Our Parenting World team went to another hotel staycation during this year end school holidays, this time is at Marina Mandarin Hotel. There are a number of luxury hotels around Marina Square and Marina Mandarin is one of them. We are delighted to stay in this 5 star hotel!
Marina Mandarin Hotel is conveniently located at the heart of the City with easy access to Marina Square Shopping Mall which is connected to the hotel. It is also within walking distance to other shopping malls like Suntec City which has many restaurants, boutiques and more to satisfy your shopping needs and to popular attractions like Singapore Flyer and Gardens by the Bay.
Many hotel guests and visitors to Marina Mandarin hotel love to admire its natural sunlit atrium. Throughout the daytime, the natural sunlight streams from the glass roof all the way to the atrium area. The architecture design of the hotel is certainly one of the most unique in Singapore. In fact, it’s open atrium is one of the highest among all the hotels in Southeast Asia at 21 storeys.
Marina Mandarin has 575 rooms and each room is connected to wireless or broadband Internet access and comes with city skyline view.
In the morning, we are surprised to hear birds chirping merrily! Guests can enjoy listening to the beautiful birds singing as they relax around the atrium.
We checked into our Executive Deluxe Marina Bay View Room at Marina Mandarin. The Executive Deluxe room is spread over 11 to 15 floors. Our room is fitted with a King bed and an extra bed. The additional bed is available upon request and subject to additional charges per night.
The room is so spacious with the size of 31 – 33 square metre! It can easily accommodate a family of four comfortably!
This comfortable, elegant and luxurious room comes with a large work space, flat screen TV with 42 local and international channels and offering complimentary WIFI for up to 4 devices, the rooms are also designed to cater to the business or leisure traveller.
A “Handy” smart phone is provided at the hotel room. You can use it to make phone calls and surf the Internet, free of charge.
Tea and coffee making facilities, complimentary bottled mineral water are supplied daily and a well-stocked up minibar are available.
The spacious hotel bathroom comes with separate bath and shower, dual vanity and bidet in most rooms. Toiletries are from Marina Mandarin own in-house brand. If you require additional toiletries and or towels, you can call housekeeping service and they will attend to your request quickly.
Our hotel room balcony oversees a stunning scenic view of the city, the beautiful Marina Bay and National Stadium. We can step outside of our room to enjoy the cool year end weather, relax and enjoy the scenery.
Having a room with a balcony is quite rare for hotels in Singapore nowadays due to land constraint and this additional balcony certainly makes the stay more enjoyable. We even saw the beautiful Singapore skyline during the sunrise period at around 6.45am in the morning.
We love our hotel room! It is very spacious, comfortable and cosy!
