Best Of Both Worlds
A staycation at a Pan Pacific Serviced Suites residence lets you feel at home while exploring the city you're in
AS FAR AS staycations go, the Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road seems to have it all: Plush rooms, great facilities, convenient location, and great dining and drinking options. It's also right across the Arab Street heritage enclave - the buzzy, indie heart of Singapore with a curious hodgepodge of old-timey textile shops, achingly-hip cafes, live music bars, vintage stores and Hygge-inspired boutiques.
On this suites-only property, all rooms are generously appointed with a living area, kitchenette and washer-dryer. There's also a lounge where guests can unwind with a good book, or over a game of pool or Xbox.
Above all, the ultimate reason for booking a stay is the 21st - storey rooftop pool. By day, the panorama of lush greenery stretches from the Kallang riverside all the way towards Marina South. The expansive view also makes the deck a great spot for basking in the sunset hues while relaxing by the jacuzzi seats. Then there's the picture-perfect nightscape, illuminated by the magnificent, ever-busy Benjamin Sheares Flyover, and that psychedelic glow of the Singapore Flyer and Gardens by the Bay. Bonus: Fireworks from the on-going National Day Parade rehearsals can also be spotted from a corner of the deck.
