Venue Hotel - The Lily

In Joo Chiat, the lively East Coast quarter of Singapore, two wallet-friendly stays put you close to local life. Hotel 81 Opera sits a short walk from Paya Lebar MRT and about 15 minutes by car from the Central Business District and 20 minutes from Changi Airport. Venue Hotel - The Lily is a bit further east (around 6 km from the city centre) with easy access to East Coast Park, Singapore National Stadium and Gardens by the Bay.

Expect simple, newly renovated rooms with air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms. Rooms come with either a queen bed or two singles, plus TV, telephone and hairdryer; Venue Hotel - The Lily also notes in-room mini-fridges and safes. Hotel 81 Opera offers disability-friendly and non-smoking room options. The vibe is local and low-key — think practical comfort with a neighbourhood feel.

Both properties offer 24-hour reception and elevator access. Venue Hotel - The Lily advertises complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi, while Hotel 81 Opera provides wired/wireless internet access (may vary). On-site services include laundry/dry cleaning, safe-deposit boxes and a tour desk; Venue Hotel even lists a doctor on call. Step outside for bakeries, local eats and a short taxi ride to East Coast Park for sea-breeze mornings and seafood dining.

High-speed internet is available (complimentary at Venue Hotel - The Lily). There’s a 24-hour business centre, express check-out, and convenient dry-cleaning/laundry and safe-deposit services to keep work trips running smooth.

Venue Hotel - The Lily features an on-site restaurant. Both locations sit amid a cluster of local restaurants, Vietnamese spots and bakeries, plus 24-hour convenience stores. For a proper night out, East Coast Park’s seafood and gourmet restaurants are a quick taxi ride away.
