Any other recommendation instead of MBS? Everything else being equal, the pool seems very interesting and I believe the kids would love it I would not suggest MBS...I'd say Fullerton Bay Hotel to be the much better option. Upgrade at booking isn't an issue with any of us who are Virtuoso Advisors...Also, the Fullerton Bay is a 5 minute walk to a hawker station for local street food, so that should work well for your family, too. Cheers! |

... they offer complimentary bicycles, which is our favorite way to explore a city. The bikes would be our main reason to choose this hotel.

You're moving from winter/spring (where your bodies are accustomed to the cold), are you sure you want to be cycling everywhere in 30-33deg (celcius), 80+% humidity weather?

Yes, bicycling around cities is far and away our very favorite thing to do unless it is pouring rain. You can experience the culture of a city in a different way on bikes, and we love doing it. It will be late September, so weather will be fine.
How many days to acclimatize ? Do you really enjoy humidity ? I recall it ' s your honeymoon ! There are hop on / hop off buses which may be an alternative to do , first . You can check out the cycling scene then on the roads .. Perhaps safer on Sentosa , or try the park connector and east coast park with bicycle lanes - hear it is good from others . Will be more bicycle friendly in 5 years ;) |

Not a lot of talk about the Fairmont on here. Any reason? We're strongly considering it, as we have suite upgrade certs and Fairmont Platinum status. Additionally, they offer complimentary bicycles, which is our favorite way to explore a city. The bikes would be our main reason to choose this hotel. (yes, we are millenials), but we also have great memories at many Fairmonts in Canada.
That being said, the value proposition is hard to beat: - you can upgrade from a Fairmont room to a very spacious, newly renovated one-bedroom suite using a suite upgrade cert AND - all guests staying in a suite get access to the lounge (which includes a very good breakfast buffet, snacks throughout the day and a decent buffet and free drinks at night) |
There's news surrounding the case of The Patina, Singapore:
Please see: http://www.straitstimes.com/business...sed-says-judge Now one wonders when The Patina will "ever" open, maybe it will...only time will tell...I guess. Equally I wonder how long The Patina will stay on as a member of LHW. At least for now there's no sign that they intend to open, not with such a "spat" between the partners going on right now, which is actually set to continue...in the courts that is.

Since many here visit Singapore frequently, how is Raffles now with the renovations? Should I avoid? Too many options, yet nothing quite solid.

I was there for 3 nights in March and couldn't even tell anything was shut. Phase two of the refurb does not begin until August, so I think you'd be fine.

Perfect! Thanks. Might try over Fullerton Bay Hotel, which has had some issues recently.
