Clear skies and sunshine. That's what most people hope for when they go on holiday.
This five-star hotel knows, though, that the weather can have other ideas - and offers a unique 'silver lining' for guests who are forced to endure rainfall during their stay.
InterContinental Singapore has unveiled a new package called 'Rain Resist Bliss', with guests receiving a rebate voucher at the value of their one-night room rate 'if their plans are disrupted by the rain'.
Andreas Kraemer, General Manager at InterContinental Singapore, introduced the package after one of his friends joked that being able to guarantee good weather would be the next level of luxury travel.
However, to redeem the money - there are a few conditions that must be met.

The reimbursement voucher must be redeemed at InterContinental Singapore within six months from the date it was issued and the offer is only applicable to guests staying in suites, which start at 850 SGD (£504/$623) a night for junior suites and up to 4,500 SGD (£2,671/$3,302) for the presidential suite.
And unfortunately, the voucher can't be redeemed due to a shower or a little bit of drizzle.
According to the hotel's website, to be eligible for reimbursement, rain must exceed 120 minutes in duration within a four-hour block of time during daylight hours (8.00am to 7.00pm).
For example, says the website, if it rains continuously between 4.00pm to 5.30pm (90 minutes) and again between 6:00pm to 6:30pm (30 minutes), a voucher will be triggered.
However, guests don't need to lift a finger to apply for the voucher - it's issued automatically within seven working days if rainfall data published by the National Environment Agency of Singapore shows that the conditions have been met.

The hotel group told MailOnline Travel: 'While we may not be able to control the weather, we can still help guests be in control of their plans when they stay with this package.
'Travellers heading to Southeast Asia from May to October will especially benefit from this package as Singapore is renowned for surprise showers during that time of year.'
If travellers do find themselves greeted by pouring rain, the hotel recommends indoor attractions such as the Asian Civilisations Museum, Takashimaya shopping mall and Lau Pa Sat, a huge food market offering various local dishes.
The Rain Resist Bliss package is available until the end of 2024. For more information, visit: singapore.intercontinental.com/offers/rain-assurance-package.
