Located right smack in the center of Orchard Road, Pullman Singapore Orchard blends modern luxury with a vibrant, forward-looking energy. The hotel is perfectly positioned for travelers who want to be in the center of Singapore’s premier shopping district yet still enjoy a sense of calm once inside as the main entrance does not face Orchard Road per se.

Prior to this stay, I had not stepped foot into Pullman Singapore Orchard. The last time I was there was during its past incarnation as Grand Park Orchard and I could not be more astounded by the renovation that took place. From the moment I stepped foot into the lobby, I was struck by the sleek and contemporary design — a mix of bold art, polished finishes and neon lights that gives the property a distinctly upscale but cosmopolitan feel. All throughout, Pullman’s heritage in train travel is still evident through subtle elements, such as in the lounge area, ceiling of Eden Restaurant and the headboards in the guestrooms.  My stay here was a weekend escape to unwind and explore the Pullman Express package, this being my first stay in this property.

Officially known as Pullman Express – Singapore Unlocked, the staycation package comes with the following inclusions:

• Upgrade to a Deluxe Premier Room
• Breakfast in bed (guests can also choose to have breakfast in Eden)
• Early check-in at 10 am and late check-out at 2 pm
• An “Unplugged Hour” ritual kit consisting of workbooks centered around wellness and reflection
• In-room fitness kit
• 2 mocktails at Atelier Lounge & Bar
• SGD 100 dining credits at Eden Restaurant, Atelier Lounge & Bar or P.S.O. Beach Club
• Sleep Well kit consisting of skincare masks and sleep spray
• In-room Northern Lights projection
• Mindful walking map
• 1 Complimentary parking per stay

The Scarlet Singapore in Erskine Road caused quite a stir when it opened back in 2004. Until then, the Lion City had only one other boutique hotel and The Scarlet was the only one classified under the luxury category. With its 80 rooms housed in a series of pre-war shophouses in Singapore’s Chinatown, the property offered a breath of fresh air against the prevailing steel and glass high rises that housed the bulk of the city’s hotels.

The hotel currently has a Party @ Scarlet staycation package. The package comes with additional amenities such as bottles of wine in the room along with standard inclusions such as free minibar. For suite bookings, the additional amenities include 3 bottles of wine while non-suite rooms get a single bottle.
