Strange Stays

What a coincidence...

News.com.au is running a feature today called 'No room for the ordinary' by Brian Johnson (Sunday Mail/QLD) about unusual hotels. The story features photos of none other than Hotel FOX and a bunch of other interesting hotels.


One that particularly stood out was Das Park Hotel in Austria (above). The hotel is constructed entirely of re-purposed drain pipes that sit outside in a park. Outside, all amenities including toilet, shower, minibar, cafe, etc are available in the public space. Whilst inside, a small but comfortable sleeping area awaits - double bed, storage, lighting, power, blankets, pillows and a sleeping bag.

Not only is this concept hotel interesting in terms of design - Das Park Hotel uses a 'pay what you wish' system. This means a night at the hotel costs as much as you can afford - or want to pay!

Book a room at Das Park tonight!
