InterContinental Singapore is offering a "Rain Resist Bliss" package, which promises to refund one night of a guest's stay if any of their booked activities are disrupted by rain.?

?Andreas Kraemer, the hotel's general manager, told CNN that during a discussion with a group of friends about the future of luxury travel, one of them joked that being able to guarantee nice weather would be the ultimate luxury. This spawned the notion of a rain insurance plan.However, some circumstances apply.

What are the terms and conditions?

The InterContinental will not be issuing refunds every time it rains. According to the hotel, the reimbursement criteria are met when the rain duration surpasses 120 cumulative minutes in any 4-hour block of time during daylight hours.?

The rain insurance package is only offered to customers staying in suites, with pricing beginning at 850 SGD (Rs 52,000) per night for junior suites and 4,500 SGD (Rs 2.7 lakh) for the presidential suite.?

The compensation is in the form of a voucher, which must be used at the InterContinental Singapore within six months. The coupon amount covers one night's stay in the specified room category.

Why this hotel is offering this unusual refund?

On rainy days in Singapore, Kraemer enjoys seeing the Asian Civilizations Museum, taking a tour of Tiger Brewery, and shopping at the local Kinokuniya bookshop.?

Special offers like this can help established hotels distinguish themselves from competition. For example, in Bali, a hotel banned smartphones and other electronic devices near the pool to encourage relaxing and unplugging.?

Similarly, hotels and resorts around the world, including the Park Hyatt New York, have constructed specific rooms designed to provide guests with a great night's sleep. These rooms include amenities such as white noise machines, weighted blankets, and calming teas, appealing to clients looking for a relaxing and revitalizing experience.?
