3. LOTTE HOTEL JEJU, Korea
We’re all familiar with the internationally renowned cat in pink (no, not the Pink Panther!). One of the first Hello Kitty hotel rooms in Korea, LOTTE HOTEL JEJU offers the complete experience – even the corridors are lined with Hello Kitty wallpaper. There are three variants: the kids’ room, the princess room and the ladies room, each with their own appeal!

4. Hang Nga Guesthouse, Vietnam
This one isn’t technically a hotel but it’s too whacky not to include – the Hang Nga Guesthouse transports you into a fantasy land that has some of the wildest-looking architecture. Also known as the Crazyhouse, there are 11 rooms each in uniquely shaped houses that are intertwined with nature. It really gives off an Alice in Wonderland feel to it – a great choice if you want an interesting themed hotel in Vietnam!

From ~S$160/night (accommodates four pax)
5. Baan Suan Noi Resort, Thailand
A little niche, but there are definitely parents out there who get the hype of a Hobbit-themed hotel like Baan Suan Noi Resort in Thailand. You’ll get to stay in a quaint hobbit hole just like the brave and courageous hobbits, Frodo and Bilbo! And check out a beautiful castle with Smaug the dragon standing “smaugly” at the entrance – let the kids run wild and explore.

From ~S$37/night
6. Green Village Bali, Indonesia
Living in a bamboo hut in the forest is a little different at Green Village Bali with its luxurious villas. Standing at six stories high and overlooking the Ayung River valley in Bali, the Sharma Springs villa is just one of 14 to choose from. These are meant to accommodate larger groups though, some with four rooms! But if the kids are fans of shows like Tarzan, the Green Village Bali definitely brings the jungle atmosphere while still having modern amenities and offering the utmost comfort.

From ~S$650/night
