by web directory on May.01, 2009, under Travel
For the past few years, room rates for hotels in singapore has been rising, some hotels charging as high as a few hundred percent over the room tariffs seen in 2002-2005.
Many visitors wanting to visit Singapore has put a hold on their trip. Business travelers especially, have postponed their trips to Singapore because of the high hotel room rates.
With the recent newly added hotels, and also the economic downturn, prices are seen dropping from the sky high rates during middle and late 2008 periods. You can now book a budget hotel for less than SGD60!
You can now stay in a nice four star hotel for only around SGD180 where previously they used to cost around SGD300!
There are many new singapore hotels, resorts and apartments recently opened, including Capella Singapore, Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa, Citadines Singapore Mount Sophia, Cityhub Hotel (which is fast becoming a favourite business hotel due to its low room rates and proximity to the central business district), Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen and lots more.
Singapore is well known for being a shopping paradise, and if you are coming to Singapore for shopping, you can consider booking hotels along Orchard Road or Scotts Road. However, if shopping is not your top priority, you can consider staying somewhere near the central shopping belt instead. Stay near streets like Victoria Street, Bugis Street, Marina Square etc. The hotel in singapore around that vicinity is cheaper than those you can find in Orchard Road. This is true even if you main priority is to shop, staying an extra 10 – 15minutes away from the central shopping belt would mean more money for you to spend on shopping!
Business travelers can consider the same few stretch of roads, like Victoria Street, Bugis Street, Chinatown or even Little India. The hotels which are not in the Central Business District can easily save you up to SGD100 – SGD200 per night!
A visit to Singapore is never complete with a trip to Sentosa Island, the famous resort island of the republic. However, a stay on the island itself can costs quite a fair bit.
It is recommended you stay on the mainland instead, as it is cheaper to do so. However, if you want to experience a night or two on the island itself, you should consider planning your stay correctly. Plan on which day you would want to do your shopping, and when you want to enjoy the sun and the sea. With that in mind, plan your stay correctly and book the hotels on the mainland for your shopping expedition, and stay on the Sentosa Island for the few days you want to enjoy the sea and the sun!
It is definitely good time to make a booking for hotel in singapore room now, before the economy recovers and the rates go right back up again.
