Since the pandemic hit, staycations have seemingly taken over as our only form of travel. Even though Singapore formed travel bubbles with a few countries, a lot of us are probably more comfortable with the idea of staying in the country at a different postal code, where it’s easier to monitor and control our own exposure to the ongoing pandemic.
While staycations seem to always offer the same sort of itinerary, some hotels have taken to refreshing their packages to provide an alternative staycation experience that resonates best with locals. In addition to enjoying the perks of being a tourist in your own country, here are 6 hotels that hope to complete your weekend getaway with an exciting foodie adventure.
