Shangri-la Singapore lately reconfigured a few of its guestrooms within the Tower Wing to launch a brand new room class – the Horizon Membership Enterprise Room. These rooms tackle the identical barely diagonal + alcove format that sometimes distinguish rooms within the Tower Wing however with added furnishings appropriate for distant work thrown in. That is in distinction to the Valley Wing’s opulent type or the Backyard Wing’s resort aesthetics.
I lately stayed on the Shangri-la Singapore as a visitor of the lodge to take a look at this room class. As somebody who sometimes works on the go, I used to be curious to see how straightforward it was to work remotely from the lodge.

The management buttons by the mattress have been additionally up to date through the 2017 refurbishment to permit company to regulate the room lighting with out having to rise up.

Whereas many inns boast of ergonomic workplace chairs, having an omnidesk in a lodge room is a comparatively novel idea in Singapore and is an added plus for consolation and likewise fits those that desire to work whereas standing. The only cable that it took for the complete setup to work was additionally fairly spectacular. As per a random examine, the Horizon Membership Enterprise Room is pricing at a roughly S$47++ complement over a Horizon Membership Room and S$180++ complement over a Deluxe Room in the identical wing. In comparison with the usual Horizon Membership room, I feel the S$47++ complement is worth it if you’re planning on doing a variety of videoconferencing / working within the room. Whereas I recognize the bells and whistles that include a Horizon Membership entry, I additionally notice that there’s in all probability a bit of enterprise vacationers / work-cationers who would recognize the enterprise setup within the guestroom however have no need for night cocktails or all-day refreshments. On this sense, Shangri-la Singapore may additionally think about doing a variation of the Enterprise Room with out membership entry for that section.
I used to be a visitor of Shangri-la Singapore. All opinions are my very own.
