A city escapade, heritage-themed stay, or a play-cation with the kiddos? You can combine them all in one relaxing family retreat at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore – bookmark this itinerary!
We at HoneyKids love staycays with the fam (who doesn’t?), and lucky for us, Singapore has lots of hotels with kid-friendly amenities and experiences. The award-winning Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore is one of these, and has recently enhanced its offerings with newly renovated rooms – including a new two-bedroom family suite that sleeps up to six pax!
But what we’re most excited about is its latest family retreat package, which comes with themed kids’ rooms, fun activities, as well as exclusive dining perks at the riverside hotel. Think: glamping or space-themed room decor, games, complimentary shuttle service to heritage neighbourhoods and the CBD, kids-eat-free promos, and more!
Sounds like a staycay dream-come-true? Here’s an idea of how your stay would be like with Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore’s family retreat package.
Your riverside family staycation itinerary
Day one
Check in: Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore
Start your family staycay on a high note with welcome treats like ice cream and popcorn for the kiddos upon check in. Then, watch their faces light up when you finally get to your room. As part of Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore’s family retreat package, you’ll stay at the newly renovated Premier Family Room that’s decked out for an indoor camping adventure; or a spaceship-themed getaway.
Expect family games, storybook torch, and indoor tent in the glamping-themed room, which also comes with a star projector that guarantees the kiddos a sky full of stars during bedtime. And if you get a room with the space-inspired decor, get ready for family game time on the Nintendo Switch console, interactive toys, and a kid-sized spaceship.
Tea time: The Lobby Lounge
When the kiddos are done exploring the room, head down to The Lobby Lounge for a one-for-one afternoon tea, complete with an unlimited scone trolley. That’s right – you can request for as many freshly baked scones as you’d like, paired with delicious jam and velvety clotted cream. Yum!
And don’t worry about ordering another set for the kids – they get complimentary mini afternoon tea sets as part of your stay package!
Play: Grab a racquet or go on a stroll
Are you a sporty family? You’ll be happy to know that you can enjoy 10% court bookings at Prime Padel’s Grand Copthorne Waterfront courts. Padel racquets are available for rent if you don’t have one – all you need are comfy shoes and water bottles to kick start the fun.
Even if you’re not up for padel, or if the kids are too young for it, you can go on a relaxing riverside walk along the Alexandra Park Connector located just behind the hotel. Keep an eye out for otters while you’re on your walk, or take a short stroll to Kim Seng Park where there’s a lovely playground for little ones.
Feast: Choose between succulent grills and western fare
Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore houses some great eateries. For example, Riverside Terrace specialises in serving the finest steaks and seafood, cooked to serve in a Josper grill over applewood fire. The kiddos get to dine for free here as well when you order a main course.
Alternatively, dine indoors at The Lobby Lounge where you get to enjoy one-for-one mains like pizzas and pastas. You can also end the night on a sweet note with its indulgent chocolate mud pie – a crowd favourite.
Bedtime: Wind down and lights out
After an eventful day out, it’s time to rest and relax. You’ll find thoughtfully prepared kids’ amenities, like gentle body wash, bath bomb, and even a cute bath sponge for the little ones. Read a story or two, tuck in, and recharge for another exciting day.
Day two
Breakfast: A hearty meal awaits
Rise and shine! As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, so why not start your day early with the kiddos and beat the breakfast queue at Food Capital? Expect live stations like the staple egg counter, a noodle counter offering Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore’s signature laksa, as well a wide selection of dishes from various cuisines.
Explore: Visit an indoor playground or hunt for murals
If you’ve yet to visit KidZania Singapore, seize this opportunity to explore this kid-sized city with your children. The hotel’s stay package comes with a 25% discount on KidZania Singapore tickets, including a one-way complimentary drop-off service at the theme park at 10am daily. Let the kiddos try out different jobs: join the air force, be a banker, or work as a chef for a day.
Prefer to do outdoor exploring? Hop on Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore’s heritage shuttle to neighbourhoods like Tiong Bahru and Chinatown. Learn about their histories and spot the famous street art: like the Pasar Tiong Bahru mural, and the Cantonese opera mural at Chinatown. Fancy a walk along the bay? The free shuttle goes to Marina Bay area too!
Check out: Time to head home
Time certainly flies when you’re having fun. The staycation might have ended, but you’ll have memories of time spent together as a family. Don’t forget to bring home the complimentary kids’ backpack!
