1. Oakwood Premier AMTD
If you miss the hustle and bustle of the Central Business District (CBD), these one-bedroom suites at Oakwood Premier AMTD are perfect for you. Think classic apartment-style furnishings with luxe amenities that will not distract but rather, enhance your work-cation experience. If you wish you take a break from the view of the harbour, you could always pop over to the executive club (a designated space created for ‘remote’ work) planted next to their infinity pool, or go for a quick workout at their 24-hour gym.
P.s. Did we mention that they have mobile bars with free-flow drinks and canapes catered for that post-work happy hour? Read our full review here.

2. SO/ Sofitel Singapore
Situated right next to Lau Pat Sat, SO Sofitel Singapore is exactly as you’d expect — a balancing act between relevance, creativity and local flavour. And this lifestyle hotel doesn’t disappoint with its Moroccan feasts, bottom-less booze brunches, post-work social nights, and virtual meetings packages that feature bento lunch sets! They’ve also made sure to include user-friendly Apple-based technology in each room, plus a Nespresso machine to keep you pumped up on a constant flow of caffeine whenever you hit the books.

3. The Clan Hotel
If you prefer hiding out on the fringes of the CBD, The Clan Hotel should be on the top of your list. While you’ll still be near the CBD, you’ll also have your fair share of trendy bars and restaurants right beside you ala Telok Ayer to distract you from all that stress. Decked out in modern and semi-industrial furnishings, including a good-sized desk, each room is also stocked with a healthy selection of curated tea blends, cookies and a pint of their very own craft beer. After a hard day’s work, settle down with the turndown service that includes a butler-drawn bath, essential oils and a nice calming brew.

4. Hotel Mono
Need a work-cation ASAP that doesn’t break the bank? This shophouse-turned-boutique-hotel in Chinatown pretty much fits the bill. As you can assume from its namesake, Hotel Mono is almost completely monochrome — making any part of the room ideal for those camera-on zoom meetings or Instagram-worthy snapshots. While the hotel leans more towards a minimalistic approach when it comes to facilities, they’ve made sure to ensure that there’s a coffee machine and minibar available for guests to enjoy.

5. Hmlet Cantonment
While popularised as a long-stay living space, Hmlet Cantonment is now open to short-stay guests as well! Other than having their own launderette, the aparthotel comes equipped with an outdoor deck, a garden, and a wellness studio where they host yoga sessions throughout the day! There’s also a bar and canteen area for you to fuel up throughout the day.
Bonus: Pets are allowed here, so you don’t have to worry about your furkid on your work-cation!
Price Per Night: From S$100++ (min. stay of 6 days required)

6. KeSa House
Nestled in the heart of Keong Saik Road, KeSa House is the ideal home away from home. While it’s surrounded by an impressive mix of restaurants, such as Olivia’s, and bespoke cocktail bars (i.e. Elephant Room and Old Man), the boutique hotel somehow manages to create an oasis that’s conducive for working holidays. Just don’t forget to step out every now and again to enjoy your surroundings!

7. Hotel Fort Canning
Stowed away in the flora and fauna of Fort Canning Park, this luxurious colonial artifice is a strong contender when it comes to Singapore’s best working retreat locations. They’ve got the full works here — a sizeable swimming pool, an in-house spa, a restaurant, and even a private lounge just for guests to score free evening drinks. Of course, with Fort Canning Park at your doorstep, you’ll have plenty of trails to occupy you whenever you’re in between meetings or waiting for an email to drop.

8. Hotel Soloha
Eclectic, eccentric, or funky — whichever way you describe it one thing’s for sure, this bespoke boutique hotel doesn’t lack in character. With a workspace dedicated to working from ‘home’, Hotel Soloha enables networking to take place without the usual stuffy formalities. When picking your room, just remember to get the one with an outdoor bathtub (you’re welcome).
