Village Hotels by Far East Hospitality launches the Village Important Kids (VIK) programme at its Albert Court, Bugis and Katong properties – offering you a fun-filled family escapade that nurtures wonder and encourages young travellers to explore, play and enjoy.
Redefining the Village experience through thoughtfully curated touchpoints, the hotel brings together travel’s greatest stories and endless thrills for the whole family.
Ranging from arts and crafts to movie nights and local experiences, your family is guaranteed to be entertained for hours on end. In addition, you can look forward to participating in activities such as face painting, caricature, balloon sculpting, Nerf gun and more, which will be rotated among the three hotels every month.
Interactive Check-in Experience
To welcome your little ones and make them feel like a VIP upon arrival, Village Hotels by Far East Hospitality has opened a VIK priority check-in counter – a kid-friendly feature dedicated to offering children between three and 12 years old the opportunity to check-in on behalf of the family.
Located beside the guest check-in counters and accessible with a VIK ladder, the VIK programme unlocks a world of imagination where each child will receive an activity book; a “Discover Our Partners” list that provides a guide to over 20 places to Eat, Play, Explore like a Local; and S$40 nett Village Currency to enjoy at any stores listed on Village’s partners list.
You will also be treated to complimentary dessert.
