Culture :: Mobile Hotel Rooms For The Art Crowd
Everything is going mobile - spas, art galleries, shops, and now hotels. How about a one room hotel for those who just can't get enough culture? Paris' contemporary art museum, Palais de Tokyo, is now topped with a one room hotel that's all about art. In fact, it's a work of living art, functioning as a museum exhibit and lodging. As described in E-hotelier, "it looks like the bachelor pad of an imaginary pop star from 1972", with curvy beige sofas, turquoise tiled bathroom and record player with the music to go with it. The Hotel Everland comes to the Palais from a stand at the Gallery for Contemporary Art in Leipzig, and is the creation of Swiss artists Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann. And no, an overnight stay doesn't come with the cost of admission. Guests pay 333 Euros per night weekdays and 444 Euros on Weekends. The catch? Guests have to make the room available to museum visitors during the day (let's hope it comes with a safety deposit box). The exhibit runs until the end of this year. Guests can book online but stay for only one night.
