Still, the iconic hotel soldiers on, even though it closed earlier this year for three months and turned on the lights just for the nightly #SGUnited show. Now, it\u2019s back in all its majestic glory, welcoming guests into its hallowed hallways once again. What\u2019s it like having a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/hotels-singapore-staycation\/\">staycation<\/a> at Marina Bay Sands, you ask? We tell all from our experience\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>It&#8217;s about cleanliness and safety<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_228740\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-228740\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-228740 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-sg-heart-shutterstock-900x643.png\" alt=\"marina bay sands | staycation\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-sg-heart-shutterstock-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-sg-heart-shutterstock-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-sg-heart-shutterstock.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-228740\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">These lights will guide you home&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Worried about the crowds? Fret not. Marina Bay Sands is an SG Clean certified hotel that regularly cleans and sanitises its public spaces and high-touch contact surfaces. Hospital-grade disinfectants are used and deep cleaning procedures are frequently carried out. The staff also do their best to minimise any physical interactions, using contactless payment systems and services.<\/p>\n<p>As for the check-in process, it\u2019s pretty fuss-free. Just secure your registration time by sending a message 24 hours beforehand. You\u2019ll get to choose your staggered check-in slot and arrive just in time for that. (We&#8217;d suggest you make use of the system to avoid the crowds.) Wanna skip the line completely? Book a club room or suite so you can head to a private check-in area and enjoy complimentary drinks while you wait. The process for us was easy and breezy!<\/p>\n<p>All three towers are now open, though with reduced capacity due to safe management measures. And the hotel is strict about it \u2013 we had to scan our room card and tell them our room number every single time we wanted to access the lift lobby. When you head out, they\u2019ll also take note of your room number and how many people have exited. So you can\u2019t have social gatherings exceeding the limit.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_228741\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-228741\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-228741 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-rooftop-pool-shutterstock.png\" alt=\"marina bay sands | staycation\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-rooftop-pool-shutterstock.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-rooftop-pool-shutterstock-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-rooftop-pool-shutterstock-768x549.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-228741\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Look at that sweet, sweet sunset.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That also means you have to book your infinity pool slot way in advance (each room gets one hour per day) and hope you get the popular 6.30pm timing before it\u2019s all snapped up. Luckily, we got the sunset slot \u2013 the views were exquisite and the pool wasn&#8217;t too crowded, thanks to social distancing.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of hitting the gym? Don&#8217;t forget to send a text to get your queue number before you head over. We were a tad impatient to wait for our turn, so we ended up going for a run around the bay instead. Admittedly, these are extra, not-so-fun steps, but we reckon it\u2019ll be worth the hassle. Better safe than sorry, as they say! Plus, it\u2019s refreshing to enjoy a hotel\u2019s facilities without the usual throngs of people.<\/p>\n<h3>Go ahead, admire the view from above<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_228748\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-228748\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-228748 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-room-900x643.png\" alt=\"marina bay sands room staycation\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-room-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-room-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/marina-bay-sands-room.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-228748\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Check out the deluxe room with a city view. Photography: Marina Bay Sands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once you\u2019re all sorted out, head to your room and marvel at the scenic sight you\u2019ve chosen. Room types and rates vary, but all of them offer gorgeous views of Marina Bay and the twinkling city skyline or Gardens by the Bay and the glittering South China Sea. Whichever you pick, it\u2019s bound to be a spectacular floor-to-ceiling marvel. (Seriously, we could get used to this.)<\/p>\n<p>Each room comes with a wellness amenity kit offering a bottle of hand sanitiser, surface disinfectant and keychain for contactless use (it\u2019s especially useful when you\u2019re pressing lift buttons). Granted, the rooms may be slightly worn in some places \u2013 the hotel&#8217;s 10 years old, after all \u2013 but they make for a comfortable stay.<\/p>\n<p>To help you sleep easy at night, you\u2019ll be happy to know that all towels and bathrobes are washed at high temperatures and wrapped securely in plastic straight from the laundromat. Even the TV remote is cling wrapped to prevent bits of food or germs from getting stuck in those tiny holes. Essentially, Marina Bay Sands covers all its bases, so we were able to relax and unwind in peace.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to eat and drink<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_228539\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-228539\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-228539 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/yardbird-chicken-and-waffles-900x643.png\" alt=\"yardbird chicken and waffles\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/yardbird-chicken-and-waffles-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/yardbird-chicken-and-waffles-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/yardbird-chicken-and-waffles.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-228539\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Check out Yardbird&#8217;s signature dish.

Besides all the beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-marina-bay-restaurants\/\">Marina Bay restaurants<\/a> you\u2019re surrounded by, the integrated resort itself is home to plenty of options, from affordable to luxurious. So you\u2019re a fan of fried chicken? Don\u2019t miss out on Yardbird Southern Table &amp; Bar. With delectable dishes like its famous chicken and watermelon and waffles, alongside smoked pork ribs and mac and cheese, you\u2019ll be stuffed before you know it. In the best way possible, of course.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not keen on the hotel\u2019s standard breakfast spread, we say drop in on Gorden Ramsay\u2019s Bread Street Kitchen for your morning meal. With waterfront views of the city and brekkie dishes such as eggs benny, English breakfast, smoked salmon bagel and beef brisket sandwich, it was a lovely way to start our day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_228742\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-228742\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-228742 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/mott32-dining-room-900x643.png\" alt=\"mott32 dining room\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/mott32-dining-room-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/mott32-dining-room-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/mott32-dining-room.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-228742\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mott 32 in all its glory.

It was a pleasant surprise to find out little-known tidbits about the artworks and how they support its earth-conscious efforts.
