Our review of The Vagabond Club, Singapore, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

On the occasion of our mini-RTW in 1 week, we had a night planned in Singapore.

We chose to stay at The Vagabond Club – Singapore – a Tribute Portfolio Hotel because:

  • It is very well located to explore Singapore
  • It only costs 35,000 points per night while staying in Singapore is very expensive
  • We were able to use a free one-night certificate from one of our Marriott Bonvoy cards
  • This is a “boutique” hotel that stands out from the standard of the major chains
