We have all been there – narrowing down our choices for accommodation down to a few but not making much progress.

Well, now that Village Hotel Katong is making a pivot towards long term stay with its alluring packages, you are surely in luck.

There is no need to break the bank while basking in the tropical weather as you holiday here in Singapore and take a respite from the buzzing city life.

Nothing simply beats a spacious and ultra comfortable suite that spans across 55 square metres, giving you sufficient space to do a little twirl dance to show how psyched you are for your trip to Singapore.

That’s beside the point as you get to live like a local; more specifically, eat, play and explore like a local at Village Hotel Katong and here’s why.

Immerse yourself in the local way of life at Village Hotel Katong

Be greeted with a keen sense of hospitality and warmth as you step into this flagship Village Hotel, whose decor signifies a cross between local Peranakan influences and contemporary elegance of its own.

Step into the suite and comfort is bound to be the first thing that comes to your mind.

The suite room certainly sets itself apart with a cosy living area that is truly inviting alongside a well-equipped kitchenette ensuite that comes replete with a full set of cooking utensils and cutlery.

There is even a communal table for four situated in a brightly-lit corner of the suite, which is well-positioned to give you a pretty good view of the overlooking skyline.

Apart from that, the kitchenette area comes with a fully functional washing machine, refrigerator as well as microwave for your daily needs.

Whether is it heating up leftover food from over-ordering at the dining table (as we all do while travelling) or simply fixing up a quick snack, this handy area has you covered. 

For all you green enthusiasts out there, Village Hotel Katong is also an ardent supporter of protecting the Mother Earth.

Now you can hop on the bandwagon and do your part for the earth as you opt to reuse your towels by hanging them up.

Experience a distinctive stay with local influences

As an integral part of our local heritage, the Peranakan culture – whose descendants are affectionately known as Baba Nyonya, is reflected in the interior design of the suite. You will find that the pillow cases come with floral motifs that symbolise this rich hybrid of various ethnic traditions from Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.

It doesn’t just stop there.

The hotel has displayed much attentiveness to details, where even the ornaments on display in the room align with the recurrent theme of this fascinating heritage that has been married with Portuguese, Dutch, Indonesian and Chinese influences.

It is hard not to wax lyrical about its beautifully adorned dressing mirror and sink area with towels conveniently placed below the bathroom counter.

Next to it, you will find a bathtub that is perfect for those nights where all you want to do is lift your feet up and soak in a bubble bath to your heart’s content.

Eat, play and explore a plethora of nearby local activities
