world’s most unusual hotels… wanderlust hotel

In the fourth of my world’s most unusual hotels series, I’m featuring the Wanderlust hotel, located in Little India, Singapore.

The owner of this four storey boutique hotel gave four design agencies an entire floor each and full creative freedom to design whatever they wanted.  And design they did, letting their imaginations run wild, resulting in four ‘in-your-face’ themes – ‘Industrial Glam’, ‘Eccentricity’, ‘Is it just black and white?’ and ‘Creature Comforts’.   This concept was the brainchild of hip hotelier Loh lik Peng.

Wanderlust hotel. Second floor 'Eccentricity' for those who love their Pantone colour charts. Each room rendered in a single colour.

Wanderlust hotel. Third floor 'Is it just Black and White' featuring animated scenes of stenciled art installtions.

Wanderlust hotel. Top floor 'Creature Comforts' offering friendly monsters as companions to the lonely traveller. This room's theme is the whimiscal typewriter.

Next time you’re down Singapore way on a stop over, this hotel would be well worth checking out.  It’s all a bit surreal, like an adult’s Alice In Wonderland.
