Who doesn’t love to go to Singapore? This small country has so much to offer in such a small place. Most of us usually circle around Orchard Road and shopping malls around the center of the city looking for any source of entertainment. Some of us even go to Sentosa Island, the designated entertainment island in Singapore to experience some adventure. But who knows that starting from now we can even find adventure in our own hotel?

Here in Little India, lay a small hotel named Wanderlust. Living up to its sensational name, Wanderlust claim itself as “a left-field and totally experimental boutique hotel set to draw madcap voyagers and curious travelers to its doorstep.”[1]

With We Heart mentioned this hotel “as close to a childhood fantasy as you can get,”[2] there are more reasons to know more about Wanderlust Hotel. This hotel room is consisted of 29 rooms in four floor levels, with each level assigned a unique theme.  The first floor is the hotel lobby, with the rest being the guest’s room. The rooms on the second floor are neon themed, the rooms in the third floor are origami and pop art themed, and the rooms in the fourth floor are fantasy themed.

 The first selection of rooms provided are the neon themed room on the second floor. The room is quite simple, as shown in the picture. But with the application of neon colors and decoration, every room have different vibes to itself.

 The second selection of rooms are the origami and pop art themed. These rooms are more spacious, though the furniture is still kept to the minimal. Each rooms carries out different themes and mood in it, even though the type of the decorations are similar one to another.

 The third selection of rooms are the most appealing one, giving endless possibilities to dreams and experiences. Actually the furniture in this room is quite simple, not much of a difference than the previous rooms. But the way the rooms are arranged is the milk to the cookie. They also add another appealing feature in the room, besides the free drinks in the mini fridge, is the espresso machine they called: The Nespresso.

  2. I find that this hotel is very whimsical, charming and witty (at the same time).

    I was wondering whether the interior or the style of each rooms in the hotel has some sort of cultural influences or inspiration?
