Trends :: Exclusivity epitomized by one-room hotels

Want a "singularly" unique travel experience? For those travelers who don't want to share or just be showered with undivided attention and service should try one of these: Within a stone's throw from Ankor Wat, one of the world's most ancient and magnificent temple complexes, stands the aptly named The One Hotel Angkor in Siem Reap, Cambodia. And it's just that: a one suite hotel offering stylish design and ultimate privacy. The staff is devoted to you and you alone - you literally have the whole place to yourself. Perfect for those seeking to combine luxe accommodation and culture.

Feeling creative and want partake in an artistic project that explores architecture and space? Then book Hotel Everland for a night. It's a one-room, pod-style hotel perched atop the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. Inside the mod green and white pod, is a king size bed, a fully working bathroom beautifully tiled in blue mosaics, a large lounge and mini-bar. However, unlike most commercial establishments, guests are only allowed to stay one night and it's open to museum visitors during the day. The views of the Eiffel Tower are unparalleled, but hurry, the exhibit is only running until the end of 2008.

Looking for something more avant garde? Check out a more "modest" part of Berlin's hotel industry - The Single Room Hotel by French artist, Etienne Boulanger. It's a windowless room contained within four walls of billboards, only accessible by stepladder. This inhabitable module was set up according to the standards of a 2-star hotel room and offers a cozy interior including electricity, heat, and hot water with electricity and running water. The billboards not only provide the hotel's architecture but also its economic sustainability, as Boulanger leased the hotel's facade to advertising companies. So while the billboards serve their purpose to draw attention to themselves, they conversely offer an urban camouflage so that its guests can go unnoticed.

If you know of any other one-room hotels of interest, please let us know.
