After a long week with way too many OT sessions in the office, you’re probably praying for the weekend to arrive ASAP. Instead of spending it like a couch potato hooked on Netflix as per usual, treat yourself to a luxurious staycation as a little reward.
To take it up a notch, live out your tai tai dreams by booking a hotel that offers club lounge perks like free buffets, cocktails, canapes, and VIP check-in. While these are usually reserved for people who book up rooms of a certain tier – usually at sky-high prices – we’ve singled out some relatively affordable ones at below $280/night.
Orchard Rendezvous Hotel’s Club Lounge

Only opened to those above 18 years old, Orchard Rendezvous Hotel’s Club Lounge offers the perfect chance to get some quality time with your boo. You’ll get to enjoy a couple of canapes when the sun sets – sans the stress of being around hyper little ones.
Here, you’ll also get to munch on complimentary breakfast, as well as delicate pastries and sinful prata from 12PM-5PM.

To top it off, you can get 2 pieces of laundry settled each day.
