JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach Extended as SHN-Dedicated Facility (SDF) Through 04 March 2022
The JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach is one of my favourite properties in Singapore for a staycation. Prior to the whole COVID-situation, the Executive Lounge of the property features a number of meal presentations a day and evening cocktails used to run for four whole hours (perfect for those who enjoy a drink!). While the property was initially supposed to accept leisure bookings from early November 2021, it appears that it has now been extended as an SHN-Dedicated Facility (SDF) through 04 March 2022.

With the number of confirmed COVID cases increasing rapidly in recent weeks, a number of hotels have been designated as dedicated facilities for those serving their SHN and quarantine orders. Unfortunately, this means that the JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach will not be accepting leisure bookings anytime soon, and Marriott Bonvoy members will only have a number of properties to choose from in the meantime. At the time of writing, The Westin Singapore will start accepting leisure bookings again from December 2021, but of course, this is subject to changes along the way.
The Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel (which has a really decent M Club) along Orchard Road has also been extended as an SDF through December 2021, and it is unclear now whether or not this arrangement will be extended.
