Staycation Ideas in Singapore – 9 Boutique Hotels To Fall In Love With

Every once in a while, we crave a respite from the day-to-day work grind that can eventually get to us. But unfortunately, not all of us have the luxury of time or money to jet off to the white sandy beaches of Bali, or to the clear blue waters of the Maldives.

But it is not the end of the world! There are cheaper options, and that is taking a holiday within your own country. For our Singaporean friends, these 9 Boutique Hotels In Singapore Are Great For A Quick Getaway!

Boutique hotels, however, are not to be confused with ordinary hotels. A more no-frills option, boutique hotels do without the usual fancy hotel details. They are more personalised, with one-of-a-kind concepts and designs that differ from that of the usual big hotel names you can find out there.
