 The standard room offers ample space suitable for solo adventurers or romantic getaways. It features an ergonomic workspace near the window with a desk and swivel chair adjacent to a compact couch—a cozy spot ideal for those too tired from travel to change out of their clothes immediately post-flight. For Filipinos, this might mean needing up to three hours of downtime after enduring two to three additional hours of layover time at the bustling Manila airport.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CkNGT" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CkNGT.jpg"/>

 The area designated for the minibar, along with the coffee machine and free coffee pods, is provided. Items typically found in hotels such as the safety deposit box, hairdryers, and even the ironing board are discreetly placed so they blend seamlessly into the overall decor. Behind the TV, you'll find the hanging space for clothes.

 The bathroom is opulent, featuring large and chic mirrors along with a spacious tub. This makes it an ideal spot for unwinding post-mercantile expedition. Allow your weary arms, burdened by shopping bags, to luxuriate in relaxation within the bath as you leisurely browse through Instagram or TikTok using just your fingertips.


 There is an individual shower equipped with large bottles of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. You can find the toiletry kits next to the sink. The hotel provides soft and fluffy slippers for your use.

<h2>
 What to do
</h2>

 Well, shopping, of course.

 Orchard Road is a renowned shopping hub in Singapore, and the Hilton Singapore Orchard finds itself right at the heart of this area. You can choose from various upscale boutiques such as
 
 Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany & Co., Cartier,
 
 and
 
 Prada,
 
 Among others located at ION Orchard, head to the well-known department store Takashimaya. Explore more than 80 Singaporean fashion and lifestyle labels here as well.

 If you're into Singaporean brands like
 
 Love, Bonito, The Editor’s Marketplace,
 
 and
 
 Beyond the Vines,
 
 You may still wish to check out their branches locally even though they have locations in the Philippines; they could offer special deals.
 
 The Paper Bunny
 
 , which currently does not have a branch in the Philippines (...yet), can also be accessed through this location. This means you could visit TPB in person rather than checking out their products online. We also spotted aNikeand anApplestorefrom one of the windows atEstate,the hotel's 24-hour dining area.


 Inside the Hilton, you'll find the Mandarin Gallery, a high-end four-story shopping complex.


 Although you have access to numerous locations via the Orchard MRT station, booking a Grab remains an option whenever your final stop isn’t within walking distance, particularly once the train services cease operations for the night.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CkEoC" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CkEoC.jpg"/>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CkLvh" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CkLvh.jpg"/>

 Starting from the hotel to Universal Studios Singapore, a JustGrab ride costs roughly S$16.69, equivalent to about P711.41. On the other hand, for those heading directly to Changi, the fare would be around S$22.56, translating to approximately P961.99—this was based on our last check at least.

<h2>
 Where to eat
</h2>

 Inside the premises, you have five dining choices available around the clock, from morning till evening. These include an all-day buffet option.
 
 Estate
 
 , featuring chefs' specialties, top-tier carvings, and a vast seafood station. The venue operates from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. For those who enjoy fine dining, they serve authentic Italian-Californian classics here.
 
 Osteria Mozza.
 


 Feeling hungry for some Szechuan food? You could stop by
 
 Shisen Hanten,
 
 A restaurant adorned with one MICHELIN star, overseen by Chef Chen Kentaro. If you're looking for an relaxing experience during your afternoon tea, enjoy handcrafted cakes and bespoke cocktails at this spot.

Ho Chi Minh City Faces Soaring Costs and Hotel Sellouts Ahead of April 30 Holiday

Unknown flights, hotels, tourists, travel, vietnam

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Cl9ch" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Cl9ch.jpg"/>

 The cost of flights from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City has risen by approximately 15% since last year, and numerous hotels are completely reserved due to an influx of tourists planning to visit the city for the approaching April 30 celebration.


 Thanh Luân, who hails from Hanoi but works in Ho Chi Minh City, mentioned that he intended to bring his extended family of ten people down from the northern region for the five-day celebration marking both Vietnam’s Reunification Day and Labor Day. The festivities run from April 30 through Sunday, May 5, and Thanh Luân was looking forward to witnessing a spectacular military procession along with various nationwide events commemorating half a century since the nation's unification.


 Luán attempted to reserve hotel rooms for early April but found it challenging to locate available options. He mentioned that places offering lower rates usually didn’t align with his standards of comfort and cleanliness, whereas more upscale lodgings within his budget range were all taken.

 “Securing a room is tough enough, but obtaining air tickets proves to be twice as challenging, with prices being extremely steep,” Luan commented.


 A survey conducted
 
 by
 VnExpress
 
 suggested that numerous travelers began their trip planning at the start of this year, with the busiest travel days stretching from April 27, which is the Sunday preceding the holiday, through May 4. During this timeframe, airfare prices have risen significantly in comparison to earlier weeks.


 By April 2nd, return tickets from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City were priced anywhere from roughly VND4.7 million (USD$200) for overnight journeys up to VND6.5 million for peak evening flights over the holidays. During normal days in April, these prices usually fluctuate within the range of VND4-4.5 million.


 Data from the Vietnamese travel agency Best Price indicates that airfares reached their peak on April 28 because of increased demand. Year-over-year, ticket costs for flights between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have risen approximately 10-15%.


 A Best Price spokesperson noted that with fewer available flights and higher demand, ticket prices have increased.


 Agencies in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have observed that travelers predominantly favor departures on the evening of April 26 or the morning of April 27. Some flights operated by Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet are almost entirely reserved at these times. Since early March, airlines have seen a significant increase in bookings during this period.


 Nonetheless, certain travelers who made reservations prior to March found themselves paying fares comparable to today’s rates. Minh Duc, from Hanoi, secured his flight tickets 45 days ahead to join the parade. Despite these tickets costing him VND4.3 million—which was akin to prevailing prices at present—he felt content with having locked down an earlier reservation for greater assurance and improved travel arrangements.

 Hotel rooms in HCMC are also filling up quickly.


 VnExpress
 's April 2 survey of online booking platforms like Booking and Traveloka showed limited availability in central districts such as District 1, District 3, and Phu Nhuan for stays between April 27 and May 4. Many downtown homestays are also fully booked.


 Thi Quoc Duy, Director of the Independent Travel Center at BenThanh Tourist, said one of BenThanh Group’s five hotels is already fully booked, and the remaining properties are expected to reach full occupancy about two weeks before the holiday.


 A representative from the 4-star Kim Do Royal Hotel Saigon said their 127 rooms, priced from VND2.3 million per night, were fully booked a month ago. Similarly, Tan Son Nhat Hotel in Phu Nhuan District reported being fully booked from April 15 to May 20. Hotel representatives noted that most reservations were made in mid-March by tour groups and individual guests booking via online platforms.


 Nguyen Tran Phuong Uyen, a hotel sales consultant with over 10 years of experience, observed that before the pandemic, travelers typically preferred vacationing away from urban areas. However, an increasing number of people, especially younger travelers, now choose city breaks. The many planned events for the April 30 holiday have significantly driven up demand for accommodation in HCMC.

Libur Idul Fitri, Okupansi Hotel di Bandung Bertambah di Hari Kedua Lebaran

Unknown events and festivals, hotels, indonesia, news

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1rRucp" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1rRucp.jpg"/>

 Bandung
 
 
 - Tingkat keterisian atau okupansi
 
 hotel
 
 berbintang tiga sampai lima di Kota Bandung bergerak naik saat musim liburan Idul Fitri 2025. Menurut Ketua Riung Priangan Arief Bonafianto, mulai hari kedua Idul Fitri okupansi berkisar 75-80 persen. “Dua hari sebelumnya antara 65-75 persen, mudah-mudahan terus naik sampai akhir pekan ini,” katanya kepada Tempo, Selasa 1 April 2025.


 Adapun masa tinggal tamu hotel menurutnya relatif singkat, rata-rata sekitar 1,8 hari. Riung Priangan merupakan komunitas yang beranggotakan manajer umum dari 96 hotel di
 
 Bandung
 
 . “Tipikal libur Lebaran tahun ini lebih pendek orang-orang berlibur di Bandung,” ujarnya. Adapun pada libur Lebaran 2024, rata-rata tamu bisa menginap di hotel selama tiga hari.


 Sementara itu, waktu
 
 libur Lebaran
 
 Tahun ini periode cuti bersama mencapai tanggal 8 April 2025, sehingga membuat masa liburan menjadi lebih lama. Menurut dugaan Arief, sebagian besar pengunjung yang datang ke Bandung mungkin akan melanjutkan petualangan mereka dengan menghabiskan waktu istirahat di tempat lain atau hal tersebut bisa juga disebabkan oleh kondisi finansial pribadi mereka. Mengenai harga kamar hotel di Bandung, ia menyatakan bahwa biayanya tidak jauh berbeda dibandingkan saat hari akhir pekan.


 Secara keseluruhan, menurut Arief, situasi industri perhotelan di Bandung pada periode liburan Idulfitri kali ini mengalami penurunan. Pada tahun sebelumnya, mulai dari satu hari sebelum lebaran, tingkat hunian telah mencapai lebih dari 85%. Sedangkan selama tiga hari pertama setelah lebaran, angkanya berada dalam kisaran 95-97% per harinya. Ratarata durasi masa inap tamu adalah sekitar dua setengah hari. "Harga kamarnya pun jadi lebih murah, dengan penurunan tarif sebesar kurang lebih 25% dibandingkan tahun kemarin," ungkap Arief.


 Menurut dia, tingkat okupansi hotel di Bandung ketika liburan Lebaran tahun ini cukup serupa dengan periode liburan Natal dan Tahun Baru 2025. Di malam Natal, kata Arief, angkanya berada di kisaran 40-60%. Kemudian dari Hari Natal sampai menjelang Tahun Baru 2025, jumlah pengunjung bertambah sehingga hunian kamar dapat mencapai 80-90%, dengan rata-rata durasi menginap selama dua hari.


 Pada liburan Tahun Baru kemarin, tingkat hunian hotel di Bandung diduga merosot. Menurut Arief tahun 2024 silam, reservasi kamar hotel mencapai angka 95% sampai lima hari sebelumnya. Namun untuk perayaan Tahun Baru saat ini, jumlah pesanan turun mendekati separuhnya dibandingkan periode tersebut. Sebagian besar pelanggan yang telah membooking ruangan hanya akan menginap selama satu malam saja.
 Berbanding terbalik dengan situasi di Bandung yang tampak lesu dalam hal penjualan kamar hotel, beberapa wilayah lain di Indonesia justru tampil positif. Misalnya, Jawa Tengah dan Yogyakarta melaporkan keadaan lebih baik sesuai informasi dari teman-temannya.

Okupansi Hotel Bali 55%, Pengusaha Taksi Ini Sebut Penyebabnya: Ekonomi yang Melamban

Unknown business, hotels, indonesia, local news

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CbS5r" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CbS5r.jpg"/>

 
 DIWIDA
 
 Ketua Perhimpunan Hotel dan Restoran Indonesia (PHRI) Bali, Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardana Sukawati atau yang biasa dikenal sebagai Cok Ace mengungkapkan bahwa tingkat hunian ratarata hotel di Bali saat liburan Lebaran tahun 2025 baru mencapai angka 50-55%.


 Dia menganggap bahwa efisiensi anggaran kementerian dan keadaan perekonomian dalam negeri menjadi faktor utama penurunan tingkat hunian hotel di Bali.


 "Berdasarkan pengalaman cuti Idulfitri tahun lalu, kita berhasil meraih okupansi sekitar 80-85 persen," ungkap Cok Ace ketika diwawancara oleh DIWIDA pada hari Rabu, tanggal 2 Maret 2025.


 Maka, jika kita melihat ke tingkat okupansi kamar hotel saat liburan Idulfitri, masih belum sesuai dengan tujuan yang diinginkan.


 Pada saat yang sama, di sejumlah tempat wisata favorit, penghuni hotel tetap melebihi rata-rata untuk seluruh Bali. Meskipun demikian, masih ada cukup banyak kamar kosong di berbagai properti tersebut.


 Misalnya di Sanur, tingkat hunian hotel mencapai 80-85%. Di Ubud, angkanya berkisar antara 70-75%. Untuk daerah Nusa Dua, tingkat huniannya telah menyentuh 70%, sementara itu di Kuta berada pada kisaran 70-75%.


 Di luar keempat tempat tujuan yang terkenal itu, Cok Ace menunjukkan bahwa masih ada banyak penginapan di area-area lain di Bali.

 Cok Ace mengatakan ada beberapa faktor yang membuat tingkat hunian hotel di Bali tidak memenuhi target selama liburan Idulfitri kali ini.


 Satu di antaranya adalah kebijakan pemerintah mengenai efisiensi anggaran yang turut diprotes oleh sejumlah pemilik hotel.


 belum termasuk pula kemunculan vila-vila baru yang semakin berlimpah serta situasi finansial negeri pada masa kini.


 "Cara pandang para pengusaha terhadap perjalanan bisnis turut dipengaruhi oleh kondisi perekonomian dalam negeri," ujar Cok Ace.


 Di samping itu, terdapat juga beberapa faktor lainnya, yaitu kondisi iklim yang ekstrim serta perpotongan antara hari libur Idulfitri tahun 2025 dengan hari raya Nyepi.


 Hari Raya Nyepi tahun 2025 akan dirayakan pada tanggal 29 Maret, sedangkan Idul Fitri dijadwalkan untuk tiba pada 31 Maret 2025. Keduanya berdekatan hanya selisih dua hari.


 Walaupun hotel di Bali masih berfungsi saat Nyepi, kegiatan para pengunjung yang tinggal di sana cukup dibatasi karena dilarang melakukan aktifitas di luar area hotel.

 Before it opens its doors on March 14, 2025, here’s everything you need to know about Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab
 
 
 <h2>
 A quick overview
 </h2>
 <h3>
 The design
 </h3>
 
 Designed by acclaimed architect Shaun Killa, the new resort’s design takes inspiration from an avant-garde super yacht.
 
 
 The fluid lines on the building mimic the graceful movement of a yacht gliding through the ocean. When guests arrive at the hotel, they will notice a striking arch entrance perfectly framing the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab.
 
 <h3>
 The Rooms
 </h3>
 
 Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab will have 300 rooms and 86 suites, also reflecting its avant-garde super yacht-like exteriors. More precisely, the stylish rooms are inspired by Italy’s legendary Riva boats. Think 60’s glamour, with the added bonus of an expansive terrace – perfect for soaking in breathtaking ocean views.
 
 
 The higher-end suites, such as the Presidential Suite, feature a private plunge pool, while the Royal Suite (which appears to seemingly float above the water) will feature a huge terrace with a plunge pool, with the option to expand into a multi-bedroom retreat of up to five connecting rooms. For further refined glamour, the Pearl Suite features an expansive, wrapped-around terrace with panoramic views.

The £1.6 billion 'tower of doom' hotel which has NEVER had a single guest is looking for new investment to open

 A North Korean hotel that has been under construction for almost four decades plans to operate a casino on the premises in the hopes of finally booking in its first guest.


 The Ryugyong Hotel, located in Pyongyang, is the tallest building in
 North Korea
 -standing 150 storeys high and 1,083 feet tall.


 Construction on the pyramid-shaped building began in 1987, and, had it been completed on schedule two years later, it would have opened as the world's tallest hotel.


 However, work was paused on the 'Hotel of Doom' in 1992 after North Korea entered a period of economic crisis following the collapse of the Soviet Union.


 A series of setbacks and delays ensued in the years that followed, including a 16-year pause on development and a number of contractors withdrawing from the project.


 Today, after 38 years, the hotel intends to welcome visitors by allowing them to run a casino within its premises, with the condition that the operator commits to finishing the construction of the building’s interior.


 The external structure was finished in 2011, yet the inside of the building, spanning an area of 360,000 square feet, still stands empty. However, LED screens displaying promotional messages have been set up along one part of the edifice, transforming it into what may be among the biggest digital billboards globally.


 A proposal to introduce a casino into the Ryugyong Hotel has been examined. The aim is to attempt drawing in foreign investments," shared a Pyongyang inhabitant with RFA Korean, according to reports.
 Radio Free Asia
 .

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Bel20" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Bel20.jpg"/>

 The review took place under the order of the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, who intends to take 'practical measures' to boost foreign tourism.


 The resident added: 'The authority to determine the location of the casino to be installed at the hotel and the right to operate the casino will be granted to a foreign entrepreneur who invests in the cost of internal construction.


 'This project was approved by the Central Committee after reviewing and discussing the profitability of the casino installed at the Yanggakdo Hotel, also in Pyongyang.'


 Having first opened its doors in 1998, The Yanggakdo is North Korea's first luxury hotel, and authorities now hope to emulate the success of its foreigners-only casino in the Ryugyong.


 Casinos are a lucrative venture for the North Korean government, as they siphon foreign currency from international visitors, according to a resident from North Pyongan.


 At present, the country operates two 'foreigners-only' casinos: at the Yanggakdo in Pyongyang, and the Bipa Hotel in the Rason Special Economic Zone, based in the northeast near the border with China and Russia.


 The resident said tourism is Pyongyang is 'expected to be revitalised' once the hotel's amenities, such as its restaurants, swimming pool and suites, are finally completed, adding: 'This is why overseas investment is desperately needed.'


 Despite plans to complete the hotel and welcome tourists,
 North Korea has put a sudden 'pause' on its Western tourist drive
 , just weeks after visitors entered the country for the first time in years.

 Travel groups offering Britons adventures inside the Hermit Kingdom report that trips to the port city of Rason have been put on hold after the country tentatively reopened its doors to foreign visitors last month.


 Young Pioneer Tours, a group that 'specialises in taking you to places your mother would rather you stay away from', advised holidaymakers to refrain from booking flights 'until we have more information' on Wednesday.


 'We have been advised by our partners in the DPRK that tours to Rason are currently paused,' they wrote in a post on Facebook. 'We are in the process of clarifying how this will impact your upcoming trips.'


 North Korea had sought to
 welcome foreign guests with new attractions in recent weeks
 , after shutting itself off at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Restrictions were eased in 2023, before Russian visitors were invited to visit last year.

 A North Korean hotel that has been under construction for nearly 40 years intends to open a casino on site with the hope of welcoming its inaugural visitor at last.


 The Ryugyong Hotel, situated in Pyongyang, stands as the tallest structure in North Korea.
 North Korea
 —rising to a height of 150 stories and standing at 1,083 feet tall.


 The construction of the pyramidal structure started in 1987, and if it had finished according to plan just two years afterward, it would have debuted as the globe’s highest hotel at the time.


 Nevertheless, work on the 'Hotel of Doom' came to a halt in 1992 when North Korea faced an economic crisis subsequent to the disintegration of the Soviet Union.


 Several obstacles and hold-ups occurred subsequently over the years, encompassing an 16-year halt in progress along with multiple suppliers opting out of the initiative.


 After 38 years, the hotel intends to welcome visitors by allowing the operation of a casino within its grounds. The condition for this is that the operator commits to finishing the construction of the building’s inside areas.


 The external structure was finished in 2011, yet the inside of the building, spanning an area of 360,000 square feet, still stands empty. However, LED screens displaying promotional messages have been set up along one wall of the edifice, turning it into what may be the biggest screen globally.

 The evaluation was conducted following an instruction from the nation's head, Kim Jong Un, who plans to implement 'concrete steps' to enhance international travel.


 The resident commented, "The power to decide where within the hotel the casino will be set up as well as the privilege to manage the casino operations will be bestowed upon an international investor who funds the interior development costs."


 The Central Committee gave approval for this project following an assessment and debate regarding the profits from the casino set up at the Yanggakdo Hotel, which is located in Pyongyang as well.


 Having first opened its doors in 1998, The Yanggakdo is North Korea's first luxury hotel, and authorities now hope to emulate the success of its foreigners-only casino in the Ryugyong.


 Casinos are a lucrative venture for the North Korean government, as they siphon foreign currency from international visitors, according to a resident from North Pyongan.


 At present, the country operates two 'foreigners-only' casinos: at the Yanggakdo in Pyongyang, and the Bipa Hotel in the Rason Special Economic Zone, based in the northeast near the border with China and Russia.


 The resident said tourism is Pyongyang is 'expected to be revitalised' once the hotel's amenities, such as its restaurants, swimming pool and suites, are finally completed, adding: 'This is why overseas investment is desperately needed.'


 Despite plans to complete the hotel and welcome tourists,
 North Korea has put a sudden 'pause' on its Western tourist drive
 , just weeks after visitors entered the country for the first time in years.

 Travel groups offering Britons adventures inside the Hermit Kingdom report that trips to the port city of Rason have been put on hold after the country tentatively reopened its doors to foreign visitors last month.


 Young Pioneer Tours, a group that 'specialises in taking you to places your mother would rather you stay away from', advised holidaymakers to refrain from booking flights 'until we have more information' on Wednesday.


 'We have been advised by our partners in the DPRK that tours to Rason are currently paused,' they wrote in a post on Facebook. 'We are in the process of clarifying how this will impact your upcoming trips.'


 North Korea has attempted to
 greet international visitors with fresh draws in the past few weeks
 After closing down at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, restrictions were relaxed in 2023. The country then extended an invitation to Russian tourists to visit the previous year.
