It’s hard to find a truly unique hotel that makes you want to come back just to see what they will do next. In fact it’s hard to find any business that makes you feel that way, but the Wanderlust Hotel in Singapore does exactly that. Each of the rooms are fantastic flights of fancy for example the Mono Deluxe room, with a glass enclosed bathtub to the whimsical Space Tree room. Definitely worth checking out.
The rest of the rooms can be seen on The Coolist and bookings can be made through the Wonderlust Hotel site
The Meera House, designed by Guz Architects, is located on the resort island of Sentosa next to Singapore and is an amazing example of sustainable futuristic architecture. While the roof is covered in grass, shrubs and trees, the interior is modern and beautiful, awe inspiring to say the least. From above, the house almost disappears into the surrounding landscape, revealing it’s presence only by the sliver of swimming pool that is seen. The balconies provide spectacular views of the nearby water and the swimming pool is revealed as a masterpiece only when one enters the house.
