10 one-room hotels where you can relax in a royal way
If you like to travel and relax, but do not like strangers near you, we have good news: there are at least ten amazing hotels in the world consisting of one room — and no one will bother you there.
For about $300 per night, you can enjoy an exclusive stay in the world's smallest hotel. A double room measuring only 2.4 by 3 meters is the only one in the hotel with a total area of 12 square meters. It is neatly placed right above the Central Café in Copenhagen, which is considered the smallest coffee shop in the Danish capital and accommodates only five visitors.
In a hotel room equipped with a TV and an iPhone charging station, there is just where to turn around, but no more. There is also a portrait of the famous British comedian Ronnie Barker hanging here, and not because he stayed here, but because the owner is his ardent fan.
Built on a private platform near the largest in Latin America suspension bridge of the Inkaterra Nature Protection Association at an altitude of about 27 meters, this hotel in the southeastern part of the Amazon in Peru offers first-class service and a unique experience of spending the night in the jungle.
The tree house is connected by a suspension bridge with a suspension road at a height of 31.4 meters, where you can go on a night tour. In this hotel, you actually sleep in the middle of the wilderness under the traditional palm leaf canopy for the Chama Indian tribe. To communicate with the receptionist, guests are given walkie-talkies.
Everland is a one-room hotel with a bathroom, a huge bed and a living room. At the same time, it is also an art installation, so the hotel is moving. It was parked in the most unusual places, including on the roof of the Museum of Modern Art in Leipzig and on the roof of the Tokyo Palace in Paris with a stunning view of The Eiffel Tower.
Given the uniqueness of the hotel, the price is quite adequate: you can rent a room with unique views from the window for 333 euros on weekdays or for 444 euros on weekends.
Opened in 2012, A Room for London is a one-room hotel in the form of a boat moored on the roof of the Queen Elizabeth Hall Concert Hall. The unusual design was developed by the socially-oriented company Living Architecture, which manages several amazing holiday homes across the UK, as well as the organization Artangel, which promotes projects by contemporary artists. The authors of the project - David Kohn Architects and artist Fiona Banner - were selected from more than 500 applications in an open competition. The hotel is inspired by the book "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad, describing the author's journey along the river in Congo at the end of the XIX century.
Although the hotel is located on land, its edges hang over the roof of the building, and it is located near the water. Guests can watch tugboats and river boats sailing along the Thames. Only two guests can be accommodated in the hotel at the same time (the names are determined by drawing lots, and an identity card is required upon check-in), who can stay there only one night. Guests are not allowed to invite visitors on board the hotel. A Room for London was supposed to work at first only during 2012, but an unexpected extension of the project period allowed the hotel to function to this day.
This house is on the second place in the list of the smallest hotels in the world. It is only 2.5 meters wide and occupies 53 square meters of space, but it is full of many modern details: from a flat-screen TV to a mini spa. Since there is only one room, only one couple can stay in the hotel at the same time. The building was built in 1728 by young people who wanted to get married, but the city head issued a decree according to which only couples who own houses could get married. To circumvent the law, the bride and groom chose a strip of land between two houses, erected walls in front and behind and covered the structure with a roof.
They presented it as their home, and the city council allowed them to marry. When the house fulfilled its purpose, the couple sold it to the next lovers with the same problem and moved into a more spacious rented house. Hence its name — "Wedding House". Today, this extraordinary hotel belongs to Marina Shriner, who receives couples from all over the world here. Local belief says that couples who stayed at the hotel live happily ever after.
The exclusivity of this hotel is priceless. Only a few lucky people managed to spend the night here. You may not even know about its existence, unless you are a regular at the Walt Disney World theme Park or a crazy fan of everything Disney. The entrance to the hotel at the foot of Cinderella's Castle does not stand out in any particular way. A simple door leads to an elevator that will take you to the only room in the fairy kingdom called The Cinderella Castle Suite.
The elevator doors open into the lobby, where you can see a single crystal slipper, a crown and a scepter, as well as several pumpkins. The room itself is very nice and at the same time quite small, about 60 square meters. There are two king-size beds in the bedroom and a folding sofa in the living room. In addition, the room is equipped with an electric fireplace with three hidden Mickey Mice. From the living room you can watch the night fireworks in the fairy kingdom. The stained glass windows depict the story of Cinderella in pictures - from a dirty girl to a princess. The room rate includes 24-hour concierge service.
Originally, Walt Disney's apartment was supposed to be located in this room, but he died before Disneyland opened. The room did not have any specific purpose until 2007, when during The Year of a Million Dreams campaign it became the main prize, which was awarded to one of the families every day. Some celebrities have also stayed at the amazing hotel. Kevin and Daniel Jonas celebrated their first wedding anniversary here, and Tom Cruise brought his daughter Suri here in the summer of 2012.
Guests can be sure of absolute attention to their personas, this hotel with a single room is located above a bistro in a French colonial townhouse and is equipped with a roof terrace, a huge bed, an open-air shower and a luxurious Jacuzzi. The central element of the 33-meter bedroom is a designer bed in the form of a sleigh — the main detail of the interior in a room with a high ceiling.
Guests are provided with an iPod player and a mobile phone. The bathroom on the terrace gets a lot of natural light from the garden behind the hotel. Double-glazed windows keep out the noise from the street at night when this part of the city is full of fun. The staff of the hotel are students of the local coaching school for Cambodian youth, and the chef of the bistro on the ground floor is known for his innovative Cambodian cuisine.
Have you ever spent a night in a cozy rectum? If you want to experience this unique pleasure, then the CasAnus Hotel near Antwerp is what you need. Originally a cyclopean work of modern art, this hotel is located in the Verbeke Foundation Art Park and is the creation of Dutch designer Jop van Lishoot.
The narrow, curved interior space of the furnished anus is furnished with a double bed, has windows, heating and, of course, running water. Outside, the hotel is decorated with swollen veins and a giant bulging (non-working) sphincter and is painted in a blood-red shade of internal organs.
The hotel practically does not fit into the idyllic space of the art park, where it is located near a quiet pond, nevertheless it has a smooth, natural outline. Despite the naturalistic appearance of the hotel, park visitors still stay overnight in the large rectum surrounded by black swans under a clear starry sky.
This art project was designed by Japanese Tatsu Nishi for the Estuaire 2009 Nantes-Saint-Nazaire Art Festival. "Villa Chimney" - a house on top of a factory chimney - offers a double bedroom with a kitchen and other necessary interior items. The hotel is designed for two. There is a stove that is heated with wood, as well as a small garden with a view of the Loire.
This 46-meter-high port crane has been turned into a hotel where guests can enjoy panoramic views over the Wadden Sea. Feel the power of more than 64 tons of steel in your hands by controlling the crane and choosing the type and location with a single button. The hotel can be rotated 360 degrees.
The double room is equipped with an electronic thermostat, futuristic lighting, a huge bed and a flat-screen TV. The Spartan stairs were replaced with two specially designed elevators. One of them will take you to the platform between the crane supports, and the second one will take you to the bedroom.
