This promotion is valid for stays until Dec 31, 2020.
It’s also possible to save a further 50 per cent off your stay by buying Ascott Star Rewards points and using them to pay. This offer runs till Aug 31, 2020, and is available to both healthcare heroes and the general public.

Hyatt is offering healthcare workers special rates for rooms booked directly through its website. Guests will need to use the special offer promo code THANKYOU, or can simply book through this link.
The actual rate varies from day to day, but the lowest I found was $256++.
This rate is valid for stays until June 30, 2021.
Do note, however, that the healthcare rate may be inferior to Hyatt’s other staycation packages. For example, by entering the special offer promo code STAYC,
I was able to find an even cheaper rate ($250++) that had additional inclusions like breakfast, high tea, a 20 per cent F&B discount, $50 spa credit and guaranteed room upgrade.

Hilton is offering all frontline professionals up to 25 per cent off the best flexible rate at all its hotels in Singapore, including:
These rates come with late check-out (upon availability) and includes free breakfast for 2 persons.
What’s interesting is that Hilton defines frontline staff as not just medical professionals, but also guests with valid military ID including active duty, reserve and retired service members.
Technically, this means any male Singaporean or Permanent resident who has done national service will qualify too. Score!

While discounts are good, free is even better. If you’re an employee of SingHealth, National Healthcare Group or National University Health System, you may be eligible for one of 25,000 complimentary hotel nights, donated by Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts.
These rooms are valid for stays from Dec 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021, across six properties in Singapore:
All stays will come with complimentary breakfast, 50 per cent off F&B and 30 per cent off spa services. Eligible healthcare workers should approach their HR office for more details.
With all that healthcare workers have been through over the past few months (and in the months to come), it’s great to see the hotel industry extending special recognition to them.
Although these deals may sound enticing, it’s always best practice to do some comparison shopping before booking anything.
Certain packages available to the public may be slightly more expensive, but represent better value thanks to additional inclusions like F&B credits.
