TRAVEL BABBLE: Wanderlust Hotel - Singapore

Heading to Singapore anytime soon? Check into their new (affordable) contemporary boutique hotel Wanderlust. Each room, all designed differently (no two rooms the same) with rocketships, overgrown typewriters, and bright pantone shades (complete with Kiehl's toiletries!) will evoke the inner child need for discovery. A handy book-like itinerary, in the form of a boarding pass, is given to all of the guests. The booklet includes useful information about the hotel, a helpful city guide including modes of transportation, restaurant recommendations, and maps. The rest of the pages are left blank for your own notes, serving as a personalized keepsake for later. CUTE! Don't forget to mozy on down to the lobby restaurant Cocotte for some french cuisine and communal dining.
