Raise your hand if you’re already looking forward to the many long weekends in 2021. Travelling overseas may be far off on the horizon, but staycations are the next best way to decompress.

The towering hotel sports an iconic red facade with lush foliage that makes it a standout amongst its neighbouring skyscrapers. Expect more amenities than your typical business hotel as well, like aqua spinning lessons and a spot for fancy high-tea.

The club lounge has a selection of complimentary snacks, barista-prepared coffee, and non-alcoholic refreshments available all day.

They have an exclusive set meal for those who booked the Weekend TWOgether staycation package, and can only be redeemed on Friday evenings.
It comprises quintessential Italian staples such as fresh mozzarella or a cold cut platter to whet your appetite, followed by prawn bisque soup, your choice of penne pasta, sea bass fillet or slow-roasted pork belly for the main, and a delectable dessert of either tiramisu or panna cotta to top it all off.
In aqua spinning, stationary bikes are submerged in a pool.

There’s nothing like finishing a good cardio session first thing in the morning, and going for an aqua spin class lets you mix your fitness routine up. Oasia Hotel Downtown hosts a weekly aqua spin class on Saturday mornings so you can burn off all your breakfast buffet calories, complete with an aerial view from the 27th-floor rooftop pool.
Aqua spinning is great for those with joint pains or are recovering from injuries as it’s a low-impact exercise, and the constant movement of water also prevents muscle soreness by ‘massaging’ your legs.
Each class is complimentary with the hotel’s Weekend TWOgether staycation booking, with limited slots available on a first come first serve basis. Classes start from 9.30AM every Saturday and will last one hour. There are only five slots available each session, so be sure to secure your aqua bike early.

Those who want to channel their inner energies can choose to participate in the hotel’s free yoga classes as well. Every Sunday morning, instructors from Freedom Yoga will take you through an hour-long yoga session at the Sky Terrace on the 12th floor, so you can calm your mind and ready yourself for the next rejuvenating workout.
Slots are limited on a first come first serve basis, so register early. Yoga mats will also be provided so you don’t have to pack more than necessary.

What’s a staycation without lounging by the pool? Oasia Hotel Downtown has two outdoor pools on the 27th floor – one is more shaded for lounging, while the other has a panoramic view of Tanjong Pagar so you can watch the hustle and bustle go by.
The surrounds of the pools are also decorated with 21 varieties of creepers and vines that will have a different look at various times of the day and year, adding to the hotel’s lush facade.
There is also a more exclusive infinity pool on the 21st floor for guests who book the Weekend TWOgether staycation. It has more shade than the common pools, making it perfect for those who just want to chill by the water with a book in hand without the sun in their eyes.

You’ve got to refuel at some point in time during your staycation, and The Marmalade Pantry on the first floor of the hotel is the perfect spot to have afternoon high tea with your BFF.
Oasia Hotel Downtown’s Weekend TWOgether staycation package is inclusive of their High Tea Set for two, and comes with an assortment of sweet and savoury treats.
Those with a sweet tooth will also love the selection of scones and cakes that will finish off your tête-à-tête on a high note. Free-flow artisanal tea from local brand, Monogram, will be included in the set to complete the whole experience as you clink your cups, pinkies up.

One of the best parts of any staycation is flopping down on your bed after a long day of eating, drinking and partaking in activities.
The comfy king-sized bed of Oasia Hotel Downtown’s spacious Club Rooms will ensure a quality night’s snooze. And you won’t have to worry about waking up at the crack of dawn, as the hotel offers complimentary late check-out. You can also opt for early check-in instead, to start your staycay adventure early.
Besides the standard amenities like a television and mini-fridge, all rooms also have a bathtub for a warm, relaxing soak. There is also a convenient bench for your luggage or weekender bags just by the bed, so you don’t have to worry about chucking them on the floor.
