We went to have a look at The Merlion Hotel today....
The Merlion Hotel was created specially by a Japanese artist, Mr Tatzu Nishi, for the Singapore Biennale, a showcase of local and international art. The Biennale will end on May 15.
From April 4 to May 5, people will stay nightly in the bedroom, at $150 a night. It was fully booked within an hour of the reservation hotline going live.
The hotel is open to the public for viewing from 10am to 7pm throughout the Biennale. Admission is free.
It is really quite ugly to look at from the middle down, as they didn't do anything to cover up all the scaffolding....
The inside was all nicely done up though... there's even a mini reception area right outside the room....
The highlight of the room: The Merlion head!
(Mummy find it quite weird to sleep with the head looming over you though...)
The view from the bathroom is great! There's a balcony right outside the bedroom as well, but we were not allowed to go there....
At the vanity area and one last shot at the reception area before going off.....
Bye Bye, Merlion Hotel....
We also took some photos of the scenery around the area.... do enjoy the photos below!
We walked to the Esplanade where we chanced upon a performance....
