Exclusive and elusive, pop-up hotels are here to stay. Pop-up hotels are geared at providing accommodation for temporary events such as music festivals and sports competitions, and can be found “popping up” at a variety of places including camping grounds and race tracks.
As pop-up hotels always immerse themselves into their surroundings, taking the shape of tents, shipping containers, or even a piece of art, you may not be able to recognise a pop-up hotel when see one! Also, compared to conventional hotels that are merely a part of your travel journey, pop-up hotels have since become popular destinations to tourists.
Worried about the level of service in these pop-up hotels? Fret not - while they may not look like your typical hotel from the outside, pop-up hotels provide similar services as regular hotels, such as round-the-clock security, concierge services, and of course, Wi-Fi. Some go a step further to include pop-up restaurants, bars, spas or even saunas.
With limited rooms and constantly changing locations, pop-up hotels are not easy to “catch”. If you’re keen on hopping on this bandwagon, start by checking out our list of upcoming pop-up hotels!
