InterContinental Singapore Bugis - FREE Upgrade Deluxe Room King With Bathtub | Breakfast Included
InterContinental Singapore Bugis - FREE Upgrade Deluxe Room King With Bathtub | Breakfast Included
WILL: Our holiday booking was cancelled and moved to Hearts’ day, but Ash Harris of Holiday Inn Express gave us a news.. they still can’t accommodate us but helped us to move our reservation to their sister company, the InterContinental Singapore. Whew! That is an automatic upgrade of a HOTEL!
InterContinental is adjacent to Bugis Plus Mall and it is quite convenient for people who love to shop. We were greeted gleefully by the concierge. The check-in process only took us around 15 minutes and informed us of room upgrade! From Heritage Room to Deluxe Room! Yeyyyy!!! We were reminded of SGD10k penalty if we breached the “hotel visitor regulation”.
The Deluxe Room is clean. Well it should be. InterContinental is one of the prestigious hotel chains in the world. Hehe. Bathroom has separate bathtub that have this classic faucet design. They are serving TWG tea and French press coffee. Their bed is explicitly soft and relaxing. The carpet design is so cool, I mean cool in a sense that the color gives somewhat calmness.
Of course there is mandatory check-in when entering their premises and facilities. Before heading to the gym, pool or even for your free breakfast, please book it. Gym is huge! There's space for all! Haha! Pool is not an infinity pool and many hotel guests prefer the shaded jacuzzi. Breakfast is a set menu but Ash and Elm waitress is so accommodating and advised us that we can mix their fresh fruit juices on our convenience. The beetroot juice is awesome!
I am surprised when saw the flock of people at the lobby. I thought it might take us half-hour for checking out. But I am wrong. It didn’t even take us 5 minutes because of their express check-out program.
Even the hotel is next to a mall and busy shopping street, you will feel well tucked-up for a relaxation. Again, thank you Ash for the hotel upgrade. Thank you so much InterContinental for warm staffs, free room upgrade and of course how can we forget the free macarons and chocolates!

InterContinental Singapore: 5-Star Luxury Heritage Hotel
Capella Singapore - Sentosa Hotel & Resorts in Singapore | FREE Constellation Room
WILL: Good hotels are not always at Marina Bay Area surrounded by skyscrapers of Singapore some “greater” ones are located at luscious greeneries of the Sentosa island and one of those is the LUXURY 5-STAR Hotel and Resort, CAPELLA.
How do I found out about Capella? When Horst Schulze (the founder of Ritz Carlton Hotels) talk about Capella’s service and said it is better than Ritz. Well, who will not be enticed on that no holds barred description? Immediately Capella is on our bucket list. To add up a reason why Capella is to check out the emblem of President Trump and North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un. That’s a history!
Another reason? Price wise? They are offering almost the same rate BUT with ala-carte buffet breakfast, $100 dining voucher, free high tea, complimentary fruit basket, free to consume juices and cola on your fridge and a curated activities not only for couple but for the whole family. Ladies and gentlemen please let the Culturist Team know your preferences on activities you want them to book for you. It is like you have your own butler right? Oh! Don’t worry about how to go to the hotel, they also have a complimentary shuttle from Harbourfront station.
We were greeted with a smile when we arrived the hotel. Done the Trace Together check-in and temperature checking, we signed some papers at the reception and after few minutes one of Culturist came with us to to acquaint us to our room.
Our room? I booked for Premier Seaview King Bed Room for $828.00 BUT we were upgraded to Constellation Room. That FREE upgrade almost doubled the amount of our paid room reservation. Woootwoooot! We didn’t shy off to show our excitement and gratefulness to our Culturist.
The Constellation Room is one of the sexiest/romantic room in Singapore and now I know why. Haha! Let’s describe the room. Capella only have 4 Constellation Rooms. They are at the top of the building, so you can consider it as their “penthouse” room. So sosyal and ATAS! Their blinds and curtains can be commanded by a click at their Touch Panel. Forget the Do Not Disturb and Make Up My Room paper signage can also be found in the control panel. The Sealy bed is not so soft nor too hard. It is indeed a comfort. Rivolta Carmignani Linens which can only be found at top notch hotels! What do you expect? Capella has it! The 4 pillows at the bed is firm enough to my preferences.
Each room has it’s own bathtub and balcony provided with the room view you have chosen but Constellation Room comes with a your own private Jacuzzi Hot Tub! Imagine soaking at a relaxing hot tub overlooking the Palawan Beach! This is indeed feels like a royal.
Capella really do take it personally haha! As I requested, they provided my husband a cake and balloons for his birthday. When I asked for the price, they gladly to informed me that it is on the house! What a delight! Abbey and I opted to have in-room dining instead of going to either Bob’s Bar or The Knolls.
Abbey had a steak and I indulge on my paneer. It is a feast of flavour and the mushroom soup soothes as an appetiser.
Food service and room service men do not roam around their eyes around the room. They are always looking down or directly to the man they are talking. That is a good point. A sign that staffs are not nosy. Haha.
The pools. There are adults only, family pool and lap pool. In adults pool, they can totally enjoy the water with serenity of nature and chirping birds. While in the family pool you can play around using floaters. Of course in the lap pool, you can enjoy your swim without any interruptions.
I am surprised to the sweet taste of their oatmeal prodidge, ordered thrice of their prawn dumpling and delighted on their not too strong ginger lemon tea. That’s all I liked at their a la carte buffet breakfast.
Unwind at The Living Room with their books together with a plate of sweets and a cup of tea or coffee.
Thank you so much Capella not only for the upgrade, complimentary cake and balloon but most importantly you make us feel special.
Capella is truly a 5-Star Hotel. Staying at this hotel resort is a luxurious experience for me and my hubby. We will never forget this stay! Hope to see you again!
