Hotel staycation deals in Singapore
A year ago, none of us would’ve thought that our annual vacays to the likes of Europe and around Asia would have to be put on hold indefinitely. But Singaporeans aren’t the type to give up so easily. As the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
In this case, the “lemon” is Singapore, and the “lemonade” is the smorgasbord of local hotel staycation deals we can look forward to while confined to our homeland. To support the local tourism industry while taming those travel lusts, here are the deals you can take advantage of to feel like you’re globetrotting without the hassle of leaving Singapore shores.
Note: All rates are based on a 1-night weekday stay via Agoda at the time of publishing. Read till the end for additional GoLocal deals.
1. The Capitol Kempinski Hotel – luxurious European holiday

The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore hails from one of Europe’s oldest luxury hotel groups, so it’s not surprising that its facade resembles one of the many centuries-old buildings that line the streets of Milan and London.
