Tom Singapore Staycations post-Covid are finally going to resume soon! STB has finally released the list of approved hotels for Singapore Staycations! There are currently 18 approved hotels on the list but this list is certainly set to grow in the coming weeks. When Singapore headed into phase 2 of re-opening of the economy, many were wondering whether Singapore staycations would be on the cards. Unfortunately, when phase 2 commenced on 19 Jun 2020, hotel reservations were still not allowed for staycations in Singapore as yet. Thankfully, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) announced on Friday (3 July 2020) that hotels can resume Singapore staycations once again. The caveat? As long as safe management measures are in place.
What measures need to be in place before Singapore Staycation can resume?
Some of these safe measures include:
Essentially, measures have to be in place to avoid crowding or “bunching” from happening within the hotel. In addition, for hotels that are already utilised for COVID-19 related purposes, they will have to implement a form of segregation and let guests know that they are providing COVID-19 related accommodation.
According to Todayonline, STB will take approximately 14 days to assess these applications and should these hotels be approved, weekly data will have to be submitted to alert STB of COVID-19 cases.

Where should you go for Singapore Staycations Post COVID?
We’ve been to several staycations in Singapore and there are a few that remain fresh in our minds because of the “wow” factor that they possess. These hotels are:
1. Fullerton Hotel Singapore Staycation
Our Fullerton Hotel Singapore staycation was definitely one of the more memorable staycations we’ve head. With Fullerton, you’ll know you’ll be stepping into a rich heritage. At its ground floor, you’ll be able to learn about Fullerton’s history at its Fullerton Heritage Gallery where it was once the General Post Office of Singapore. Staying at the Straits Club Room, we were able to enjoy privileges at the Straits Club (Executive Club Lounge of Fullerton Hotel), including the famous traditional scones it serves up. Definitely not to be missed! A dip in the swimming pool that overlooks the Singapore River, rounds up a relaxing staycation here at the Fullerton Hotel Singapore.
