Singapore Staycation Weekend Family Package at Traders Hotel, Shangri-La Hotels group

 

A weekend Staycation reservation at Traders Hotel Singapore was planned for National Day and birthday celebration indulgence. The Traders Hotel room check-in was a breeze with the innovative digital environment friendly paperless process.



Traders Hotel Hotel Jen Singapore Night View.

We were given a warm welcome and to our surprise, Traders Hotel presented us with freshly made chocolate, a plate of fresh fruits, mini chocolate bars snack packs for the two kids and decorated the studio apartment with 'Happy Birthday' banner and colourful balloons!

 

Contemporary designed, Traders Hotel’s 50-square-metre apartments consist of a kitchenette with a full-sized fridge, microwave oven, toaster, kettle, crockery and utensils, complete with an adjoining bar counter and dining table.

 

A full size executive desk with lush greenery views, sofa and flat screen television with extensive  cable channels from HBO to Cartoon Networks and two extra beds for the children are prepared in the living room.

 

 

Slide open the panelled wooden door to enter the bedroom with floor to ceiling windows, separate dressing table and another television set, providing privacy for parents when the kids are asleep. Room amenities include plush bath robes, bedroom slippers, hotel safe, iron and hair dryer.

 

The marbled bathroom consists of bath tub, large mirror and a generous supply of bath and body toiletries.

 

Just as we finished unpacking our luggage, the doorbell rang. The kids were surprised as they were not expecting anyone as we were at Traders Hotel for a staycation.

 

We opened the door and were greeted by Traders Hotel Café Biz Restaurant staff who delivered Sweet surprises - a gorgeous Happy Birthday blackforest chocolate cake with cute cupcakes  and pretty cake pops in a bowl of m&m chocolates and jelly beans! 

 

Traders Hotel impeccable service and attentiveness is impressive, as always.

Chicken satay, barbeque ribs, smoked salmon, fresh fruits and juices,  assortment of cakes, cheese and  chocolates and vegetarian selection are some of the delicious refreshments available. Sip from the fine selection of whiskey, brandy, vodka or have enjoy a cocktail as you watch sunset in the city.

 

The kids loved the satay, nachos with cheese, salsa, guacamole dips and the hot chocolate while the superb cheese selection and fruits paired with Dilmah luxury tea was our favourite.

 

Another perk for Traders Hotel staycation package is that two kids can dine for free at  either Ah Hoi’s Kitchen or Cafebiz. 

 

Traders Hotel Cafebiz celebrated Singapore 49th birthday with Peranakan décor, Tingket Tiffin carriers and an amazing spread of  49 Singapore local dishes for the month of August. Singapore Chilli crabs, Hainanese Chicken rice, Singapore Laksa, Hokkien noodles, braised pork knuckles, Indian rojak, fried oyster, soup kambing, pandan chiffon cake, devils curry are some of Singaporeans' favourite food choices.

 

There was also a selection of Japanese cuisine like sashimi, tuna, fresh crabs, prawns, whole salmon fish, seafood clams, mussels, jellyfish,  California Maki sushi and fresh soba.

 

The dessert table is a beautiful rainbow hued sweet selection with local kuehs, delicious cakes, pastries, fruit tarts, chocolate fountain with cake pops, marshmallows, fruits, ice kachang shaved ice, chendol, goreng pisang, mango sago and ice cream flavours like coconut, mango, chocolate and strawberry.

We liked Cafe biz buffet restaurant's Singapore signature chilli crabs with fried Mantou, the wide variety of local food and live stations where chefs prepare Kueh pie tee, satay, otah, wanton noodles, chicken rice and fried kway teow.

 

Traders Hotel is conveniently connected to Tanglin Mall,  a one-stop lifestyle mall  with Tanglin Market Place gourmet supermarket with bakery and Tasty Food Court. We stopped by for a walk before proceeding back to Traders Hotel swimming pool to enjoy the natural night breeze.

 

The evening was spent relaxing in our comfortable Traders Hotel suite apartment. The kids watching cartoon network on the two extra beds in the living room and the parents reading electronic news and magazines via Pressreader app, downloaded using the free hotel Wi-Fi in the bedroom.

 

 

After a good night's sleep on the super comfortable Traders Hotel king size bed  with fluffy pillows, we were energized for a workout at the hotel gym, swimming in the beautiful pool on level four or perhaps a relaxing massage at the hotel’s spa later on the day.

 

Traders hotel club lounge with its panorama city garden views sets the lovely Sunday mood brightly.

 

 

Complimentary buffet breakfast are provided as part of the weekend staycation family package. Fresh omelette, sunny side ups, back bacon, sausages, hash brown, waffles, pancakes, grilled tomatoes, cold cuts, cheese, fruits, vegetarian selection, yogurt, muesli, raspberries mix fruits are some of the tasty choices to start the day.

 

At Traders Hotel Jen Singapore swimming pool, there are weekend kids activities like water polo games, tug-of-war and marble hunt from 10 a.m. to noon.

 

 

After an indulgence weekend staycation at Traders Hotel Singapore, we checked out at Traders Club Floor and heeded the advice of the friendly front office staff to hop on to the Hotel shuttle bus to Orchard Road for some shopping.

Thank you Traders Hotel Singapore for the warm hospitality.
