You’ll love SiloStay because of the ambience, the outdoors space, the light, the comfy bed, and the neighbourhood. SiloStay is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers. As our Silos are isolated from each other, and the SiloCheck-In is contactless, we are not requesting Vaccine Passes. The only areas where SiloNauts might encounter each other are at the Key Kiosk and Drop-Off, in the car park or on the boardwalks providing access to the Silos.
