If you’re looking for a hotel with a fresh take on interior design, check out Vibe Hotel Singapore Orchard, a brand originating from the Land Down Under.

Its geometric and rounded furnishings also contrast against the clean lines and minimalistic approach of a regular hotel.
Their in-house restaurant serves Aussie-inspired dishes to chow down on. Though if you’d like to grill some shrimps on the barbie, you can do so at the pool area that comes with outdoor BBQ spots.
