Hotel Review: Amari Johor Bahru (One Bedroom Suite) - Near CIQ and JB City Square

Since I have checked out the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru on a few occasions previously, I have decided to check myself in to the relatively-new Amari Johor Bahru which is located in a much better location (since it is only 5 minutes away from JB City Square) for the weekend. The hotel is located directly behind KOMTAR JBCC (which is behind JB City Square) and getting from the JB CIQ to the Amari Johor Bahru takes you less than 10 minutes on foot.

Hotel Review: Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur (Grand Executive Suite) - Luxurious Hotel with Best View of Petronas Towers

The Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is one of my well-loved Grand Hyatt properties in Asia-Pacific. Now, I have been to multiple Grand Hyatt properties in the region but ever since I have successfully managed to redeem one of my guaranteed suite upgrades in this property back in 2014, the property has become one of my favourite over the years. Check out my review of the massive Grand Executive Suite here at this luxurious property in Kuala Lumpur!

Hotel Review: Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena (Premier Skyline Room)

The Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena is one of the newest hotels to open in Singapore. While many hotels did open in Singapore last year, there are only a handful more that are slated to open in 2018. Located just a short stroll away from Novena MRT Station, the Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena is the tallest hotel in the area and it is also a stone's throw away from some of Singapore's best hospitals (making it perfect for medical tourism as well!).

Hotel Review: Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium (Executive Room) - Affordable Hotel near Robertson Quay

While I have stayed at the Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium previously, I checked-in at the property once again recently as I wanted to complete one of my Accelerate challenges for the final quarter (speaking of which, you should register for the Accelerate challenges next quarter). More importantly, I actually stayed here three years ago and I wanted to revisit it to have a more current review of this property - I also wanted to pig out at Zion Riverside Food Centre but that's a different story for another time. Check out my review of the Executive Room here at the Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium!

Hotel Review: Rydges Auckland (King Residence Suite) - Central Hotel in Auckland's CBD

A third daily flight between Singapore and Auckland has been announced earlier this month and while it will only commence on 28 October 2018, the route is well-served by a number of solid products. In the summer months, passengers traveling on Singapore Airlines may consider trying out the excellent Suites and Business Class product on the A380. After staying at the Hilton Auckland for about a week, I moved over to the Rydges Auckland for the weekend as it was considerably more affordable and it is situated right in the middle of the city along Federal Street.

Hotel Review: Conrad Beijing (Executive Suite) - Luxurious and Modern Hotel in Beijing

The Executive Suite at the Conrad Beijing is easily one of the most beautiful suites that I have stayed in. It enjoys plenty of daylight and the view is amazing (as long as the weather in Beijing is good). The property is located to Sanlitun and Guomao, making it a great choice for both leisure and business travellers but more importantly, the interiors of the hotel are just stunning!
