4.. Shangri-La Hotel Singapore: Kid-friendly Staycation

If your kids are big fans of Shangri-La Hotel’s kid’s club Buds and the outdoor water splash pad complete with pirate ship, emptying buckets, water guns and slides then consider a staycation at this hotel right near Orchard. The grounds are really lush – perfect for that picnic basket included in many of the staycation packages. We hear the Family Suites are amazing (those bunk beds will have your kids squealing with delight!) and the spa is really worth checking out while the kids are entertained at the kids club.
