Heritage feast

It's a given—air tickets this festive time of year are a nightmare to snag, more so if Lunar New Year falls over a long weekend. Enter Mövenpick Heritage Hotel Sentosa, who although is gearing up for its grand opening at the end of the year with a fully renovated Heritage building, is currently offering guests the alternative of a staycation in its plush property.

Although another 61 rooms and suites are set to open in the course of this year, a Chinese New Year Staycation Package allows guests to experience rooms designed by internationally renowned Japanese firm Super Potato as early as now. Bonus: guests enjoy 20 percent off best available rates with every second room booked, as well as a 10 percent discount on the Chinese New Year Set Dinner offered at Linkbridge Restaurant. Located on the third floor of the Contemporary wing, it offers a special four-course dinner ($128 for 2 pax) daily till 6 February. Highlights include Salmon Yusheng, Treasure Pot Soup and Chinese Waxed Meat Rice.

Mövenpick Heritage Hotel Sentosa, 23 Beach View Sentosa. Tel: 6818 3388 or email hotel.sentosa@moevenpick.com. Offer is valid till 6th February. Rack rates from $680 a night for a deluxe room.
