SINGAPORE - This high-end boutique hotel that sits in the picturesque Gardens by the Bay can relocate to any location in Singapore or even abroad.
While its mobility sets it apart from conventional hotels, what this establishment - by small and medium-sized enterprise Shipping Container Hotel - prides itself on is sustainability. Its first two hotels, also fashioned out of shipping containers, are in One North and Haw Par Villa. They are each composed of two containers and have been running since January 2020 and December 2021 respectively.
It will be located next to the popular Changi Village Hawker Centre and span some 8,600 sq m, or an area slightly larger than a football field. Rates are estimated to be between $300 and $400 a night. Garden Pod, a short distance from Bayfront MRT station, is the third hotel project by Shipping Container Hotel.

But there are plus points too. Laud Architects director Matthew Yeo, who was involved in designing Garden Pod, said one advantage of using shipping containers is that they can be assembled quickly.
