Even more disturbing is that we see the growing trend of young children, some barely 10 years of age, struggling with screen addiction and parents who seem helpless and desperately seeking measures to curb their kids' screen addiction.

Shangri-La Hotel Singapore – Themed Family Suite Review

TORUK – The First Flight by Cirque Du Soleil Singapore

BUDS by Shangri-La, Singapore
Another Hotel ‘Kids’ Club’? No. Far from it. Buds by Shangri-La Hotel Singapore sets the benchmark. We are no strangers to hotels with Kids Club facilities. Although we love travelling with our kids, like many parents, there are moments we crave for some private time or just 1 quiet meal together. This is why hotels with Kids’ Club appeal to us.
