Have you ever felt that visiting smaller towns is more exciting than touring big cities? Well, if you ask me, my answer would be yes. But not if somebody plans it all for you and all you have to do is just pack your bags and reach there. Gone are the days when hotels were only used to spend the night. Sometimes, guests may not want to do anything but just stay in. Realising the multi and diverse needs of guests, hotels are now going all out to make their stay an immersive experience.
Planning a trip to a city like Singapore may not seem exciting considering it's like any other metropolitan city. However, if you book the right hotel, then you may get to see and experience the city like never before. For example, should you choose to stay in a hotel like Four Seasons Singapore, then they pack in some best experiences that will make you see the city in a new light. In fact, the way they curate experiences would make you wonder if the city has so much to offer.
Here's a look at a few experiences through the lens of FS Singapore.
Local breakfast at Hawker's Center
You wouldn't believe it if I told you. But eating is a big part of touring Singapore. The city is not only known for its star hotels, but also some of the best open food courts, also known as the hawker centers. Take the MRT and hit up the famous Maxwell hawker center at the heart of ChinaTown to sample some authentic local hawker's breakfast. You are spoilt for choice as there's so much on offer. Make sure to carry cash and also wait for your turn to order food. Also, reserve your table and make sure to clear your plates after use. The experience is one of its kind.
