Boutique Capsule Hotel - The Pod - Opens in Singapore

The Pod, a boutique capsule hotel, has opened in

Singapore.

 The 83-capsule hotel offers guests personalised

concierge services and a range of complimentary services such as

dry-cleaning and laundry service, hot buffet breakfast with

Nespresso coffee, use of business suites, high-speed Wi-Fi

connectivity and more.

“We have been observing the hospitality industry

for some time now and realised there exists a gap in Singapore

for discerning travellers who were mindful of their budget when it

came to choosing their accommodation, but wanted to enjoy the

comforts and quality synonymous with a hotel,” said Mr. Seetoh

Kum Loon, co-founder of The Pod Singapore. “Currently, in

Singapore, travellers can choose to either stay at a hotel and pay

a little more, or opt for the budget backpacker hostels,

potentially compromising on comfort, service and amenities.

Here at The Pod, we want to give travellers the best of both

worlds by offering them the premium amenities, services, look,

and feel of a boutique hotel,  along with the communal and

affordable nature of a hostel. The Pod was conceptualised to serve

this gap in the market.”

 Each Pod comes with a personal locker below the Pod with

keycard access, two pillows, personal reading light, fold-down

table for laptop use or writing, international power socket,

hangers, and a clothes rack.

 Adding a touch of luxury, each Pod

also comes with 300 thread-count cotton sateen sheets and a fluffy

duvet. Pull-down blinds in each Pod provide guests with added

privacy.

The emphasis on design and privacy is extended into

the washrooms and vanity area. A long marble common vanity against a mirrored wall provides guests with easy access to a

quick wash or touch up. Separate self-contained bathrooms 

comprising a shower separated from the water closet and sink by

a glass screen enable guests to enjoy the comforts of a private

toilet within a shared washroom.

Guests can choose between

two Single Pod types with the front-entry Pods providing more

privacy and the side-entry Pods offering more locker space.

Couples can opt for the bigger and roomier Queen Pod which

accommodates up to two guests. For female travellers, there are

also female-only Pods for added privacy.

Business travellers

can enjoy the use of complimentary business suites which come

with laptops, telephones with free local calls, Wi-Fi

connectivity and printing/scanning services.

The Pod is located at 289 Beach Road, Bugis. Rates begin from

Sin$78 for Single Pods and Sin$98 for Queen Pods.
