Mobile Hotel Provides Room with a View

Is that a plane? A Martian spaceship? No, it’s Hotel Everland!

A Swiss artist duo, known for their artwork that invites viewer participation has created a mobile one room hotel. The room includes a bed, lounge and bathroom and can be hoisted onto any surface. Right now, it sits on the rooftop of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris with a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower. It will stay in Paris through the end of 2008.

Travelers looking to book a room can look forward to a fully stocked mini bar and breakfast service right to the door. There’s more than one touch of tongue in cheek humor – the golden embroidered towels come with a request to filch them.

Bookings are for one night only, although curious visitors can sneak a peek during the day. Seems the lure of living in a single portable room perched hundreds of feet above the ground is quite strong – Hotel Everland is booked through the end of December.
