Where: Singapore

Cool Factor: "Pod" style hotels are common throughout Asia -- and Singapore, which has always been known for its luxury offerings, now has several hostels that incorporate this budget-friendly format. At Wink, each pod comes with power sockets, ambient backlight and LED lighting, locker storage, and 260-thread-count linens so you can create your own sleeping sanctuary (bathrooms are shared). You also get a Blackberry Playbook to use on the premises during your stay that is loaded with apps, games, and information about local restaurants, shopping and more.

Nightly Rates: $50 for a single; $90 for a queen
