October is known for multiple celebrations — Halloween and Oktoberfest being a couple of more familiar ones. But another under-the-radar festivity is International Coffee Month. To mark the month-long celebration, Citadines Singapore is offering wellness seekers a pick-me-up with their coffee-themed staycation package.
From a coffee roasting tour to coffee-themed workshops, there’s plenty to see and do for you to brew up a romantic date with bae.
The best way to get to know someone better is through shared experiences. If you’re looking to take your SO on an unconventional activity that’s not a date or movie, perhaps a coffee roastery tour might do the trick. With this upcoming staycation package, your lil’ getaway from work will include an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Nanyang coffee roastery. There, visitors will get to have a close-up with coffee roasting and understand the rich history and culture of coffee-drinking.
If the dates of the roastery tour aren’t aligned with your schedule, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out. All guests will get freebies upon check-in, such as a cold brew Kopi-O Kosing and a welcome postcard with recipes for you to experiment with at home.
Take your caffeine addiction one step further with the free workshops. Think DIY Coffee Scrub, How to Make Bullet Coffee, and traditional coffee appreciation sessions every Saturday. There’s also a coffee exhibition in the properties if history’s your thing.
You won’t be leaving empty-handed either. Every booking also qualifies you to take home a welcome kit of exclusive coasters and Jute Bag, alongside complimentary coffee on Tuesday mornings and Thursday evenings – a reminder that a mid-week stay might just be what you and bae need.
As your day winds down, cosy up in any of the property’s luxurious rooms, spanning studios to lofts. The best part is that the activation is taking place across their various properties, namely Citadines Fusionopolis Singapore, Citadines Rochor Singapore, Citadines Balestier Singapore, Citadines Connect Rochester Singapore, Citadines Science Park Singapore and Citadines Raffles Place Singapore.
The best part about most of the rooms at their properties is how they come fully equipped with amenities like a kitchenette and washer/dryer, so you stay will fully feel like a home away from home. Feeling spoiled for choice with the multiple property options? Well, Citadines Science Park Singapore will be perfect to consider for couples wanting to escape the town crowds, while Citadines Raffles Place Singapore will place you right in the heart of shopping and dining action.
If you have been hoping for that long-awaited staycation, now this is your sign to get that well-deserved rest. Bookings are now open until 30 September 2024 for stays from 1 to 31 October 2024. For more details, you can head over to their website.
Do take note that in order to book the package you have to be an ASR member, which you can sign up for free on their Ascott Star Rewards membership website. Stays at Citadines Balestier Singapore, Citadines Fusionopolis Singapore and Citadines Raffles Place Singapore require minimum number of nights for booking, but hey, the more the merrier.
