The Prizeotel Was an Experiment in 'Designocracy' for Karim Rashid

Where: Theodor-Heuss-Allee 12, Bremen, Germany, 28215

It's been a long, long time since we checked in on the prolific "Designer, DJ, Hotelier, Self Proclaimed World Changer" Karim Rashid but after we posted the Prizeotel's charming LipDup video yesterday, the hotel responded to us on Twitter, letting us know that Rashid is the man behind their hotel design. Prizeotel pointed us to this statement on their website where Rashid sums up his intention for Prizeotel:

prizeotel was a project in ‘Designocrasy’: high design affordable to all. Design is not for the elite or the rich. I have always wanted to design a very inexpensive hotel and prizeotel brought the opportunity! The concept had to be very smart and economical yet pleasurable and inspiring.

I maximized choices and used high performance materials and furnishings to have the greatest impact for the least amount of investment.

Prizeotel Does a 'LipDub' Birthday Video

Where: Theodor-Heuss-Allee 12, Bremen, Germany, 28215

We thought lipdubs had gone the way of Julia Allison last year but we have to make an exception for this one from the Prizeotel in Germany. The Bremen hotel put together an extensive lipdub production to celebrate the hotel's birthday. The song choice? Celebration by Kool and The Gang.

It's cute and we love their enthusiasm (not to mention the unintentional comedy is off the charts) but it's too bad this is the only thing we understand about Prizeotel since their website is entirely in German.

Anyone fluent in German want to help us translate what this hotel's about? Let us know. Even better, anyone actually stayed at the Prizeotel before? Tell us in comments below.

What's The Fluss?

Where: Langenstrasse 72, Bremen, Germany

Germany's new Hotel Ueber Fluss, which is located in Bremen's Weserpromenade on the river Weser (the name means "over the river") has some interesting facilities.

The city's first design hotel uncovered some medieval skirting wall during construction, and then promptly incorporated it into the sauna. The uber-sleek pool has LED lamps that enable the water to appear any color of the rainbow, blue, purple, orange, that you like.

Designed by a Dutch architectural firm Concrete, the 51 rooms are outfitted in high fashion furniture designs from Tom Dixon and Eames ware.

Unfortunately the hotel's website is in German, so we can't really understand what any of the amenities or services are like.
