Stay In A Bus! A Staycation With A Twist: The Bus Collective At Changi Village In Singapore
Upcycled Bus Suites Meet Resort-Style Living Just Steps From Changi Beach—A Playful Blend Of Nostalgia, Comfort, And Eco-Hospitality.
Get ready for the quirkiest staycation in Singapore! Nestled on 8,600 sqm at 5 Telok Paku Road, The Bus Collective is Southeast Asia’s first resort hotel made from decommissioned SBS buses. The compound boasts 20 bespoke 45 sqm suites—each a fully refurnished single-decker complete with a private patio, BBQ pit, flat-screen TV, rain shower, minibar, and Wi‑Fi. With the preserved driver’s cockpit and original fixtures still intact, guests of all ages can enjoy the charm of bus nostalgia with the comfort of resort amenities.
What sets this whimsical retreat apart is the variety of room configurations—from romantic round-bed suites in “Queen Victoria” to family layouts like “Pioneer North” and group-friendly “Hamilton Place” and “Clarke Quay.” Beyond the buses, amenities include an on-site bar & restaurant, concierge, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, bike rentals, and easy access to Changi Village Food Centre, river trails, and Changi Beach Park. It’s a staycation that combines play, convenience, and Instagram-ready moments.
