Themed room hotels are becoming increasingly
popular throughout Europe. The concept of decorating each room on
individual artists works and varied themes has elevated the concept of
the hip hotel to new heights.
Berlin's Propeller Island City Lodge is
the latest offering in the art room hotel genre. Unlike many other art
hotels, PICL is very reasonably priced whilst maintaining a very high
room standard. The 30 rooms vary dramatically in their style. From the
Forest room, where your mattress floats on a series of logs surrounded
by red walls through to the Gruft room, where your two separate beds
are white coffins. The variety within the hotel is what makes it so
appealing. Where other hotels focus more on the work of individual
artists by way of reproducing their two dimensional art, PICL's
direction is very much more based on art installations. The result is a
wonderfully unique hotel, in a league of it's own. by Billy T
