Valentine's Day is approaching around the Corner, some couples may think of dropping ideas to go overseas now for a romantic getaway at Maldives, Phuket or Bali 5-star resorts, while looking at the current economic downturn. Save Money of course! But does that compromise young couples to spend their quality time with each other? Probably not for some.So save money to travel, then where to go then? Escapade from work or family and yet not overspend unnecessarily, cos you will never know if your job is at stake anytime. But, there is an option to stay away from the chaos without spending more than $200-300 for a couple and without travelling hassle!
Recently I browsed some hotel sites in Singapore just for fun (in fact, just a routine check at times). Perhaps the hotel chain starts to feel the pinch of the economic downturn effect and volume of tourists decreases over the past few months, many of such hotels have dropped their room rates slowly between 10-30%, while some offering some good deals even during peak season such as Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day, slashing the price as low as 50%.
In the past, even a no- star hotel can go as high as $180 per night in Singapore, such as during last year F1 Race in September last year. But now, you can find some great hotels here with a real good and hot deal!
Ok, which are the few that I found has started to giving some hot deals for the loving birds to spend their time right at homeland for Valentine's Day?
- Hilton Hotel in Orchard - S$203. This price includes 1 night stay with a choice of king or
double beds in deluxe room and free breadfast for 2. Come with broadband in room. With additional $50 or more, you can enjoy Executive floor room and butler services easily with some cocktail break to add on. This rate has never been that cheap for such international hotel chain before during the good old days. - Conrad Centennial Hotel in Suntec City - $194 for twin bed, $235 for Kind bed in a Classic Room. It also comes with free breakfast for 2. Broadband with a fee. Same here with additional $50 you can enjoy club facilities.
- Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel in Havelock - $204 for double or twin rooms and includes breakfast for 2.
- Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Marina Square - $228 for double or twin rooms and includes breakfast for 2.
There are many more other 5-Star hotels less than $250 per night such as Inter-Continental, Marina Mandarin and Pan Pacific that offer similar package and attract locals to generate their business revenues through such domestic spending, if tourist industry is not going to revive for the next few months, or even a year. Even you want to look for lower budget, there are many good bargain for 4 star rating hotels as well such as Changi Village hotel, Gallery Hotel, M hotel, Novotel Clark Quay or Le Meridien, etc. All less than $200 per night. Most of these offers extends till mid of 2009, so grab this bargain if you have some spare cash to spare to relax in your own homeland and yet, feel like going for a holiday! So many choices to choose from, I hope I have one romantic hotel stay this coming Valentine...
So where will it be? ;op
