An urban escapade

IN EVERY FAMILY, the planning of a vacation almost always involves a clash of priorities. Entertaining the children is all well and good, but it's often done at the expense of harried adults who have no recourse to a getaway of their own. But if you can't bring the kids to a cocktail bar or a full body aromatherapy massage and seaweed wrap, what's a vacation planner - namely, you - to do?

This holiday season, indecision is a thing of the past at Pan Pacific Singapore, which welcomes guests from Dec 9 to stay in its freshly rejuvenated 790 rooms that comply with the highest standards of health and safety. This city getaway is well-versed with the different lifestyle needs of its discerning guests, and has spared no effort in creating an all-in-one destination for every taste.

FOR URBAN ADULTS

If you're working away from home or just want some quiet time to chill alone or with your significant other, Pan Pacific Singapore checks all the boxes with its elegant rooms and suites that are backed by state-of-the-art in-room technology, wireless internet connectivity and the bonus of panoramic views of Marina Bay and the city skyline. For an elevated stay - literally - the Pacific Club rooms give you access to the exclusive Pacific Club Lounge on the 38th floor, where the view of the city and the South China Sea are unparalleled. Not to mention the luxe privileges of champagne breakfast, afternoon tea and sunset cocktails and canapés.

Location-wise, you can't get any more city centre than this. The hotel is connected via sky-bridge to Marina Square, Millenia Walk and Suntec mall, and is a short stroll to both City Hall and Promenade MRT stations. For the more adventurous, Esplanade, Gardens by the Bay and National Gallery are also walkable. Packages start from S$405++.
