A first in Southeast Asia to use upcycled buses as guest rooms, The Changi Bus Resort will use 20 decommissioned public buses to create a vibrant and homey stay for guests.
Parked next to Changi Village Hawker Centre, The Changi Bus Resort sprawls over 8,600 square metres of land. It features upcycled public buses bought from public transport provider SBS. From what we know, each room will come with a barbecue pit, yoga, pilates, and other wellness programs, paving the way to making Singapore a more eco-friendly tourist destination.
