In the 1970s, Hungarian sculptor, Erno Rubik ignited minds and imagination when he created the 3-D combination puzzle originally called the Magic Cube but now better as Rubik\u2019s Cube. The cube was, at the same time, known as a symbol of simplicity and complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to 21st<\/sup> Century Singapore and two\nproperties called CUBE are creating a sensation in hospitality for their\nsimplicity and complexity. Based upon the Japanese concept that originated in\nJapan in the 1970s, CUBE Chinatown and CUBE Kampong Glam offer simplistic\ncapsule accommodation for travellers who basically want a bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nhusband and wife partnership of Benedict (Ben) Choa and Sonya Anya Tay are the\ndriving force behind the concept, which is set to open another outlet aimed at\nfamilies in Chinatown soon. Sonya Tay is the Chief Operating Officer who claims\nthat while the capsules appear simple, getting things right is quite a complex\nprocess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\nadds, \u201cThe needs of travellers are changing and while many still require full\nhotel facilities, a growing number of young and adventurous travellers are more\nthan happy with a bed at a budget price. They claim that the money they save on\na room can be better spent on experiences, activities, meals and even\nshopping.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nsuch, CUBE offers single and queen beds each in its own capsule. Each capsule\nis designed to moderate its own temperature and air-flow and is insulated to\nreduce outside noise. They are fitted with universal electrical outlets, safe,\nmirror\/vanity area, bedside light, a space for hanging garments, and a locker\ndrawer with digital security. Work desks and complimentary wi-fi are provided.\nBreakfast is served in a relaxed communal dining area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Female\ntravellers can choose to stay in the women-only rooms (only in Kampong Glam).\nBathrooms have showers, hairdryer and toiletries and guests are provided with a\ndental kit, slippers and towel, upon check-in. A washing machine with\ncomplimentary detergent is also available for guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUBE Boutique\nCapsule Hotels are owned and managed by RB Hospitality. The group\u2019s current\npremise is to provide affordable, restored heritage accommodation located in\npopular conservation and cultural enclaves targeted at digitally-inclined\ntravellers. Sonya Tay explains CUBE provides compact accommodation for those\nwho like to be out and about and not spend time in their hotel room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
