Arguably one of the best ways to unwind from a hectic work schedule, many Singaporeans would take time off work to immerse themselves in a relaxing staycation at one of Singapore’s many superb hotels. But after awhile, you may find yourself back at the same hotel which then begs the question if you should look for alternative spaces for your personal retreat.
