Despite its renowned ban on chewing gum and vibrant hawker centre culture, Singapore’s success in developing to a thriving nation in under fifty years is remarkable. Singapore has always made sure that nature has not been forgotten amongst the urbanisation, with greenery lining every highway and the 158-year-old Singapore Botanic Gardens now being a Unesco World Heritage Site; thus, the nickname ‘Garden City’ is most certainly appropriate. 2018 marks a Year of Climate Action for Singapore, and with a selection of sustainable hotels in the Lion City, your stay in Singapore can be both remarkable and meaningful.

Ivy snakes up the industrial-chic concrete walls, floor to ceiling windows look out into a sea of tropical plants, and a wall of palm leaves serves as natures shower curtain. .While Lloyds Inn is undeniably photogenic, the hotels minimalist style is not merely an ornamental facade. In fact, the design feeds into the establishments green concept, placing emphasis on the simple delights that nature has to offer. With open air corridors, the hotel not only reduces its electricity consumption and environmental impact, but also integrates natural elements of sunlight and rainfall as part of the guests experience. .Lloyds Inn has 8 different room types, designed uniquely for different traveller types in mind.
