Far East Hospitality, one of Singapore’s leading operators of hotels and serviced residences, has unveiled four exclusive Made-In-Singapore rooms at each of its Village Hotels. These rooms serve to connect travellers with Singapore’s varied culture, history and heritage, and provide an interpretation of Singapore-inspired hospitality.
At the start of 2018, the first-of-its-kind project saw students from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) submitting designs that showcased their interpretation of “Singapore-inspired hospitality”. Students drew inspiration from a variety of sources such as cultural landmarks in the property’s vicinity, the location’s history, and heritage. In March 2018, Far East Hospitality took inspiration from the four winning concepts and worked with the hotel’s in-house design team to construct these rooms.
“Today’s sophisticated travellers are in search for local and authentic experiences, and that is what Far East Hospitality seeks to provide through our Village brand,” says Arthur Kiong, chief executive officer of Far East Hospitality. “Guests who opt to stay in these Made-in-Singapore rooms will be able to eat, play, and explore like a local – ultimately, bringing home a memorable experience of Singapore.”
Guests can book for a stay under the “Made-In-Singapore Room package” from any of the Village Hotels from 27 August 2018 onwards. The package is priced from SGD250 nett per room per night. Upon check-in, they will be welcomed with a local drink – milo dinosaur, and an exclusive photo which captures the memories of their stay.
Besides staying in these exclusive rooms, guests are also entitled to breakfast for two, F&B vouchers, a Village Passport, which includes places that guests can visit to “Explore like a Local”, a Singapore-inspired souvenir, and an Activity Book which incorporates ten ways to Live Like a Local, a take-home recipe card featuring local food such as chicken rice and mee siam, and mini-games for guests to play while they learn interesting facts about local attractions and culture.
