Keen on making a difference while rolling around in luxury linens? Opt for a staycation at Garden Pod, a new space located in the heart of Gardens by the Bay.
The brainchild of Shipping Container Hotel and LAUD Architects, this new green staycation offers guests the opportunity to stay overnight surrounded by lush greenery. Housed within the unique foliage of Serene Garden, the two-storey Garden Pod suites is a stone’s throw away from The Meadow and Bayfront MRT station. Boasting four duplex suites – Bamboo, Maple, Jasmine or Juniper – each space accommodates up to four guests. As if that doesn't sound tranquil enough,eEach room also features a room fragrance by Maison de L’Asie, a gentle scent with floral and tea notes.
Aside from a great place to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, the Garden Pod is also built with sustainability in mind. Each of the upper levels of the four suites are built from repurposed shipping containers with panels installed on its rooftop that generate solar energy, contributing to 80 per cent of the hotel’s needs. The drinking glasses in the hotel are made from repurposed glassware by Soda Lemon artisans while the soil in terrarium displays are produced by using upcycled horticulture and landscaping waste by homegrown company Soil Social.
Garden Pod also has plenty of amenities to suit your needs, including private outdoor patios with BBQ sets, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, king and queen beds, and modern kitchens to ensure you’re comfortable during your stay in this zen garden.
A one-night stay at the Garden Pod cost $600. Bookings can be made on the Shipping Container Hotel’s website.
