In light of our hectic, mundane 9-to-5 work lives, often we find ourselves yearning to jet off for a vacation. A beach holiday in Bali perhaps, or even a romantic European tour with our other half. Sadly, there are times when a proper holiday just isn’t possible either due to overly exorbitant airfares or the sheer amount of work we have on our hands.

The next great thing, although it might sound like a bummer, is having a staycation in Singapore itself, and one that promises both comfort and exceptional service is the Oasia group of hotels and serviced residences.

Every Oasia property provides a restorative respite from your day-to-day responsibilities without taking you too far away from everything the beautiful lion city has to offer. Read on to discover your next holiday within Singapore.

So what is it like to stay in one of the highly acclaimed hotels in the Marina Bay area?

Pan Pacific Singapore has an unobstructed view of the Singapore skyline, and its club lounge is the best in Singapore – that’s what it is. But more than that, the hotel is one modern property that feels exactly like home.

We have every reason for you to book a stay. Celebrate Pan Pacific Singapore’s 30th Anniversary this year and you are in for exclusive privileges.

Pan Pacific Singapore’s 30th Anniversary Staycation Package includes complimentary daily breakfast at Edge – the award-winning buffet restaurant. On top of that, you also receive SGD30 Food and Beverage credit*, SGD30 savings on spa treatments at St. Gregory Spa and more.

It is quite a package they have there as you can see, and wouldn’t you want to call the Marina Bay your home for a day with these perks?

BREAKFAST AT EDGE RESTAURANT

Edge Restaurant, a theatrical and interactive dining space with seven ‘live’ food theatres, is one of the best buffet restaurants in Singapore. And needless to say, the breakfast buffet is one of the main reasons why we enjoy staying at Pan Pacific Singapore.

The luxurious spread is the best morning call. Well, sort of. No matter how comfy the bed is, we always have to peel ourselves off just to have our round at Edge. The eclectic mix of Asian and Western fare means something for everyone. From Indian to Chinese to Japanese stations, the selection of continental breakfast makes us go weak in the knees.

There is also a fresh waffles station, as well as a juice bar – all included in the breakfast buffet! Now, that’s something worth waking up for.

MAGNIFICENT VIEW OF SINGAPORE’S SKYLINE

We love waking up to the magnificent and unobstructed view of Singapore’s skyline. Our Home is so beautiful, and we could just sit by the windows all day to admire the skyscrapers, bridges and structures that surround the Singapore River.

Needless to say, Pan Pacific Singapore is also one of the best hotels in the area to catch the annual F1 Grand Prix race, as well as seasonal fireworks that light up our city.

PACIFIC CLUB BENEFITS – COMPLIMENTARY CHAMPAGNE BREAKFAST, AFTERNOON TEA, EVENING COCKTAILS

We’ve always talked about the benefits of staying in a hotel’s club floor, and having been to most of the hotel club lounges in Singapore, we have to say that the Pacific Club at Pan Pacific Singapore is totally the nicest and most luxurious.

It occupies the former space of Hai Tien Lo and sits on the 38th level of the hotel, offering a splendid 360° view of Singapore from up above.

The Pacific Club privileges include champagne breakfast, afternoon tea, evening cocktails and canapés, 24-hour club service, late check-out and complimentary non-alcoholic beverages from the in-room mini bar. And by the way, that ‘evening cocktails’ you just read means UNLIMITED champagne and alcoholic drinks. We are dead serious about this. It is as good as it can get.

PROXIMITY TO MARINA SQUARE, MILLENIA WALK AND SUNTEC CITY

With its strategic location, Pan Pacific is of close proximity to several big shopping malls in the area. These include Marina Square, Millenia Walk and Suntec City.

Shopping made easy, dining out made easy; well basically, you have everything you would possibly need within reach. There are movie theatres, gyms and KTV studios in those malls too.

DINING OPTIONS APLENTY – EDGE, HAI TIEN LO, PACIFIC MARKETPLACE, ATRIUM AND KEYAKI

Alternatively, if you choose to just rest in the hotel – which is what a staycation is all about – you can be assured that there are no lack of dining options at Pan Pacific Singapore.

A stalwart in the local dining scene, Hai Tien Lo sets high standards for quality Cantonese cuisine. We never say no to a good sum meal at Hai Tien Lo, and its consistency is what we seek comfort in.

If you have a taste for Japanese food, Keyaki is a quiet and cosy outlet that sits within a Japanese garden on the fourth level of the property. Its fine Japanese menu includes sushi and sashimi, teppanyaki and sukiyaki.

The Atrium is where you can indulge in your chichi activities like English Afternoon Tea. They’ve got pretty value-for-money three-tiered tea sets, and there are booth seats that sit atop a reflective pool for all the privacy and space you would need.

We are also particularly fond of Pacific Marketplace, our secret hideout in the Marina Bay area. The homely space is wonderful for a quiet meal and makes a great work space, and it has a new Asian Delights menu which features popular Asian dishes such as Roasted Duck Curry, Klang Bak Ku Teh and Hainanese Chicken Rice.

PAN PACIFIC SINGAPORE’S 30TH ANNIVERSARY STAYCATION PACKAGE

Tempted already? That’s why we said you have to book the Pan Pacific Singapore 30th Anniversary Staycation Package which includes the following exclusive perks:

- Complimentary daily breakfast at Edge for up to two persons
- Food and Beverage credit of SGD30 per stay redeemable at Edge, Hai Tien Lo, Keyaki, Atrium, Pacific Marketplace and Poolside
