If that’s all you have to spare, you should perhaps consider a stay at these fine local establishments to unwind.
The term staycation is a portmanteau of “stay” and “vacation” and is used as an excuse by every teenager to stay out for a night of covert drinking with friends at a chalet. However, the word takes on a new meaning for working adults – something worth looking into if everyday life is about hustling and bustling. So take that jacket off, slip into a comfy pair of PJs and dawdle around either with your loved one, family or just by yourself (#selflove). Men’s Folio explores local hotels that are built on heritage, culture, and neighbourhoods to offer you the ideal home (not so far) away from home.
ANDAZ SINGAPORE
Andaz Singapore, a concept hotel by Hyatt, is located at the intersection of cultural and shopping districts like Kampong Glam, Little India, Bras Basah, and Marina Bay. That would mean even if one decides to get out of the hotel for some fresh air, he will be presented with the options of two contrasting types of spaces – alleys littered with shophouses splashed in vibrant colours and textures and concrete architectural feat with luxury shopping.
Within the hotel, there are many features to keep one indoors. To begin with, there are internationally acclaimed artworks at every turn, pieces by Brazilian sculptor André Mendes, New York-based Filipina artist Monica Delgado, Malaysian artist Fauzulyusri Mohd Yusof, and Singaporean artist Ahmad Abu Bakar will make sure there is something to welcome and entice everyone. The interior spaces were designed by Andre Fu with the urban spirit in mind. Floorto-ceiling windows are used to showcase the remarkable view around Andaz Singapore and to allow the body and soul to bathe in natural light (also provides perfect lighting for #selfie). He was inspired by the lively neighbourhood and created a dreamscape of passageways in the hotel to stimulate a journey of modern cultural discovery.

Heavy Lidded
In the masculine world of grooming, the sport (or art) of decorating one's lids with darkened kohl has been practised amongst niche circles, reserved for only a few brave men willing to go - or draw - the lengths of a sharp winged liner. Given the past decade's adoration of the bare-is-best routines, the notion of lined eyes has been mostly cast away. However, as the return of the Indie Sleaze movement returns, confronting the pressing question cannot be put off any longer. Should the world be opening its eyes and waking up for the return of \"guyliner\"?
