Container Hotel

Kuala Lumpur


Stacked shipping containers are converted into en-suite rooms at this inventive place. Deviating from the industrial design theme, a number of containers house safari-style tents for an indoor 'camping' experience; we preferred the beds in giant concrete cylinders. The concrete and campsite rooms share bathrooms.

There's a cafe onsite or you can grab breakfast at Levain nearby.
