<p>New hotels are popping up all over Singapore—like Yotel Singapore, InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay and Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena to name a few recent ones—but <a href="http://andazsingapore.com" target="_blank"><strong>Andaz Singapore</strong></a>, which just opened at the end of Oct, is setting itself apart with a few interesting touches.</p>
<p>This first Andaz-branded hotel to open in Southeast Asia is sited within mixed-use development DUO; that pair of honeycomb-shaped glass-clad skyscrapers beside the iconic Parkview Square. This means that some of Singapore’s best restaurants, bars and shops are just a stone’s throw away from the hotel, including Atlas, Haji Lane and Alchemist Beer Lab.</p>
<p>But why you’ll really want to check out Andaz is for the hotel’s own offerings, starting with the charming <strong>Alley on 25</strong>, a collection of seven shophouse-themed eateries serving up local cuisine. Then there’s <strong>665°F</strong> restaurant which specializes in premium meats and sustainable seafood; <strong>Pandan</strong> for takeaway confectionary; and the much-anticipated <strong>Mr Stork</strong>, a rooftop bar offering teepee-hut seating and 360° views of the city from its perch.</p>
<p>The 342 rooms (including 26 suites) feature floor-to-ceiling windows and a complimentary minibar filled with local snacks and non-alcoholic drinks that are replenished daily. That’s not all. All guests are treated to a club room access-like experience with all-day complimentary refreshments at their <strong>Sunroom</strong> lounge, plus access to the Andaz Lounge Hour from 5-7pm daily where complimentary wines and their own Andaz Pale Ale (made in collaboration with Red Dot Microbrewery) await.</p>
<p>There’s also an outdoor pool and a 24-hour fitness centre for your workout needs after all that feasting and drinking. If you’re hankering for a staycation, <a href="http://andazsingapore.com" target="_blank"><strong>Andaz Singapore</strong></a> is now offering an opening discount of 20 percent from now through Jan 31, 2018 for a minimum of two night’s stay.</p>
