If you want an authentic experience on your staycation in Singapore, you should absolutely consider boutique hotels. They may not be as famous as all the chain hotels in Singapore, but it doesn’t mean that their quality is low. In fact, they are the best place where you can feel the most authentic Singapore!
There are several points that make a boutique hotel. First of all, it is often not that big. The number of rooms inside are not that many, maybe around 100 rooms or even less. The setting will offer more intimacy (since it is not that big). Plus, the design and the decoration are often very unique–more unique than the regular hotel.
At first, a boutique hotel may be destined for middle-class travelers, budget-wise it can accommodate the needs of the tourist. But as time goes by, boutique hotels upgrade themselves and start to create an exclusive image, to grab the remaining market and compete with common hotels which have established their image continuously.
Lucky for us, Singapore has so many best boutique hotels. Let’s take a look!
A boutique hotel in Singapore resonates with its multicultural people and vibrant districts that are spreading all over the country. The contemporary hotel can be the best substitute to hotel chains, especially in the visual appearance.
Other than hotels that will be explained later, you can always check for more references at Traveloka. Want an affordable one? Find cheap hotels in Singapore to get the price that you want.
