Had a chance to spend a night in Loft Gallery Room at M Social Hotel recently, and I must say that the room gave quite the cosy romantic vibe. Room size of about 22 m² is not that big if we think about it, but it has an illusion of space since the design is in loft style.
Read more about my first staycation experience at M Social's Alcove Room here, and this was the second night and had the opportunity to roll about in Loft Gallery Room. The difference between Loft Gallery and Premier Loft Room, is the bed location. Mine is at the lower floor, and most importantly, next to the washroom. Bed that is near the washroom is an important factor for me as I age.
The Loft Gallery Room was at Level 7.
Loft Gallery Room
beautiful room
Similar to Alcove Room, it has a double bed with fluffy pillows that guarantees a good night sleep. Noticeable differences are the bigger space, availability of Nespresso machine, leather couch upstairs, and a sleeker bathroom door. If you are going solo, Alcove Room is adequate but if you're a couple, then Loft Gallery Room or Premier Loft would suit the mood.
I love my Nespresson
My favourite is the Lungo
Arpeggio - intense
Similarly, the hotel had the Welcome Card and complimentary macarons ready in the room when you checked-in.

As usual, the sink is outside of the bathroom. There is a complimentary care pack placed next to the sink area.

When booking the room, one could opt for "Mix and Stay" package, the "Bottled Up Happiness Package" or the "Triple Treat Staycation", with varying prices. Be a My Millennium (the global guest loyalty programme of Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR)) member to enjoy discounted prices plus other benefits.
Did you know that My Millennium was recently crowned Best Loyalty Programme at the Loyalty & Engagement Awards 2020? Yes, it trumped shortlisted contenders from across South Asia,
Southeast Asia and ANZ regions to win Gold for Best Loyalty Programme – Travel/Hospitality and
Bronze in Best Regional Loyalty Campaign at the Loyalty & Engagement Awards (LEA) 2020 on 25
As part of the "Mix and Stay" package, guest could try their hands in making their own cocktail with Beast and Butterflies resident mixologist, Vladyslav Yesepiv. Guest would adjourn to the bar area to watch Vlad, demonstrates the basics of cocktail making and after which, it was up to us to dictate how our drink will turn out that night. Vodka as the base, with passionfruit liquer, and vanilla to mix. Nothing too complicated. And we got to play with 'fire' too.

After the workshop, guests could enjoy the cocktail that they had concocted as well as take the cocktail shaker home. Cocktail glass not included ya.
After the cocktail workshop, peruse the dinner menu at Beast & Butterflies which serves up delicious Modern Asian Cuisine. My personal favourite can be found here.
After dinner, please feel free to stroll around the hotel vicinity.

The "Bottled Up Happiness" package is another popular staycation package where one gets to "Create your Own Perfume" with Maison 21G Singapore. Of course, you can bring your own bottled perfume with your unique scents, home.

It was rather interesting to find out which scent suits my personality by taking an online quiz. Plus, there's a Day Scent as well as Night Scent. Wow. Pretty overwhelming!
Get busy in this workshop as you'll be curious to each of the suggested scents combination. A lot writing, spraying and sniffing.

Finally, decisions. That was the hardest part as there could be so many scents combination that you may find it to your liking.

Thank you M Social Hotel, Millennium Hotels and Resorts, Gilbert and JC for the invitation and hosting the staycation.
I enjoyed my stay in Loft Gallery Room for its cosy compact design and good quality beddings. Shower strength was good and hot water comes about pretty quickly. Pro-tip: Keep the water running if you're lathered up otherwise, you may not be able to turn on the water in the shower with soapy hands.
In-room coffee (Nespresso) was good and recommend to get the breakfast with the room. Breakfast is of ala-carte buffet style, so one could eat to their fill. The eggs, and salad were really good. Not forgetting the cut fruits. I tried the nasi lemak and the sambal was nicely fragrant and not so spicy. Rice was served warm and loved the crunchy peanuts. Pro-tip: Do let the service staff know how you would like your eggs be done for the nasi lemak, otherwise, it will likely be served without any!

The staycation workshops were pretty fun, and worth getting it together with the room. Plus, you get to enjoy the end product!
Till we meet again, stay tuned!

Have always wondered about the staycation experience at this popular hotel. A couple of times enroute to Beast and Butterflies, I was amazed by the long queue of guests trying to check-in to the hotel. Finally, managed to book the Alcove Room at a good price via Agoda, and it included breakfast and hence, a staycation last weekend. Sweet!
As soon as you arrived at the hotel entrance, do queue up outside for the prelim check-in process. Get your mobile phone ready to do the Safe-Entry check-in and also the NRIC. After which, guest will be required to sign on the health declaration form, and scan your temperature before heading in to queuefor the actual hotel check-in and to get the room key card.
not the key card yet, just a slip of paper to pass to frontdesk
If there are many people, the inner queue could go right up to the hotel lift area.
yes, queueing
Queued for about half an hour before finally it was my turn. The frontdesk staff seemed to be in a hurry to clear the queue soonest possible and did not inform the guest pertaining to breakfast hours.
Nevertheless, got my key cards and off to Level 10, woOOohOOo! Do let the staff know during check-in if you'd be visiting the gym or pool. Otherwise, you'd need to make a trip down to the lobby to inform. Trust me on this as I have tried calling frontdesk a few times during my stay and there was no pickup.

The pillows and bed were super comfy.
For dinner, I opted to dine at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Food Capital, where they are having the Riverside BBQ Seafood Buffet.
