Eastern & Oriental Hotel staycation

Valentine's Day is a non-event for us, we find the occasion overrated and overpriced!  Why pay thrice or more for the same goods and services right?  Besides, love should be celebrated all year long :)

This staycation just happened to be on Valentines weekend as my stepkids are on study mode for their upcoming exams and they didn't come over to our home.

My company provided some vouchers which amounted to 40% of the cost.  We stayed at the Victory Annexe, the newest wing of the E&O hotel, which has its least expensive suites. 

Enjoyed exploring both the new and old parts of the hotel, the free cocktails (good wine selection and tasty hors d'oeuvre) and the breakfast buffet.  

It was a relaxing and enjoyable staycation, more like a post-celebration of Sarah's 3rd birthday and Ravi's 49th birthday.
