DISCOVERY Loyalty is one of the most underrated hotel loyalty programs in the market and it can actually be immensely valuable if you tend to do one-night staycations. Now you may remember that there is a Double Night Credits global promotion that is currently running but if you are already a Black or Platinum member, your elite status has been extended through December 2022 - no further stays are required (even though you will probably need to start staying in 2022 to qualify through 2023).

Elite status in the DISCOVERY Loyalty program offers plenty of perks like double-upgrades and 6:00 PM late check-out (when available) across participating Global Hotel Alliance properties in Singapore - do note that some of the benefits do not apply to properties like the Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road Singapore.

As a quick reminder, The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore is currently running a Weekday Special Rate offer from S$372++ a night where you can enjoy dining credits, breakfast, and a 3:00 PM guaranteed late checkout if you book by 15 January 2021.

I have been a Black-tier elite member in the DISCOVERY Loyalty program for many years and have experienced some pretty amazing properties first-hand but my favourites include the Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort, Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, as well as the Pan Pacific Singapore. I checked out the Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas back in December 2019 when it first opened (I literally went there on the first day of opening as a paying guest) and really liked the property as well.
