I'm all ready for my mini-moon. Orchard Road which is well-know for marvelous Christmas decorations has been my dream even before I decided to tie the knot. If I had the chance, I would have been there long time ago. Now my dream is granted, thanks to Hubs. We decided to spend the go there earlier before Christmas to experience the Christmas mood and be back before we got stuck in the Christmas jam.

During Matta fair, we went to survey a few agencies to get the best deal. Two were shortlisted. Komtar Tour gave us a higher price package for Bayview Hotel compare to Forever Travel. So we decided to engage Forever for our trip. with the thought that changing hotel will also be cheaper. The Scarlet Hotel was recommended by the pretty lady working in Uniquely Singapore counter. It is a boutique hotel with nice ambiance. To our dismay, the prices for hotels other than Bayview are more expensive compare to those provided by Komtar Tour. Ended up, we engaged Komtar Tour and paid on the spot. So beware that not all packages in Matta Fair is worth the price.

NOW, introducing .....
Scarlet Hotel
Singapore's latest boutique hotel - The Scarlet - opens on 1st December 2004 after a S$45 millions acquisitions and refurbishment. Vivacious and uninhibited, this 84 room hotel's interiors pulsate with an eclectic tension, offering all those who enter, an adventure for the senses.

A total of 5 inspiring and engaging suites await and seduce. Each custom design bears a different and unique personality, from design to colour palatte through to luxurious furnishings and fittings. Decadence prevails, be it Splendour, Opulent, Lavish or Swank.

Business travellers can rest easy. All 24 executives and 14 premium rooms are fully wired and designed with all the trappings of comfort and convenience for road warrior.
The best things in life comes in small package, so leave all your care behind in any of our 15 deluxe or 24 standard room. All well appointed in refreshing shades to help you relax while you remain wired to the world.
We are so thrilled to have booked this hotel instead of others. Photos from their website might differ from their actual condition. Heck! At least they are only 3years old. It can't be that bad for a 5-star boutique hotel. With the offered price, I think we've got a good deal compare to the actual price.

Scarlet Hotel is situated in Chinatown with nearest bus stop 0.08km away, nearest MRT/LRT 0.37km away and nearest shopping centre 0.31km away.

I've read a few comments on tripod advisor. There are good and bad reviews. I was worried after reading the bad comment initially but after seeing the pictures taken by KRDDA on ClubSnap Photography forum, I was relieved. After my trip, I'll sure to post photos or the hotel condition and write my review. Stay tune.......
