Staycations along Orchard Road rarely feel this rewarding, but Pullman Singapore Orchard delivers a well-balanced mix of comfort, smart design and genuinely thoughtful service. With ALL Diamond or Platinum benefits granting access to the excellent Archive Club, plus a surprisingly affordable Red Hot Rooms rate, this stay turned out to be one of the best-value weekend escapes I’ve had in a while.

Hyatt Centric Victoria Harbour Hong Kong delivers impressive harbour views, modern rooms and strong Globalist recognition at one of the most accessible price points on Hong Kong Island. With a solid lounge experience, a lively breakfast at Farmhouse and a location that balances convenience with a calmer neighbourhood vibe, it is an excellent value choice for travellers who want a polished stay without the premium price tag.

Hilton Saigon is one of Ho Chi Minh City’s newest high-end hotels and my stay as a Hilton Honors Gold member came with an unexpected upgrade to an Executive Room. With polished interiors, excellent soundproofing, and an impressive Executive Lounge featuring nightly fresh prawns and sparkling wine, this property delivers strong value in District 1.

The Novotel Phnom Penh BKK 1 located in one of Phnom Penh’s most trendy neighbourhoods is a great spot to stay in. Offering convenient access to Bassac Lane and great restaurants, the affordable hotel also features a solid Executive Lounge experience for ALL elite members.

Conveniently located within walking distance from Bali’s international terminal, the Novotel Bali Ngurah Rai Airport is an ideal transit hotel for travellers arriving late into Denpasar (DPS).

Hyatt Place Bangkok Sukhumvit 1 offers a fresh, modern stay in a quieter pocket of Sukhumvit. While the rooms are spacious and the pool area is a standout with a staffed bar and happy hour deals, the property is let down by poor noise isolation, a lack of universal power outlets, and basic dining options.

Hyatt House Tokyo Shibuya sets a new benchmark for the brand, offering an elevated extended-stay experience in one of Tokyo’s most energetic and connected neighbourhoods. While it may not be a luxury hotel by definition, this is without question one of the most stylish and well-appointed Hyatt House properties globally.

SO/ Auckland brings a bold, fashion-forward twist to the city’s hotel scene, offering a vibrant stay right in the heart of Auckland’s CBD. With its comfortable rooms, strong design identity, and convenient location near Britomart and the waterfront, the hotel delivers a solid option for travellers who want to be close to the action. Those with ALL Platinum status or higher will find the added benefits valuable, but for other travellers, it’s worth weighing up the price against the wider hotel options in the city.
