Conrad Centennial Singapore
in

If you have stayed at the Conrad Centennial Singapore, you will know exactly how the teddy bear in the room (or suite!) looks. I guess for many of us, it has become a secret obsession to collect the different plush toys from Conrad all around the world. Through the "Adopt a Conrad Bear" campaign, the Conrad Centennial Singapore has raised a total of S$10,613.70 for the Association for Persons with Special Needs (APSN) which took place last December.

Following the success of the "Adopt a Conrad Bear" campaign, the Conrad Centennial Singapore has announced the official launch of the new mascot bear design which will feature an Oriental and a Batik design to reflect the culture and heritage of Singapore. All guests who are staying at the Conrad Centennial Singapore from March 2016 will receive a red oriental Conrad Singapore bear; while the batik bear will be available from May 2016.
