This entirely white room can be darkened and illuminated at your desire with a variety of artifical lamps. A mirror located above the bed allows you to see yourself 'in another light' - spectrally therapeutic and very spectacular! Windows and wasbasin are hidden behind soft white plush.
In the wooden room the separate beds can both be reached with ladders at heights of 1 and 2 metres respectively. The bathroom has walls made of transparent red glass (though the washbasin and WC can be secluded with a curtain). On the walls you find chair upholstery from grandma's days. A beautiful balcony!
The Hotel des Arts has several painted rooms like this one, which can only be booked by calling the hotel directly. We are still trying to figure out what this one, painted by an artist known as ‘Buff Monster’, is all about…
The world’s first sand hotel was constructed in 2008 on this English beach, weighing 1000 tonnes and costing just $21 a night.

Really small. 7 square metres small. You can book a room for a few hours or a few nights from just 25 pounds.

From top to bottom and all around the bed, everything is upholstered with green leather. A kingly or queenly room where one can hear his own heart beat when the spirit grows weary. Small but exquisite, and undeniably noble on top of that!
Propeller Island City Lodge Berlin, Germany. This strange hotel is the work of artist Lars Stroschen. Each room has a different theme.
