Study in style: Hotel offers shades of glamour

By Jonna Dagliden and Natalie Jones 02.09.2010 London : Town Hall Hotel & Apartments : Waterhouse Hotel

Singapore – Entrepreneur and hotelier Peng Loh, the man behind hotels such as the Town Hall Hotel & Apartments in London and the Waterhouse hotel in Shanghai, has opened the Wanderlust boutique hotel in Singapore’s Little India.

Once again Peng has experimented with design to turn an old building, a former school from the 1920s, into a stylish designer hotel. A Bleisure aesthetic is evident throughout, with concrete floors and white walls in the Industrial Glam lobby by Asylum on Level 1. In the Eccentricity lobby by art and design collective :phunk Studio on Level 2 neon lights and a rainbow corridor greet guests, while on Level 3 DP Architects has created a Black and White look.

Luxury hotels are explored further in LS:N Global’s Travel Trends report.
