I like staycations. \u00a0They are like mini vacations, though still on home soil. \u00a0But getting away from the familiar home\/room settings makes it feel very much like a weekend getaway to some hotel overseas.<\/p>\n

So far, I’ve only went for chain hotels’ staycations, mainly the AccorHotel chain, simply because I was their platinum member back then. But now that I was being “downgraded” to just classic member, I can just give up on their privileges and go for those boutique hotels which offer more interesting and quirky rooms.<\/p>\n

My previous 2-weeks stay (not really a staycation but really a two-weeks stay due to my home’s renovation) at Hotel Clover The Arts<\/a> was really a lovely stay. \u00a0It was super small, yes, but just nice for just myself. \u00a0I washed my working clothes by hand and hang them in the toilet to dry, and there’s also a small space for me to put my laptop if I needed to work or surf net (while not on mobile). The bed was awesome, and no windows in the room means I have no natural light and I can sleep like a log with the lights off, regardless of what time it was in the day. \u00a0The only con I could think of was that there were days I wanted to go out, only to find that it was raining and I had to head back to my room to grab my umbrella. \u00a0Other than that, the room itself was great, the breakfast included daily was awesome and filling, location was perfect (I walked to and fro from work everyday).<\/p>\n

I fell in love with boutique hotels since then. \u00a0This upcoming New Year eve staycation, I’m also looking at another boutique hotel. \u00a0Not gonna reveal the name here, as Bear would read it! \u00a0I want to give him a small surprise. \u00a0=)<\/p>\n

But there’s a list of boutique hotels in Singapore that I wanna try at some point. Since my overseas holidays have been reduced to just one per year, maybe I will just arrange for more staycations then! \u00a0=P<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
