Celebrate Singapore's Sparkling Culture With A Loft Stay
A shining example of captivating city planning, Singapore is a special melting pot of cultures with alluring attractions for a fun weekend. You can jump between beckoning boutique shops on your next trip downtown or try exploring the city’s rich green spaces. Whether you’re wining and dining over a romantic break or gearing up with friends for a girl’s weekend, make your stay special with a smart and roomy loft hotel. We’ve selected two great loft-style options in the heart of Robertson Quay with itinerary suggestions for what to do in Singapore over the weekend.
Why choose a loft-style stay in Singapore?
Loft-style rooms are more than just a novelty in space-deprived Singapore. They mirror the city’s forward-thinking design with arresting and modern interiors. Offering stunning city views and smart use of mezzanines and high ceilings, these spaces are generous and make appealing options for a long weekend in Singapore. The overall experience is modern, unique and inviting, ably balancing an attractive living area with restful sleeping suites. The loft style has been elevated to a fine level with the design-oriented M Social and Studio M Hotel.
M Social Singapore
The contemporary M Social offers several fine loft rooms, including a delightful ground floor terrace with a garden. Boasting full-height windows overlooking sprawling city lights, the wow factor kicks in during the evening. All loft rooms offer ample area for lounging with spacious ground floors and luxury ensuite facilities. The M Social Singapore is an ultra-chic hotel in Robertson Quay with plenty of on-site provisions, including a swimming pool, sundeck and gym.
Studio M Hotel
The storied Studio M Hotel is similarly located in the charming Robertson Quay. One of the first hotels to popularise loft-style living, it allows guests to pick from three options: Studio, Premier and Executive. All blissfully marry style and function with sleek mezzanines and spacious lounging and working areas. Rooms are equipped with ensuite bathrooms, while the hotel boasts a casual café, gym and pretty pool area.
Make a staycation out of your loft-style room
You needn’t leave your room or hotel to make your stay unforgettable. M Social and Studio M deliver a package of exciting in-hotel activities. Craft a memory-making weekend break or bookend your day with your friends at the hotel with cocktail courses and chocolate tasting, among other treats.
At M Social, staycationing is brought to the next level with unique, hands-on experiences. Enjoy more rel="noopener noreferrer" than your typical Singapore Sling; craft your own cocktail with an expert-led mixology session. You can learn to perfect iconic gin slings before crafting your boozy concoction from bitters, tinctures, syrups and spirits. Your loft room comes with a DIY cocktail kit if you chose to continue the cocktail adventure in your room. If olfactory discoveries rel="noopener noreferrer" are more your thing, M Social has teamed up with Maison 21G to create your own perfume. Upon completion, you’ll receive a luxurious bottling of your perfect scent as a lasting memory of your loft vacation.
At Studio M, it’s all about culinary creations. Learn all about cocoa by getting rel="noopener noreferrer" up close with the chocolatier process. With the Studio M Chocolate Temptation loft package, you make your own chocolate bar during a 1-hour workshop. The hotel has a wealth of day-use options, too, if you need some “R&R” in Singapore. For healthy, pre- or post-sightseeing nourishment, Studio M allows you to create your own salad from scratch with only your favourite ingredients. You can do all this in the comfort of the MEMO Café, the hotel’s trendy and leafy on-site dining space.
Explore Robertson Quay and Singapore
Robertson Quay is one of Singapore’s quieter hidden gems. More secluded than the city's other quays, it's crammed with sensational bars and restaurants to ring in the evening. One of the best is the rustic Wine Connection, an oenophile's dream on the banks of the Singapore River. This tranquil charm makes Robertson Quay a perfect place to catch up and romance. Nearby, you can wander the hawker markets of Lau Pa Sat to sample sensational street food or soak in the culture of Hong San See Temple and its gilded carvings.
Robertson Quay benefits from its proximity to Clarke Quay, Singapore's pre-eminent nightlife spot, where you can chase excitement before returning to your loft room. The Alkaff Bridge and the Helix Bridge are both nearby attractions, with the stunning Flower Dome providing an exotic respite from the city. You’re also just a few kilometres from highlights like Orchard Road, an entertainment hub brimming with exhilarating attractions, and STPI Creative Workshop and Gallery, a print-based gallery.
Singapore is so well connected that most attractions take under 30 minutes to access from scenic Robertson Quay. In Singapore, weekend places to go also include Singapore Zoo. Renowned for its free-roaming lemurs and naturalistic environments, special weekend activities in Singapore Zoo like night safaris and rainforest shows are a must. Other highlights include Fort Canning Park, a hilltop retreat of shaded trees surrounded by noteworthy institutions like the National Museum of Singapore and National Gallery off Coleman Street.
