Let’s begin my Qool Weekend travelogue shall we?
** bear with me as this will be a lengthy post. Feel free to scroll to the preferable section which I have divided.
Since I was staying next hotel during the weekday, after my breakfast I move my luggage over to Quincy Hotel so I my luggage can be kept at that hotel while I head to my office. When I walk in I was politely greeted by the bell boy and also the staff on duty. It was a very warm welcome despite so early in the morning which is about 6am. I then ask if I could check in and wonder if my room is ready. To my surprise my room is READY for me to check in!! Sadly I have to rush to my office so I just walk in the room and lie on the bed for a minute!!! Man I wish I don’t need to get up!!!
There’s so many good thing I want to talk about this bed!! The pillow is so so fluffy and the softness and height is just right for me!! The mattress is layer with another layer of sponge a like sheet before they cover it with bed sheet. So when you lie on the bed you will feel the soft sponge feeling and the smooth cotton bed sheet can make one fall asleep real quick!! Okay I got up in shock when i see my watch it’s almost 6.30 pm. I have to take cab at 7am to my office and I have not taken my breakfast….So I bid goodbye to the bed and head to breakfast then to my office.
I can’t wait to head back to the hotel for dinner over some cocktail to get my Friday night started. I was lucky to able to finish meeting at 5pm. Quincy Hotel is located within 5minute walking distance from the famous premier shopping street the Orchard Road. Walking back to hotel you can expect to see a straight up steel alike building of Quincy Hotel with an outdoor green garden setup and a calm waterfall beside the dining area.
If you are driving or taking a cab back, you will be greeted by the friendly hotel staff and as you walk into the lobby you will be welcomed by the illuminating LED wall and the adorable egg shaped sofa with MAC play station.
This egg-sofa is my favourite place to hang around while I wait for cab to arrive…You need not to stand and wait for the cab..Just tell the staff, sit tight and read some magazine and the cab will be here in no time.
Let me bring you back to the sleek & contemporary design room!! Let’s go to my favourite part of the room the bath room!! Enclosed inside the bath room is the separate deep bath tub with flexible shower head!!! This is one of the best bath tub I soaked in so far!!! Let me tell you why!!! First I ain’t petite in size so those short and shallow bath tub is a turned-off. It become worst when the water take forever to filled up!!! Bath tub in my studio room in Quincy Hotel is totally different! The ceramic white bath tub come in a huge rectangle shape with depth sufficient to cover my body till my neck level and a little extra space on both side which other hotel’s bath tub that I’ve been will never have. The flexible shower head help bubble making so easy!! The HOT & high water flow get extra point from me!! Another point for this bathroom because it is enclosed in a glass panel instead of a solid wall so I can watch TV while I soak in my bath tub! Don’t worry you can always put down the blind if you do not want you partner to peek while you shower..hehe…Sorry for the long paragraph only on bath tub!!! Muahahaha…I am a bath tub fanatic fan!!! or you can call me the Bath Tub Queen!
Nah show you my bath tub selfie moment!!!I wish to take nicer picture but my mobile phone timer is not long enough for me to pose…. If you see in the picture I am having ice cream while soaking in bath tub!! The ice cream is available during lunch & dinner (more later)!
After soaking you can move to the left for a shower to wash away the bubbles…. You can opt for the flexible shower head or the fixed shower head from the top!!! I like the one from top!!The water that flow on top of my head just feel so good!
Quincy provide premium bath & body product from Molton Brown so you don’t have to worry the product will damage your hair and skin!
This bar soap is my favourite! I don’t know how to put in word but the curve edge and the soapy feeling of this soap is really nice to hold and use.
The toilet bowl come with function to automatically wash your butt after you poo…Hahaha… I personally love the unique sink design!!!
Okay enough of bath room let’s move to other part of the room! The wardrobe just located beside the bathroom and sharing door with the bathroom.
If you close the bathroom door then your wardrobe is open air and if you prefer your cloths to be enclosed just open the bathroom door. The room interior not the most spacious i have been but it’s perfectly fine for me..I don’t need spacious room cause I am not going to do big movement in the room too…As long as there sufficient path way it’s all good!!! Room come with a 42-inch flat panel cable TV, super huge one!!
Do you know on Saturday morning I just lie on the bed and watch TV for hours before I check out?? The bed is so comfy and the huge TV make a great combo for me to chill and relax. Checkout below video of me lazing on my bed! Hahaha..
Did I mention the mini bar is complimentary and it will be refill daily? So snack away with your favourite show! It’s not just a room but a mini lounge I feel…. Everything is provided in the room just name it, there is snacks, chilled can drinks, hot drinks or even fruit juices (you call to room service and request them to bring to your room). Sometime I hate hotel that provide only two bottle of mineral water which will never be sufficient especially for 2 pax..Most of the time I have go out and buy my own!! You don’t have to worry this at Quincy they will quench your thirst wherever you are as along as you are inside Quincy Hotel area (at the swimming pool, gym and lobby).
Oh yes if you need to play some song in the room just insert your IPod or IPhone in the Philips IPod Dock provided in the room!
or just sit at the corner long sofa to read some book or play with your phone or laptop overseeing the city view from the glass panel!
I’m not going to talk about the bed as I already did in previous paragraph!
The room feature simple yet sleek design with mirror at almost every corner!! This is really great for me as i can do make up while watching TV or just any where in the room! No need to share mirror with my partner!ha-ha….
I am really hungry after taking pictures of the room (what I usually do when I first check in my room before I mess up the bed!) Let’s go down for some dinner. Just now I mentioned you will never feel thirsty in Quincy and I tell you now that you will not feel hungry at all!! In fact, Quincy will ensure your tummy is constantly full!! From 12pm to 8pm you get to dine in with tapas,cold cuts, muffin, scones, pasta and many more brought to you by Dean & Deluca & Modesto’s.
Here is what dinner has to offer…
You also can order cocktails, beer, white wine, red wine, vodka, whisky, rum, gin all inclusive in your package from 6pm onwards!!
The only time that I went out is at night for a drink with my friend at a pub near Orchard Road. I cannot recall the name, bad memory. When we reach back hotel we continue to drink the red wine provided by the hotel!! I did not take any picture of it cause I feel little dizzy and then pass out till the next morning! One of the best sleep ever!!
Woke up around 9 am in the morning and went down for breakfast. Quincy serve simple but complete breakfast. You can opt for the English style breakfast sausages, bacon and egg or can go for the local ones like porridge, fried rice and roti canai. For those who like simple breakfast you can opt for breads, pastry, cereals and fruits. I always go for English and egg is a must!! Complete my breakfast with a cup of Latte and apple juice!
The energy builder! Clockwise: Roti Canai, Mac Cheese & Scrambled Egg, Fried Rice & Samosa and Sausages & Bacon
After breakfast I went back to the room and watch TV till I check out at 3pm. Late checkout is the additional perks Quincy provide so you can have more time to spend in the room!! I take the time to soak in the bath tub for one last time too!! Haha….
In between I did take time to go for a quick swim then head for lunch before i went up again for movie. I also bring some food up so I can lie on bed and enjoy the food!!!
This salad deserve a stand alone picture because it is so so delicious..The thousand island dressing is so tasty, strong flavour and creamy. Can you see the raw button mushroom?? I have never ate a raw button mushroom before!! It tasted weird by itself but very good when coat with the dressing and bite with the salad leave along.
This is chicken kuey teow in Vietnamese style. The piping hot soup warmed up my hungry tummy after I went for a short swim earlier! The smooth kuey teow is really slurpworthy!!
The big slices of solid lemon cake taste really citrusy and sweet on the top skin because of the icing sugar. I think the cake is too big..If they cut it into half then I might be able to finish it!
My favourite is this sundae station!! Available during lunch and dinner! Who will say no to cup of sundae filled with chocolate syrup and toppings?
Is your tummy feeling happy after reading my post? Let me show you the place where I worked out!!!
Do you know the fitness centre and swimming pool in Quincy is open 24/7?? I always feel disappointed when i reach hotel at night the pool is closed!! At Quincy you can swim and work out your body any time of the day!
One of the attraction in this hotel is the Glass Panel Infinity Pool!! Now dip into this pool and get a refreshing swim while you admire the skyline view of Singapore city in the water because the swimming pool is enclosed in glass panel.
After a intense workout, you can restore your energy with isotonic drink or just grab a coffee at the bar by the pool. Yes it is also inclusive in your package… This bar is accessible from the gym too. if you are very hungry then you just need to take the lift down to Ground Floor and fill up your tummy with the all day food supplies by Dean & Delucas.
The Fitness centre is equipped with a wide range of free weights and multimedia stations.
After workout you can also enjoy the steam room and sauna facilities located just few step away from the swimming pool and gym. You can also take a shower at the designated bathroom.
This is almost the end of this post as we move in to the last part of this Quincy Hotel Review which is the Qool Weekend Activity!
Out of three I only managed to join one because I checkout on Saturday evening. I join the couple Art Jamming. Art Jamming is actually a Acrylic Painting session. It is guided by a professional artist and we can draw anything we have in mind.
I take approximately one hour to complete my cherry blossom….
Below is picture of me and the professional artist who teach us how to paint! Sorry I forget his name…. but he is very talented, he showed some of his painting which look so real and beautiful!
There is also movie by the pool at night and cupcake baking class on Sunday. This is the two activities I missed out…Really wish to try them on my next visit!!
I really enjoy this staycation to the max and I was really sad to have to leave so early!!How I wish I can stay for another night!! I really looking forward to return for another staycation. This hotel is suitable for those who are on business trip or just for leisure! The add on benefits on the package is really amazing. Never in my life that I choose to stay in hotel instead of visiting other places outside the hotel!! I highly recommend you to book a staycation in Quincy Hotel the next time you are i Singapore and for those who need a short holiday that is not too far and wanted to have a relaxing vacation Quincy Hotel is your choice!!
Let me summarize what I love after this staycation and why you should choose Quincy Hotel!!

what a marvelous place to stay! I wish Malaysian hotels can look to this standard and start giving us customers what we deserve after paying so mahal. I agree with you about the "only 2 bottles of mineral water" part. even worse, most of them bukan bagi mineral water, but they give drinking/reverse osmosis water instead, blerghh.
cindy tong (cindysplanet.com)
yes yes other hotel should really learn to provide this kind of concept!!in addition the 24/7 gym and swimming pool access is a marvelous idea!!because most of the time I reach hotel very very late!!and the bath tub is like a big heaven for me because it fit me so well!!! and many many more i just cant say enough how good is the hotel!!i totally feel the value you pay is very worth it!
Mieza Everdeen
haah, those 24/7 facilities mmg bagus. kebanyakan hotels in malaysia, after 7pm or 10pm they already close everything. even my previous condo pun close the swimming pool at night wtf =_='' aww i know that you're a bath tub queen, you really love lepak2 in there with all the bath bombs from Lush kan :p
cindy tong (cindysplanet.com)

cindy tong (cindysplanet.com)

The modern decor is nothing new, especially in Sg. But it's so cool that there are 24h facilities and cool activities plus, DEAN & DELUCA's!! You lost me at that part! All Molton Brown toiletries! And all the complimentary goodies!
I can definitely see this as an awesome place for a Hen's Getaway! Thanks for sharing babe!
Nikki Ooi
Yes. That's what sets it apart from other hotels! And they have tubs too!
mollymia
i've had a staycation at quincy last yr! really nice place with awesome service from the staff! it was the first time i ever had a staff giving us a tour of the pretty small room and explaining to us the appliance functionality and such. plus, it's actually a boutique hotel so the decor is pretty awesome too! they're also won some awards on trip advisors and is featured on CNN Travel as one of the 10 best hotels! 🙂
but like most new hotels, they're constructed with dry wall partition, so acoustic is really bad. my friends and i were chatting rather enthusiastically past 12 MN, and the guests next door actually banged on the wall to get us to shut up. =.="

mollymia
ooh, my staycation was a hen's night too. it's okay if the plan is to retire early at night. else too much activities in the room will get you angry neighbours banging on the partition walls.
