With multiple travel advisories and restrictions still in place, it may seem unrealistic to get away during the upcoming months.
For those itching to travel overseas, staycations are a practical alternative to unwind without having to navigate foreign streets, jostle through crowds, or manoeuvre logistical nightmares such as flight cancellations.
To help people understand the costs and benefits of staycation options, we gathered room rates from five affordable hotels with easy access to locales including Orchard, Bugis, Sentosa, and Tiong Bahru.
Key findings
Staycation costs remain steady from June to August for four out of five hotels analysed, with the exception of Orchard Hotel where price increased 29 per cent between June to August
