Hotel Jen Orchardgateway, an enjoyable Family Staycation right in the heart of Orchard Road

What a great way to end a hectic and fulfilling year, an enjoyable staycation right in the heart of Orchard Road! Our Parenting World team checked into Hotel Jen Orchardgateway during the Christmas season and we had a wonderful time at this awesome hotel. 

Hotel Jen group is part of the Shangri-La Hotel group family. Their range of hotels is generally 4 stars compared to the Shangri-La hotels’ 5 stars rating but from what we experienced at Hotel Jen, we have no doubt their services, quality of facilities and food etc. are comparable to many of the 5 Stars hotels in Singapore but their prices are more afforable. Furthermore, Hotel Jen Orchardgateway is located right in the centre of Orchard Road above the MRT Station, not many hotels have such excellent location in Singapore. It is surrounded with shopping malls, cafes and restaurants, interconnected to Orchard Central just next to 313@Somerset and opposite of CentrePoint Shopping mall. It is so convenient! 

The hotel recently launched their Deluxe Family Room and our family staycation was in one of these rooms. Upon arrival, we checked into our room and were surprised at how spacious the room is, we were so pleased with the super comfy king-sized bed and 1 huge sofa bed. The room is stylish, comfortable, brightly-lit and very cosy. Our two active boys simply love staying in the room. 

The smart en-suite bathroom is also spacious, it must be one of the largest one that we have stayed consisting of a shower, bath, filled with soft, fluffy towels and toiletries with ample space for the whole family to move around in the bathroom. 

Total size of the room is 47 sqm, it has a tea and coffee station, 40-inch Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) system and comes well-equipped with steam iron, ironing board, hairdryer, PressReader with access to over 7,000 newspapers and magazines, international direct dialling service, electronic safe and more. There are vending machines located within the hotel if you need something to snack on. 

You are able to do your reading or work on this large executive writing desk facing a full length windows and enjoy the scenery at the same time. Hotel guests are entitled to free and fast WiFi to keep you connected.

If you are feeling hungry and don’t wish to leave your comfortable hotel room, 24-hour in-room order-in service is available.

One other thing that really stands out with our family staycation at Hotel Jen Orchardgateway is everyone working in the hotel whom we met, from the reception check-in to the lifeguard at the swimming pool to the chef at the restaurant always gave us an enthusiastic warm smile and they are always helpful!
