Conference Accommodation Rates
We have conference rates with two accommodation options to suit different budgets. If you require any further help or advice, contact capra27@caprameeting.org.
Park Avenue Rochester ($$$)
The Park Avenue Rochester is a 4 star hotel located in the One-North/Buona Vista area. It is well connected to NUS campus via a short bus trip and is located close to Buona Vista MRT stop for getting in and out of the city center, to the airport or to Kent Ridge MRT stop on NUS campus. If enough attendees book the accomodation rate here there will also be a private bus provided to bring participants directly to the conference venue.
There are several restaurants nearby including many options in the Rochester and Star Vista Malls. Taking the circle MRT line one stop northwards from Buona Vista brings you to Holland village with a sociable atmosphere and ample bars and restaurants (all in the vicinity of Holland Village Market and Food Centre).
Prices and booking instructions are contained in this booking form. Note that the form says the tax rate added to the room price is 8% but it is now 9% as of January 2024.
Lyf One North ($$)
Lyf One North is an aparthotel offering "studio" style accommodation (breakfast not included).
It's in pretty much the same area as the Park Avenue Rochester (so the same food advice applies) but closer to One North MRT stop on the circle line than Buona Vista. Check out Timbre+ One North for cheap and delicious food and live music right nearby. To get to the conference venue, either take the MRT one stop southwards to Kent Ridge and then take the free campus bus over to UTown or take one of the public buses more directly to UTown (more information on the Conference Venue page.)
A booking code can be found at the end of the registration form for bookings made directly on their platform. We do not have rooms reserved in advance so booking is still subject to availability. Anticipate a rate of around 163.5 SGD/night with the code.
Some Other Options
Note that 'short-term' accommodation is regulated in Singapore and limited to professional hostels, hotels and aparthotels etc. Platforms like Airbnb still exist but you will not find cheap 'home-stays' on them.
The following list contains a few of the other accommodation options which are located suitably close to the conference venue. Around the West Coast Road area there are several budget friendly options (but be sure to book well in advance to keep the rates low).
IBIS budget Singapore West Coast(**, $) (West Coast Road Area)
Fragrance Hotel - Ocean View (**, $) (West Coast Road Area)
The Quay Hotel - West Coast (***, $$) (West Coast Road Area)
Citadines Connect Rochester (***, $$$) (One North Area)
There are ample options closer to the city centre but I wouldn't recommend the commute to the venue everyday. If you do want to stay closer to the city centre for novelty, stay close to the green (East West) or purple (North East) MRT lines which connect with the yellow (Circle) line to get to Kent Ridge MRT stop. From Kent Ridge the free campus bus (D2) will take you to UTown (and back) where the conference venue is located. The total journey time would likely be a bit over 45 minutes.
