Developed by local start-up Tiny Pod with the support of the JTC Corporation, Train Pod @ one-north is set to be Singapore’s first co-living train hotel and will launch in September.
Hotel staff will not be physically stationed at the train hotel, but room turnovers will still be handled by a cleaning team. Although renovation works started in March, Tiny Pod founder and chief executive officer Seah Liang Chiang said details such as room rates and when bookings will open have not been firmed up.
The train-hotel project is also an extension to Tiny Pod’s existing pop-up shipping container hotel at LaunchPad @ one-north. The project also comes after The Bus Collective, a resort hotel with rooms made from old public buses, opened for bookings in November 2023. Rates start at $398 per night for a room that can accommodate three with a king-sized bed, sofa bed and bathtub.
