Hotel On The Park
We all have very fond memories of the old Theme Park Hotel. Filled with many nostalgic moments through the generations the Theme Park Hotel was indeed a place that brought many happy memories for the entire family. The old Theme Park Hotel have now received a new look and design.
It is now reopened and called Hotel On The Park. Hotel on the Park is a boutique hotel that is not only affordable but filled with its fun and playful décor. In the past, they could only host 2 to 3 guest per room, 4 if you really squeeze it in. But now fear not, the new hotel can now host up to 6 people in a room. 
The rooms are designed in a cute Tatami-style where the beds are on a raised platform. The platform itself holds many tricks, your luggage all goes into the slots and there is even a safe hidden to store all your valuables. As for the design of the room itself, everything reminds me of the home a certain cartoon character. 
They may no longer have a hotel restaurant but there is a grab and go F&B outlet named Eatopia. It is a place for you to either grab and munch along the way or seat and view their back garden as you enjoy your coffee with a muffin or even a nasi lemak. 
There are many places of interest around the hotel. At the back of the hotel, you are able to find a highly instagrammable spot and the Sky Avenue is just a mere 5 minutes walk away. Also try taking photos when it’s dark around the hotel, the red lights makes it feel very sci-fi.
