HSBC staycation deals at Raffles, Kempinski, Shangri-La Valley Wing and more

With overseas quarantine-free travel to and from dozens of countries around the world now a relatively straightforward process for Singapore residents, since borders were reopened earlier this month, one thing that’s fallen by the wayside for many readers is the concept of taking a staycation here in the Lion City.

Indeed it’s been a full six months since we saw the regular monthly range of HSBC ‘WOW on Weekend’ deals offered to cardholders with the fastest fingers first, but the concept isn’t dead after all.

Discounted rates at five properties are going live between 15th and 17th April, for stays through to 31st August 2022 in some cases.

As usual you will want to be quick once the offer goes live, since the best rates and inclusions are available only for the first 50 bookings at each property.

Participating hotels this time round are:

Some bad news with the increasing arrival of tourists into Singapore from overseas again is that some of the rates have taken a bit of a hit since border restriction times, especially at Raffles, where the offer is already 20% pricier than before (but still comes in at around half the regular rate).

At the Shangri-La, however, an excellent midweek rate of S$357++ is available for the Valley Wing Deluxe Room, inclusive of breakfast, 12pm – 10.30pm Champagne, afternoon tea and evening cocktails, which is a great deal at this property.

The Mandarin Oriental rate of S$349++ (on weekdays) or S$379++ (at weekends) in a Marina Bay View Room is also very competitive, though you’ll have to bring your own bubbly to match the vista with this one!

Which card?

These offers are open to all HSBC Singapore cardholders, but wherever possible, you should be using your HSBC Revolution credit card for these bookings, to earn 4 mpd on the first S$1,000 spend at hotels per calendar month.

In case you still haven’t picked up this excellent card yet, check out our 10 reasons for adding it to your wallet, which include no annual fee (forever) and 4 mpd on groceries and dining spend for contactless payments.

There’s currently a S$200 sign-up bonus when you apply as a new cardholder.

Hotel focus has definitely shifted overseas in recent weeks, following Singapore’s welcome relaxation of border restrictions, but the staycation market isn’t dead just yet.

HSBC has returned with its WOW weekend sale for five local hotels, and many of you will be especially interested in the Shangri-La Valley Wing S$357++ rate, which is excellent considering the generous Champagne and afternoon tea inclusions.

These offers can be booked for stays right through to August 2022 at some properties, so even if you’re taking advantage of overseas travel in the coming months, you may still be able to find time to treat yourself to a staycation as well.

If you’re interested in any of these offers, mark your calendar for 15th to 17th April (i.e. from midnight on Thursday night). The best deals are limited to the first 50 bookings at all these hotels, so you’ll need to try and book early to be in with chance of securing the lowest rates.

For the Goodwood Park offer, which is only bookable by email, preset your Mail app or Outlook to send your booking request at the stroke of midnight (Fri 00:00) to be in with the best chance, with no need to stay up late. Do be sure to specify your name, preferred dates, number of guests and contact number in the message itself.

For the other deals, ideally you’ll need to be online at midnight to book.

As always, the HSBC Revolution card is the one to use, giving you 4 mpd for the spend itself (up to S$1,000 per calendar month in bonus categories).
