Dasparkhotel, the brainchild of Andreas Strauss, is located in Ottens-heim, near Linz in Austria.
Created for use in parks and temporary spaces for outdoor festivals, the drains are 2m in diameter and contain a custom-made bed, an electrical outlet, and the ends are capped off with some cool mural art. There are no bathrooms. The first three protoypes are located near public washrooms, and café / bars so you’re never to far from the necessities for civilized living.
You have to book your room in advance online, then you’re given a personal security code to gain access to your room. There is no set rate for your room either – you can leave as much or as little money as you feel your stay was worth.
I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely making a plan to stay at this hotel just to say that I did.
