Staycation at Andaz hotel

I did a staycation at Andaz hotel Singapore late last year after snagging a pretty good deal for their deluxe room which was further discounted with a Citibank credit card promotion. The one-night stay set us back by $252 , and came with breakfast for two and SGD100 F&B credit. A brand under Hyatt, Andaz incorporates local flairs and touches to its guests’ experiences and all the hotels under the brands have a unique design that integrates with the local fabric. I haven’t been to other Andaz hotels but my stay in Andaz has been peppered with touches of local artifacts and culture, from the interior to the amenities. Local fashion label, In Good Company, designed the staff uniform. The open closet was to our left as we entered the room. We changed into the bedroom slippers, which as a cheeky homage to the local culture, came in the form of the white flip-flops with blue straps, fondly remembered as the grandfather generation’s slippers. Unfortunately, it was extremely uncomfortable since the style was more demanding in terms of fit as compared to the usual fluffy hotel bedroom slippers. It was snug and a painful fit for me. Give me the usual slippers anytime. On the right, we had the mini-fridge and Nespresso machine, which was stocked with a variety of drinks and a paltry serving of potato chips (the smallest packet no less), and kit kat. Minibar was complimentary so I shouldn’t complain. Subsequent refills are chargeable. They separated the main rest area from the entryway with wooden doors painted in a complementary bright yellow, reminiscent of those found in shop-houses. #summervacation#hotelstay
