RB Hospitality Opens Second Capsule Hotel in Singapore

RB Hospitality has opened its second CUBE hotel in Singapore.

The CUBE Boutique Capsule Hotel at Kampong Glam offers another 56 beds - a mix of singles and queens - each in its own capsule.

Measuring 6 ft x 3 ft x 4ft for a single and 6 ft x 5 ft x 4 ft for a queen, each capsule is designed to moderate its own temperature and air-flow and is solidly insulated to reduce ambient noise for a comfortable rest.

Each unit is equipped with a universal electrical outlet, safe, mirror/vanity area, bedside light, a small space for hanging garments and a locker drawer with digital security for personal storage.

Named after the neighbouring streets, room configurations vary between two and eighteen capsules.

For an extra level of security and privacy, female travellers can choose to stay in the women-only rooms.

Guests are provided with a dental kit, slippers and one towel, upon check-in and this is exchangeable daily. A washing machine with complimentary detergent is also available for guests while work desks are provided for guests' use.

Besides complimentary Wi-Fi, guests can also enjoy a daily breakfast showcasing local flavours in a relaxed communal dining area.

"Kampong Glam is chosen for its vibrancy, charm and rich heritage culture. In addition to the Sultan Mosque and the Malay Heritage Centre, there are a number of shops, cafes, restaurants and other bustling sites such as the hip Haji Lane. The Bugis MRT Station is only a 5-minute walk away," said Sonia Anya Tay, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder.

By keeping the most essential hotel features such as daily housekeeping, 24-hour concierge, airport pickups, free Wi-Fi and breakfast, along with tech touches, the CUBE Hotel experience has endeared itself to such visitors without compromising on comfort. Guests can still indulge in a hotel stay, while relishing the cost savings that come with a capsule experience. Each capsule stay can range between S$50 and S$120 per night.

"Our guests are typically 18-35 years old global explorers including founders of new generation businesses and special interest groups. The positive interest shown in our properties has inspired us to create a new CUBE Capsule concept which we aim to open before the end of this year. This is very much in line with our vision to grow the number of CUBE Boutique Capsule Hotels to eight in Singapore in the next few years" added Ms. Tay.

RB Hospitality opened the first CUBE hotel in Singapore's Chinatown in 2016.
