My Weekend Getaway at Hotel Jen Tanglin
Is your work or school life getting too hectic for you?
Are you constantly looking ahead to the next deadline and forget to leave time to breathe. The constant busyness can be a bit exhausting and sometimes all we need is a break from all these stressful and scheduled days. It's time you should reward yourself for your hard work and give yourself some time off. Weekend getaways are one of the best ways to get a break from all of that. I love weekend getaway because I can be in a completely different environment and it gives our brain a distraction and helps us detach from the academic world. There are many ways to do it, you can spend it partying with friends, relaxing by the beach or even a hotel staycation with your friends or loved ones, just remember to schedule in time for a weekend getaway. Not too sure which hotel to check out?
Here is one of my recomendation!
I'm sure you heard or saw picture of this beautiful hotel- Hotel Jen Tanglin (Formally Traders Hotel Singapore) that was reopened in Dec 2015. Yes, Hotel Jen has undergone this extensive $SGD45 million makeover to transition from Traders Hotel Singapore. The fresh and contemporary hotel, designed to attract the same highly valued business and leisure traveller, now reflects a modern functional design concept that removes many of the common pain points of today’s travellers – whether individuals, families or groups.
The newly renovated property, pioneers innovations in design and product for the 9 other Hotel Jen properties under Shangri-La International Hotel Management across Asia Pacific.
Clifford Weiner, General Manager of Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore said: “I love the energy at the new hotel. Our hotel offers a lot of value for travellers who appreciate the ingenious details done well¬– stylish and comfy rooms, enthusiastic and upbeat staff, convenience and accessibility, all delivered fuss free. We hope to give guests an authentic Singapore experience and deliver it with an inspired zest!”
Key highlights that reflect the needs of today’s modern traveller include:
New contemporary guest rooms
None of the 565 rooms are the same – with four contemporary locally curated wallpaper designs highlighting a Singapore theme (bicycle, orchid, goldfish and shop house). Each room includes thoughtful touches such as: free WiFi, USB charger outlets, high pressure walk-in showers, and king-sized “floating” beds with 300-thread count linen. Executive suites also include a pull-out sofa bed, a small pantry, a microwave and a SMEG fridge. The 18 Storey hotel also boasts a large, chic and vibrantly designed Club Lounge located on the 17th floor with open views of the nearby residential neighbourhood full of lush greenery,offering a wide variety of healthy breakfast items and a range of local and international cocktails and canapes in the evening becoming fast the most popular area of the hotel.
A fresh take on all-day dining
Authentic South-East Asian cuisine will be showcased in J65, a new restaurant with a local farmer’s market look and feel. The chic lobby also houses Jen’s Kitchen On-the-Go – a café and snack bar offering Singapore’s finest artisan products including locally roasted coffee and many open lounging areas to meet the growing social needs of the next generation traveller.
The heart of Singapore
A unique feature of Hotel Jen Tanglin is the Heart Map. Team members and guests alike are encouraged to share their favourite tips and recommendations on the hand-drawn map.
