M Hotel Singapore Review: New Look, Delicious Experience

M Hotel Singapore Review: Eat, Work, Sleep, Chill

After staying in the Grand Millennium KL Hotel last year, I have been hoping to experience all the hotels under the Millennium & Copthorne International. Somehow, I was caught up with different types of work and only managed to squeeze some time out for a quick staycation photoshoot recently.
M Hotel LogoNot to be confused with Studio M, M Hotel Singapore is a business hotel located in the heart of the Central Business District, a convenient place for business travellers who have their schedules packed with meetings and conferences. With that in mind, let’s check out how this hotel fare for such purpose and if it is suitable for an urban getaway!

M Hotel Singapore LobbyFor the past one year, M Hotel Singapore had been undergoing a facelift of their external building facade as well as renovation of 300 guest-rooms. As a long term supporter of the annual Earth Hour event and recipient of Singapore Green Hotel 2015 by Singapore Hotel Association, the hotel was given a Gold Plus Award, as a form of recognition by the Building & Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark for the numerous green efforts.

Some examples include the choice of ermine white colour external walls that keeps the building cool and reduces energy consumption and the corridor carpets specially designed with Green Label certification to reduce damage to the environment.

M Hotel Singapore Check inI was directed to the check-in counter where we were asked to show our identification. Different from most hotels where the check-ins were done standing up, here, there are chairs for guests to sit while waiting.

M Hotel Singapore Express Check inExpress Check-in is available at level 28, just next to the Club Lounge. I realised I have a habit of taking photo of the lift as a directory of where all the important facilities of a hotel are, so here’s one!

M Hotel Facilities In A GlanceThere are five floors of event spaces for corporate and social functions (level B1; 8-10); serviced office suites and business centre at level 8, carpark at level 3-7.

M Hotel Singapore Premier Room

There are 413 guestrooms at M Hotel Singapore which include M Suites, M Club, Premier and Deluxe guestrooms, featuring contemporary style and design.
M Hotel Singapore Premier Room ViewI got to stay in the Premier Room which has a beautiful city view overlooking the Keppel Terminal (sneak peek).

M Hotel Singapore Premier RoomFitted with energy-saving LED lighting approved by Singapore Environment Council, the room is a conducive place for work and conference-calls. The spacious room even has a one-seater sofa by the window for naps or your social media selfies. The hotel WiFi might be chargeable depending on the website you booked your accommodation, but good thing about it: It connects throughout in the hotel and not just your room.

M Hotel Singapore Premier Room BedThe revamped rooms aim to provide a besoke stay experience, with special attention given to relax and rest. The queen-size bed uses ultra-comfortable Serta soft mattress, custom-made 100% cotton bed sheet, customized pairs of pillows with choice of micro-fabric (for non-allergic) and goose feather (for softness and comfortable) – both types are available in every guestroom. The additional pair of pillows are kept in the cabinets. Duvet covers are available in micro- fabric for Deluxe & Premier rooms, and feather duvet for M Club rooms & M Suites (available on request for Deluxe & Premier rooms).

M Hotel Singapore Room FacilitiesThere is only one standard size of bathrobe available in M Hotel Singapore (some hotels have different sizes), but if you are petite like me, you can request for the kid size bathrobe! Ironing board, iron, slippers and safety box are all available in the “walk-in” cabinet!

M Hotel Singapore Premier Room BathroomOne reason why I love hotel stays is because of the bathtubs! Taking long bubble bath is a luxurious treat I give myself whenever I do staycation! I mean, most of us don’t have time to do baths on normal days because we are always rushing! Here, the taps and shower are certified by PUB for their water saving function.

Derrick See and WifeAs I was due for a Taiwan trip, I invited photographer/ blogger Derrick See (http://seedwrites.blogspot.sg/) and his wife to stay for the night instead.

Dine and Chill in M Hotel Singapore

If you are a couch-potato like me, it is actually possible to stay in the hotel the whole day without getting out and enjoy all the facilities. There are five food & beverage outlets – all day dining Café 2000, international lunch & steamboat dinner at The Buffet Restaurant, live entertainment at J Bar, Japanese restaurant Hokkaido, and Tea Bar – famous for its irresistible chicken pies. So after my check-in, I went for an afternoon tea at M Hotel Singapore Tea Bar.
M Hotel Singapore Tea BarI had Malcolm Sunny,a long time blogger friend catching up with me over afternoon tea.

M Hotel Singapore Afternoon Tea Set CostTea Set Promotion is $38+ (Usual Price $66+) includes a three-tier stand savoury-sweet dessert, as well as a warm curry puff, chicken pie (Ala carte $5.30 each) and refillable coffee or tea for two. 

M Hotel Singapore Afternoon Tea SetThe Afternoon Tea Special is a dainty serving with bite-size sandwiches, savoury canapes and sweet pastries served on an elegant three-tier stand.

M Hotel Singapore Afternoon Tea ChoicesMy favourite is the chicken pie, surprisingly different from the ones sold outside. Here, the pie is made and sold in limited pieces by M Hotel Singapore’s in-house chef. Made up of carrot bits, chicken and potatoes, the juicy fillings flow out the instant the crispy crust was cut. 

M Hotel Singapore Tea Bar CakeBesides the tea set promotion, there are also several cake choices sold at $6.50 per piece.

Current Promotion Price: SGD$38++ (Usual price: SGD$66++)
Time: 2pm-5pm
Advance reservation is highly recommended. For reservations, please call 6500 6124 or email cafe2000.mhs@millenniumhotels.com

Seafood Hotpot Buffet Dinner at The Buffet Restaurant @ Level 2

M Hotel Singapore The Buffet RestaurantI did not join Derrick for the dinner, but it was a feast for them! So here’s the experiential review by Derrick:

M Hotel Singapore The BuffetWhen we stepped into The Buffet Restaurant,  a restaurant staff greeted us at the door. We identify ourselves by using our room number. We were probably the first few diners and we were brought to, I believe one of the best tables beside the big glass tinted window. It was comfortable and cozy.

M Hotel Singapore The Buffet SteamboatThere are different soups for the steamboats. You get to choose two soups and we went for herbal and chicken soups. The waitress came over with a tray of different mixed sauces and explain to us which sauces were recommended for meats, fishes etc. It was pretty fun trying to mix my own version of peanut sauce. Too bad, I did not get the same taste as the earlier peanut sauce given by the waitress.

M Hotel Singapore The Buffet VegeThere was a wide range of meats, seafood and vegetables at the centre of the room. There’s even Yong Tau Foo, a Hakka Chinese dish for any tourist who wish to try something different!

M Hotel Singapore Live PrawnsWhat impresses me was a tank of live prawns at one side of the room. A restaurant staff was stationed to take order from diners and proceed to prepare the live prawns.

M Hotel Singapore The Buffet SeafoodThe other thing which impressed me was the variety of seafood. This was the first time I see a whole white pomfret fish as an ingredient for steamboat buffet! Besides that, there were whole crabs, clams and scallops too.

M Hotel Singapore PrawnsBesides live prawns, there were also the normal chilled prawns to choose from.

M Hotel Singapore The Buffet FruitsBesides the ingredients for the steamboat, there were plenty of fresh cut-fruits such as papaya, pineapple, honeydew, watermelon and plums.

M Hotel Singapore The Buffet DessertOf course, everyone will always have some room for dessert. Cakes, jellies and Chocolate mousse anyone?

M Hotel Singapore The Buffet Dessert ChoicesOverall, the ambience was perfect. The tables and chairs were well placed with wide walking space between them. With the wide variety of fresh ingredients and superb service from the waitresses, it made the whole dining experience an awesome one.

Current Promotion: SGD$40.60+ (U.P. SGD$58)
Time: 6pm-9.30pm (last order)
For reservations, please call The Buffet at 6500 6116 or email thebuffet.mhs@millenniumhotels.com

Breakfast @ Cafe 2000

M Hotel Singapore Cafe 2000
Breakfast is served at both the Club Lounge (if you have the access) and Cafe 2000 on ground level. Cafe 2000 serve a wider variety of food as compared to Club Lounge, but it will definitely be more crowded.
M Hotel Singapore Breakfast Buffet Cafe 2000Besides the standard International English breakfast, with breads, eggs, fruits and yogurt, M Hotel Singapore also serve some local breakfast choices.

M Hotel Singapore Breakfast Buffet SpreadMy favourite (I had breakfast at Cafe 2000 some time back!) was the prata and daal, as well as the light plain porridge with sauces and garnishes.

M Hotel Singapore Derrick See BreakfastThis is what Derrick and his wife got for that morning!

Current Promotion: SGD$49+ (U.P. SGD$70).

Facilities: Club Lounge

The Club Lounge is located on the 28th floor of the hotel (where express check-in counter is).
M Hotel Singapore Club LoungeIt is a spacious room with plenty of tables and chairs for you to do your work. It was absolutely peaceful and serene to be doing my blogging over there!

M Hotel Singapore Club Lounge ViewBreakfast is served from 7am -10.30am (for those who prefer quiet-ness), and cocktail reception from 5pm-8pm. Outside that, the lounge serves cookies, chips and beverages throughout the day. It even have a private meeting room for guests who need to have a meeting or conference.

M Hotel Singapore Waterfloor

Work meets play with spa, swimming pool and fitness centre at the Waterfloor, located on level 11 of the hotel.
M Hotel Singapore WaterfloorBesides amenities like the gym and swimming pool, Haach – a Premium Spa, Face, Skin & Body Care salon is also located there. Facial and Massage anyone? 😀

M Hotel Singapore JacuzziOpen to guests from 7am – 11pm, the waterfloor has 2 x jacuzzi and a swimming pool for people who need to relax or work out. There are also sun-beds around the pool, surprisingly filled with guests at 4pm in the afternoon.

M Hotel Singapore GymnasiumThe 24-hour gymnasium is pretty well-equipped with basic weights, thread-mills and lifting machines. Yes, I gotta work away the calories I gain from the sinful afternoon tea!

Chilling at J Bar

The J Bar at level 9 has also been renovated with a new contemporary look, with live entertainment playing from Monday to Saturday evening. M Hotel Singapore J BarThe new J Bar with a partition wall is suitable for corporate networking or social functions, holding up to 60 persons on standing cocktail setting. So if you are a whisky drinker, this popular bar with sea view will definitely be familiar to you.

Hope this review helps and do check out Derrick’s website (http://seedwrites.blogspot.sg) for more great photos!

  1. You are so lucky that you have the budget to stay in these fancy hotels. As a family, we do not mind staying in a simple hotel and spend the money saved more for the travelling around and shopping. – Fred

  2. I like the way they change their facade and also adding with the idea of making it more convenient, plus a way of fighting climate change and improving energy security, while also creating jobs.

  3. Looks like it’s a hotel that fits the need of a corporate junkie! Well, at least based on their facilities. It’s really convenient that they have everything laid out for you.

  4. the cakes and buffet bar looks great! so many choices. there are many activities to do which i love in a hotel

  5. firsttimetravel

    It’s a beautiful hotel. What I love about staying in hotels are the tub and the buffet. The food choices you’ve shown here look so delectable!

  6. Lol we have J hotel here in Malaysia, Johor, wonder where is the rest of the other alphabets buffet looks good for the price paid to stay there!

  7. Wow, this place has everything! What a beautiful hotel. There are so many great amenities that you would never think it was anything but a 5 star. I love that they painted the outside white to keep things cooler inside and help with conservation at the same time.
