5 Unique Hotel Staycation Experiences That Aren't Your Average Getaways
Shipping Container Hotel
image

Want an out-of-the-box experience? What looks like nondescript shipping containers in the Ayer Rajer Crescent areas are actually pop-up hotels, a new concept by local start-up company Shipping Container Hotel.

Not just eco-friendly but totally gram-worthy, they offer all the trappings of a hotel stay, too. Each has a bedroom, living and dining rooms, a full kitchen, bathroom, patio complete with a BBQ pit, as well as air-conditioning, a toilet and fresh running water.

It’s not a permanent spot, too. According to its website, the company seeks for each hotel to be at any one location for just a couple of years before they start sussing out new locations on the island.

Basic rates before service tax and GST are $160 (Sundays to Thursdays) and $180 (Fridays and Saturdays).

Visit its website for more information.

Met A Space Pod
image

You can’t quite travel out of Singapore but you can travel to space (well, kind of) thanks to Met A Space Pod, which bills itself Singapore’s first space-themed hostel.

Each pod is outfitted with a TV, a foldable table, USB charging port, and controls for the temperature and lights. There’s also a 24-hour lounge and complimentary breakfast.

Unfortunately, for now, the hostel is only open for essential stays (if your home is undergoing renovation, maintenance or if you’re looking for a new place), but keep this on your to-stay list for when restrictions are lifted!

It currently operates three hostels – one at Chinatown, Boat Quay and Arab Street.

Visit its website for more information.
