RELAX ON SINGAPORE


Fashionable Flair

The boutique hotel Wanderlust in Little India is made for guests with a sense of adventure.  Located in an old settlement where Indian immigrants once reared cattle and livestock, the building began its history in the 1920s as the Hong Wen School, where it still retains its old-world charm with an unchanged façade.

The four storey boutique hotel has 29 rooms, each featuring the groundbreaking work of award-winning Singapore design agencies Asylum, PhunkStudio and fFurious – the first-ever hotel project for each design firm. Working alongside them is Singaporean architectural firm DP Architects.

Just as there are no identical rooms, the same can be said for each floor in the hotel. Each agency was given full creative freedom to design an entire level in the hotel, resulting in four, different ‘in-your-face’ themes – ‘Industrial Glam’, ‘Eccentricity’, ‘Is It Just Black or White?‘ and ’Creature Comforts’.

Wanderlust also plays host to traditional French restaurant Cocotte at the lobby. Helmed by Chef Anthony Yeoh, it offers French cuisine with a menu that serves up rustic recipes in a casual, communal setting. Designed by Chris Lee of Asylum, the restaurant features restored timber flooring with old wine crates propped on walls.
