Stay-cation ( M hotel)
Hi guys, how's your weekend spent? Mine was all well-packed with my man. As good things come after next, bf surprised me on a stay-cation this weekend to celebrate my graduation. It wasn't a really surprise as this was all planned when he was at Thailand training. A never expected conversation when he suddenly whatapps me a few hotels to let me to choose from and also assured me that this plan will be made when he is back from his camp. Of course, I let him decide what hotel he wants (although he asked me to choose). In the end, based on all the reviews that he scrolled through, he chose M hotel.
M Hotel is under the umbrella of Millennium Hotels. Millennium Hotels are usually situated in prominent business location around the world. In Singapore, M hotel is located in the heart of Financial District and it is within walking distance from Tanjong Pagar MRT station. It is more of a business hotel than a leisure travelers hotel.
I was really elated and jumping for joy to be able to stay in Singapore hotel once again. The previous stay-cation was at Studio M ( and yes both hotels are under the umbrella of Millennium Hotels). I really think bf did a good job in researching.
The check in for the hotel is at 2pm but we went in earlier for our check in because both of us were so famished especially the boy who just booked out on a sat morning. I really have to thanks him for rushing down after his book out. When all procedures had done, we quickly went up to 26 storey to explore our room.
I really like the interior design of the room, so spacious enough. I can't remembered if bf booked the superior or the deluxe room but the room could really fit in 10 person. So much love for the toilet because the toilet has 2 separate washing areas. You get to choose either a long soak in the huge Jacuzzi or let the rainforest-style shower massage your back. The first thing when I went into the room was to check on the bathroom and simply exclaimed when I see a bath-tub. HAHA.
The bed was a queen sized bed. Pillows were firm and the bed was very comfortable. Not too soft, not too hard. The bed supported my back very well. Too cosy once you lay down on it, you can fall into a deep sleep.
The room has a very lovely work area. I believe M hotel hosts a lot of business travellers, so the hotel is very businessman(and woman)-friendly. Having said that, I think it makes a great leisure traveller hotel too. There's a free wifi in the room so the business travellers could actually do their work in the hotel room.
The drawer by the desk houses the safe, by the way. There's a arm chair and at the same time a good scenery to relax and chill.
Open it up and laid flat inside is an iron and ironing board. For those wrinkled shirts and pants taken out of the suitcase.
Some selflessly photos of us. I was in the mid of preparing to put on the timer and clicked it by accident so as you can see his expression, he wasn't prepared yet.
First round of self-timer: FAILED. Half of my face was chopped off and left with my big thigh. But oh well, it was well taken so I decided to put it up just for laugh.
Second self-timer: EXCELLENT. Perfectly fit my whole body in. But bf really deserve a big kick, where is he looking at when the timer was on? ): But JI YOU FEEL LEH even when he is not looking at the camera. HAHA.
Hungry us, almost dying of hunger, we went to explore Tanjong Pagar area and at the same time to find somewhere to have a light lunch. Walked all the way to AMARA hotel where there is shopping malls located within the vicinity. Sat down at Imperial treasure for some egg tart and polo bread and chillax on their cafe seats. I died a little when I drink their iced milk tea because it was so bitter then I realised I forgot to add in the sugar syrup.
After a good lunch, we headed back to the hotel to explore the whole area. The excitement gotten me when I saw swimming pool and GYM. HAHA, one good reason to get myself fit on a weekend. I mean you shouldn't slacken away because you are away from your hometown.
The thing about hotel facilities is that nobody actually use it. When I went to the pool area, there was nobody except the both of us. Yeah! If you find the Jacuzzi in the room too small, you can actually soak yourself in this 2 person Jacuzz.
The first few level has its own purposes. There's like a bar in the hotel which opens after 6pm. Ladies night will be entitled to a free drink on Wednesday night. And special discounts on the weekday basis.
A grand ballroom to hold a banquet or wedding dinner. There's two restaurant that cater buffet but bf and I did not try their food because it was too expensive, could just burnt our holes.
Back to the room to relax before we head out for our dinner at clarke quay where I will be posting it soon (:
Service at The M hotel is generally very good. Everything is so well-organised and clean. We really enjoyed our stay here, and wished we could have had more time here. It's definitely one of my favourites now for staycations.
Stay tune for the next two posts about where we had our dinner and Sunday Brunch.
Till then.
