A staycation and travel addict who tries to toe the balance between living the atas life and maintaining some resemblance of financial sanity.
Is it risky to stay 4 days after a property’s opening AND on one of the “peakest” day of the year? Yes. Also probably not the smartest move. But hey, new hotel fetish remember? Newly renovated / transformed ones also count!
I last experienced this property as its former life, Regent Singapore, back in 2022 and was excited to see its transformation and especially if its into a Conrad.

Onwards to more new(ish) hotel experience!
I think this hotel is more known for housing the crazy expensive Cedric Grolet than the rooms but nonetheless how can I miss out trying yet another new property?

The loss of my Accor Platinum was not an enough deterrent for me to try this much-delayed property. Railway junction theme and 19th century roots of luxury travel here I come!

This was an impromptu staycay due to my expiring D$ and I figured why not since the refurbished rooms looks really great on sites I’ve visited. So off I went to have another whirlwind stay! I last visited the property in 2022 and it has since been refurbished extensively including some of the F&B so I was keen to float by these spots too to see what the exciting renovations are about.

This stay is so postponed that I am kind of glad that I am finally checking this off.
The story is that during COVID era, I found a great rate which was eligible for their Best Rate Guarantee (BRG) which was honored and all ready to go. Until they closed to be a Stay Home Notice (SHN) facility. Then they re-opened after some time but they closed The Den (their interpretation of an Executive Lounge) which was what I wanted to experience for my stay. So I opted to reschedule only after The Den is re-opened (and kudos to the property for accommodating this allowance). Now, I am ready to stay after 1.5years postponement!

What an anticipated property this is!
I was looking forward to this stay because I was able to secure a Stay Plus slot with a small top up, plus I would still have my Accor Platinum status at the point of my stay which would hopefully elevate the experience. Excited to see what the former Park Hotel Orchard has become under the Accor group.

I was kind of excited for this last leg of my trip as it has been a while since I’ve been in this J cabin and I honestly miss the super flat and straight bedding (A380 why you so wrinkled).
