Travellers and locals can enjoy the best of Singapore’s history, culture, art, and dining with a new immersive guest experience by Momentus Hotel in Singapore. The flagship property by Momentus Hotels & Resorts, Momentus Hotel Alexandra, opened in 2023 along Alexandra Road replacing the former Park Hotel Alexandra.
The charming 442-room property is an urban oasis in Queenstown giving easy access to explore all parts of Singapore. In fact, it’s the perfect dine and stay adventure for leisure travellers, business travellers, or families. Guests can satisfy their soul with a bit of discovery, authenticity, and gastronomy all in one place.
Particularly, the new staycation campaign – Dial Up Your Moments With Us – invites guest to explore the Alexandra and Queenstown precincts right on the doorstep of the hotel. Until June 30, guests can look forward to a memorable stay filled with excitement, so naturally, Secret Singapore had to take advantage of this. Our editor checked out the four thrilling offerings of the Momentus Explorer experience – and each one did not disappoint.
Momentus Explorer packages
As part of our stay, we got to try out all four packages to give our audience insight into each itinerary. However, guests will only be treated to one Explorer package of their choosing. Each itinerary is a unique experience carefully curated to offer a diverse adventure that’s anything but ordinary.
Overall, guests who appreciate nature, vibrant local culture, and gastronomy will adore the Momentus Explorer packages. Here’s what we learned by checking out the four Momentus Explorer packages:
1. Nature Explorer
Those with a passion for the natural world can immerse themselves in the nature surrounding Momentus Hotel Alexandra. Using the QR Code on your Nature Explorer card, you’ll be invited to journey around different areas, from Kent Ridge Park to Mount Faber, The Southern Ridges, and beyond where you’ll spot famous wildlife, wander through lush forests, and see historical sites such as Singapore’s last World War II battle location. The beauty doesn’t end there because you can also hop on a scenic cable car ride to Sentosa, to name a few things.
For instance, I decided to get my steps in with an active hike around Mount Faber Peak and The Southern Ridges. The hike presented picture-perfect views of the forest and seaside. Overall, it was a therapeutic journey and perfect for solo travellers staying at Momentus Hotel Alexandra. Definitely, the perfect outdoor activity in Singapore too!
2. Mural Hunter
Are you artsy? Well, the Mural Hunter itinerary invites guests to wander the streets of Singapore, particularly in the Alexandra, Tiong Bahru and Queenstown precinct, to uncover beautiful street art by famous local artists. For example, Delphine Rama’s art is skillfully employed at Yo-Yo five minutes from the hotel, as well as Yip Yew Chong’s Bird Singing Corner, The Mill’s monochrome Abandoned Castle, and even a captivating art trail curated by Brilliant Corners…you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Go on a colourful journey from present to past around the precinct through these fascinating artworks just walking distance from the hotel. Plus, these creations make an epic instagrammable moment for those who love a good selfie in pretty places!
3. Cultural Heritage Adventurer
Culture buffs can embark on an exotic journey through time via the Cultural Heritage Adventurer package. Those with an appreciation for culture will discover the rich history of the neighbourhood and learn timeless stories that have shaped its identity today. Highlights include the likes of Alexandra Hospital, which was established in 1940 as a World War II medical centre, a well as Singapore’s oldest public library Queenstown Public Library, and other iconic pitstops to delight every type of history enthusiast.
Particularly, we loved venturing around the serene Rideout Tea Garden, which was once Queenstown Japanese Tea Garden, as well as wandering rooftop gardens like SkyVille@Dawson and SkyTerrace@Dawson.
4. Food Enthusiast
Send your tastebuds on an adventure with local delights on the Food Enthusiast package. The Alexandra precinct offers many sensational dining experiences and local flavours to delight even the fussiest of eaters. From cheap hawker centres like Alexandra Village and ABC Brickworks within walking distance, to Ah Seng Durian, Indian food like Prata Alley, Jin Jin Dessert…you’ll be spoilt for global cuisines through this pack.

The 78-seater restaurant serves delicious modern European cuisine with signature dishes such as premium meats like Argentinian Angus Beef Ribeye, Hand-stretched sourdough pizza, 48-hour citrus brined rotisserie chicken, seafood, a dessert station, and more. Plus, there’s a 60-seater alfresco terrace beside the infinity pool that’s perfect for a sunset dinner.
Particularly, the rooftop rotisserie combines age-old Western culinary techniques with a touch of Asian flair while we noticed staff went above and beyond to make sure diners enjoyed their meal. Additionally, guests can indulge on on buffets of breakfast, lunch, dinner, or la-carte menus from 12pm to 10pm daily. The buffets are definitely an excellent idea for foodies!
Wonderfully, guests can also lounge in the Verandah Pool & Grill which features one of the best infinity pools in Singapore. Meanwhile, it’s a superb place to enjoy handcrafted locally-inspired cocktails while the sun sets.
Additionally, The Lobby features a small Craftsmen Coffee kiosk from 7am to 5pm to fuel up on coffee before your adventures.
