How to recreate the Holiday 'Glamp' Inn experience at home

Missing the outdoors? Why not turn your living space into a glampsite and create a memorable experience for the entire family during your coronavirus quarantine?

The coronavirus lockdown is keeping most of us at home, making traditional holiday travels almost impossible in the very near future.

Worry no more! With the kids (and kids at heart!) at home, it’s an easy feat to recreate the magic of Glamp Inn with everyday items around the home, some help from the kids, and a little imagination.

Parents, get ready to enter a world of make-believe with Holiday Inn and its signature Glamp Inn experience.

As one of the leading hotel brands for families and taking the much-loved Kids Stay and Eat Free promise to new heights, Holiday Inn designed this at-home activity to help families reconnect with some child-like fun.

The concept was launched in Australia last year with furniture partner, Temple & Webster (Australia), where families were able to book a package across selected hotels across the region. Although the package isn’t available right now, here are some tips and tricks to make your own Glamp Inn experience at home.

How to glamp at home

Step 1:
Choose a color palette.

You can get creative with what you have at home, or, if you want to replicate one of the Holiday Inn Glamp Inn looks, sift through the four prepared looks below using Temple & Webster (Australia).

Step 2:
Find a cozy spot in your house.

Hint: Holiday Inn recommends finding a brightly lit spot near windows. Or gather house plants into a corner of a room and start setting the scene for an indoor ‘outdoor’ experience. This is where you’ll set up camp!

Step 3:
Gather your Glamp Inn items.

Ideally, you’ll need some pillows and cushions, a thick blanket, soft toys, your favorite books, and a throw rug.

Step 4:
Start with the rug to create your base.

Circular rugs work best, but any shape will do.

Step 5:
If you’ve got a teepee (great!), you’ve got a big head start.

If not, you can create one using a large cotton bedsheet (with funky designs preferred) as the canopy and recreate using tent poles or bamboo poles. Adult-supervision is recommended.

Step 6:
Now it’s the fun part! Gather up your items from step 3 and start to decorate your space.

Scatter the pillows inside along with the soft toys and cozy rugs to create a comfortable space. Fill with your favorite books or activities for the coolest hangout!

Step 7:
Lastly, what are some activities you can do at glamp?

We recommend entertaining your kids with black and white printouts from Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium for a short coloring activity.
