Life in Singapore for parents usually looks like this: get the kids ready for school, head to work, sort out dinner, put them to bed, and then repeat it all the next day. To that, we say thank goodness for the advent of staycations in Singapore! No need for any travel planning; sometimes a hotel getaway right in your backyard can make all the difference–at least, that’s how it’s like when you stay at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore.

The hotel underwent a major glow-up that was completed in 2023, and today, its rooms boast high-tech and eco-friendly features with sleek and modern designs. Pair that with gorgeous views of the Singapore River, a convenient location and curated experiences, and you’ve got yourself a family escape to remember. Read on to find out what you can expect with Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore’s Glamping Under The Stars experience.

Kids’ glamping experience with family-friendly amenities

There’s no going wrong with an in-room glamping experience for the kiddos! The Glamping Under The Stars experience comes with a cushy tent adorned with fairy lights made just for kids to have a mini escape right in the comfort of your room! Kids can lay down on the soft cushion and gaze at the colourful stars dancing across the ceiling and walls from the starry projector that’s provided in-room.

The experience comes with plenty of in-room activities for the family, too, such as a Snake and Ladders game and a storybook torch the kids can busy themselves with. Kids also get an otter plushie–Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore’s adorable little mascot. In-room welcome snacks and a turn-down service that includes milk for the kids and a pre-bedtime bite complete the experience.

The glamping experience comes in the spacious 36-square-meter Premier Rooms. All of the rooms at the hotel are kitted out with an A.I. assistant that can help you with just about anything in your room, from adjusting the lights and air conditioning to calling room service. We also love that each room has a filtered water tap for unlimited hydration, an eco-friendly alternative to water bottles. And of course, you can enjoy the hotel’s facilities such as the swimming pool, outdoor jacuzzi and fitness centre, plus free yoga sessions for guests!
