Six Senses Maxwell which officially opened for business on 1 December 2018 is poised to seduce the sophisticated and well-heeled with its finger on the pulse of upscale accommodation. Evidently no expense was spared in giving the four storey property (comprising a cluster of heritage buildings in the prime central business district) a splashy reimagining spearheaded by revered designer Jacques Garcia, resulting in one dreamy palatial extravagance that scintillates as much as it mystifies.

Pretty steep rates but I guess that's what you would pay for sophisticated and well-heeled upscale accommodation :moneyflies:

Hipstercity which operates out of a four storey shop house strategically sited on the fringes of Clarke Quay's bustling nightlife district has no doubt rewritten the playbook of plain vanilla hostel accommodation with unabashed inventiveness. From conceptualization to realization a steadfast conviction to define the communal lodging experience on its own terms held sway, hence living spaces swirling in swanky chic yet subsisting on the reflective-with meticulous, endearing staff to match.

Hotel booking sites were misleading users. They've agreed to change


Searching for a hotel room online might soon get a little more transparent, at least for UK consumers.
Major travel websites including Trivago (TRVG), Expedia (EXPE), Agoda and Booking.com have agreed to change the way they do business after a UK investigation found some of them were deceiving users about hotel room prices and search results.

The UK Competition and Markets Authority on Wednesday announced the results of its probe, which focused on issues such as pressure selling, misleading discount claims and hidden charges.

The regulator said that some buyers were warned that other users were looking at the same hotel, giving them a \"false impression\" of a room's popularity. In other cases, the full cost of the room was not displayed.

While not all of the platforms engaged in each of the unfair practices, they have now agreed to follow a common set of guidelines.

The companies have pledged to display all charges including taxes and refrain from pressure selling. They will be clearer about discounts and only promote deals that are really available at that time.

I was surfing for some hotels

Capella Sentosa charged 1k per night !?!

I would prefer staying at home

I would too. If the staycation is so expensive, I would just save the money for an overseas holiday.

Yes. I agree…the amount for staycation is almost same as short trip. But the good point is safe in Singapore…

The Changi Village Hotel offers a pretty good deal too. In the day time, you can take a boat ride over to Pualu Ubin.
