Top Recommended Hotels Outside Central Business District, Singapore
One travel tip to explore the expensive city of Crazy Rich Asians without haemorrhaging too much money is to choose a hotel outside the Central Business District. Usually, the rates are lower and you get to experience an authentic slice of local life beyond the touristy spots. With Singapore’ well-developed and air-conditioned bus and subway network, it is very easy to travel to tourist attractions such as Gardens By The Bay, Marina Bay Sands, Universal Studios, Orchard Road and so on.
These hotels in the suburbs might well surpass the value offered by downtown hotels.
Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, Singapore
Designed by WOHA, Crowne Plaza Singapore Changi Airport was a pioneer in the Singapore Hospitality scene when it first opened in 2008. The hotel was the first airport hotel n Sngapore and was revolutionary for its bold, floral design and energy-saving features. Unmitigated vistas of the runway don’t hurt.
Village Hotel Katong, Singapore
Village Hotel Katong was renovated from an old hotel. The good thing about the Village Hotel Katong is that it has retained the very generous room size from an earlier era. The hotel is beautiful too. Village Hotel draws heavily from Peranakan (aka Straits Chinese. The family in Crazy Rich Asians is Peranakan) design elements. The generous evening cocktail buffet in the club lounge add to the value.
Holiday Inn Express Katong, Singapore
A neighbour of Village Hotel Katong, Holiday Inn Express Katong delivers all that the international franchise promises—- clean, affordable, no-frills accommodation.
