St Regis Singapore

Initially, we wanted to plan an anniversary staycation at Sentosa, where we got married. But the hotel room prices had gone up too much when we were doing our last minute booking. So, KB reserved a room at St Regis instead, because he gets corporate rate and he's a SPG (Starwood Preferred Guest) member.

For all the other hotels I've visited so far, all the check-in receptions have standing counters. At St Regis, it was my first experience of a seated check-in. We actually arrived at the hotel earlier than the usual check-in time, but I guess the room was available so the hotel gave us the room keys. There doesn't seem to be many guests at the hotel, probably because it's weekday, in between Christmas and New Year.




KB's SPG Gold membership upgraded us to Grand Deluxe Room from the Executive Deluxe Room. The room is very bright and we didn't bother about the lights. It was only at night, then we started to figure out the different lighting modes. The membership also gave us a late check-out at 4pm.



Here's the view of the town from our room on the 15th floor. It's quite a pity that I could only see the sky when I'm sitting on the sofa at the window, because the bottom half of the window is blocked by a piece of perforated metal on the outside.


The mini pantry includes complimentary TWG tea.




There's a small television screen in the mirror to provide entertainment, while soaking in the bathtub.




Knowing that it was our first time here at Remède Spa, the staffs gave us a tour of the spa facilities. At the ladies' section, there wasn't any other guest there, so I had the whole place to myself.


After enjoying our spa, a hotel staff brought a fruit cake, brewed tea and coffee to the room for our celebration.


Online magazines in the PressReader app are provided complimentary by St Regis, as long as they are downloaded using the hotel's WiFi. This kept me busy browsing and downloading magazines, so that I can read them after dinner. For once, I had no time for iPad games!
