We started our day with a spa treatment at Chinois Spa which is based at The Legends, a function centre adjacent to the hotel. We both had the “imperial” which was a body scrub, soak and massage over 2hrs. I always think a massage is a good way to start the year! This was no exception and was well received after a little to much bubbly last night. We also got a 25% discount as hotel guests.
When we returned to Hotel Fort Canning, our room had been changed and they had moved all our luggage. I wrote a negative trip advisor review about the hallway noise (which seemed unusual for a 5 Star resort) and the guest manager approached me to arrange a room swap and to personally apologise for his staff being far too noisy when the door soundproofing – based on their code restrictions from the heritage listing -is…well….a bit shit. As part of the apology, they offered a room upgrade.
After the spa and luggage shift it was nap time (for B) and bath time for me. Do you know what makes a deep soak tub better? Reece’s Pieces! 
We had booked evening drinks at Spago Bar and Lounge. This was a suggestion I came across when reading really negative things about the observation deck at Marina Bay Sands. We tried to go up a few days ago but the line was insane. Basically, lots of things I read said we were better off booking in at Spago Bar and Lounge, spending $26 on a cocktail instead of an entry fee to the sky deck and enjoying that view. What a view it is!! It even includes the pool. There’s no fee to book but you are required to purchase something from the menu – they have cocktails (yum), mocktails, soft drinks, wine, hard booze and food.
HFC perk 5: when you get upset about stuff they actually fix it. Hooray for a 5 Star Hotel! Also, after going to MBS and riding in the lifts you don’t have to fight for lift space along with 65 other people here 🙂
