This month one of the most unusual hotels in the world opened in Poland. Blow Up Hall 50 50 is a luxury hotel in Poznan, Poland, which is themed around electronic art. It is built around an interactive art project by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, which consists of 2,400 scrambled images of hotel guests doing whatever they’re doing. The hotel has 22 bedrooms and instead of being given a key for your room, you are instead given an iPhone to locate your room (especially handy as none of the rooms have numbers). The action of reserving a room is also unconventional. When you make your reservation you are presented with three colours, three pictures and three numbers. The choices you make, dictate what spirit animal you are and you then booked a room accordingly. Sounds like amazing fun!

New electronic art hotel in Poland
March 27th, 2009New Legoland hotel!
January 23rd, 2009Legoland California has received permission from the City of Carlsbad Planning Commission to build the first Legoland Hotel in the US. However, the owners of Legoland still need permission from Carlsbad City Council and the California Coastal Commission to build the new hotel. This is not the first Legoland Hotel in the world, as there is currently one at Legoland Billund in Denmark. The hotel in Denmark was built in 1991 and has 176 rooms. The new hotel will be built on the carpark next to the entrance to Legoland and aims to turn the park into more than just a one-day attraction. The first phase of construction will contain 175 rooms, a 14,383-square-foot restaurant, 11,051-square-foot retail space, a 6,364-square-foot bar/lounge, an outdoor pool and a water play area. I can’t wait!!
