Hotelier Ng Ping Ho has no qualms about letting creative ideas (or creatives) run free at his latest hospitality venture
“Whenever I get stuck (with ideas), I like to seek out a creative person,” says Ng Ping Ho, the television director turned hotelier.
The problem? Ng had five rooms double the size of a standard room in his new KLoé Hotel. At first he thought of converting them into family suites but it didn't sound special enough.
So he turned to Lisette Scheers of Nala Design who suggested converting them into branding tools for the hotel by working with a creative collaborator. “I thought that was a good idea,” he concurs.
He ended up working with five collaborators, each given a chance to create his or her own loft. They are Room To Read, Room To Grow, Room To Listen, Room To Taste and Room To Draw, and they quickly became talking points among travellers as soon as the hotel received its first guests in February.
