10 Year-End Staycation Deals For All Budgets

Looking to escape the year that was, but don’t know where to go? We’ve compiled the 10 best hotel staycation packages for your year-end getaway.

With COVID-19 continuing to rage around the world, travel plans remain depressingly muted. A staycation at a local hotel remains your best choice to scratch that travel itch. 

Luckily, Singapore’s status as a popular holiday destination has left us with no lack of hotels to choose from. Between boutique hotels, heritage properties, luxury chains and everything in between, there’s a staycation package for every budget. 

We’ve picked out the 10 best staycation packages, ideal for your year-end getaway to bid goodbye to 2020.

Staycation deals for $150/night 

YotelAir Changi Airport

Address: 78 Airport Blvd, #04 - 280, Singapore 819666
Email: singaporechangi.reservations@yotel.com
Contact number: 6407 7888

If you’ve been missing the airport (us too!), a staycation at YotelAir Changi Airport may be just what you need. For just $144 per night, you’ll get a Premium Queen Room. A tad small at 10sqm, the room is still cosy and comfortable, thanks to some clever design touches (you’ll love the downlights that imbue the entire room with a lovely neon glow in the chain’s trademark purple). 

Completing the experience are high-quality bedding and fittings such as a smart HD TV, but our favourite has to be the smart bed that adjusts itself from prone to sitting-up positions at the touch of a button (talk about R&R). 

The hotel is actually situated in Jewel Changi, so you’ll have easy access to plenty of great F&B options. Plus, your room also comes with free tickets to the Canopy Park and Canopy Bridge (alongside other perks), which you can check out in between your shopping and cafe hopping sprees. 

The Sultan

Address: 101 Jalan Sultan #01-01 Singapore 199002
Email: info@thesultan.com.sg

For a quaint staycation, try booking a stay at The Sultan. Located in the heart of the Kampong Glam district, the heritage hotel offers iconic rooms restored from early 1900s shophouses, providing an immersive experience that may just ease that wanderlust for a bit. 

The Sultan Room (at $152 per night) is recommended for its intuitive and organic design, creating the perfect environment to lounge in comfort as you enjoy the hotel’s signature breakfast-in-bed. You’ll also enjoy special offers for an Instagram walk of the greater Bugis area or a bike and bite tour in the East Coast — fabulous ways to explore two of Singapore’s most historic enclaves. 

Oh, and don’t forget to book directly with the hotel to enjoy either a free room upgrade or a late checkout at 6pm.

How to save even more on your staycation

Hotel staycation packages offer great value but that doesn't mean you can’t save even more. Here are some tips to help you stretch your staycation budget even further.

Book non-peak days

Some staycation packages are offered on a fixed rate, while others are priced according to the day of your stay. To get the best possible price, try booking non-peak days for your stay. That means avoiding weekends, public holidays and the New Year period.

Use credit cards

Since staycations can cost a few hundreds, they are ideal for racking up credit card perks such as points or air miles, or fulfilling minimum spend for cashback cards. Be sure to choose the right credit card to pay with for maximum benefits. One great card is the DBS Altitude Card, which gives you 3 miles per dollar for online hotel bookings. 

Sign up for memberships and newsletters

Many hotel chains offer their own membership programmes and mailing lists. If you’re new, be sure to sign up for their memberships or newsletters to unlock instant discounts. Hotel memberships will also let you earn points, which you can use to redeem free nights and other perks for future stays.
