So we are shedding a little tear at the imminent demise of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Everland/local/966">Hôtel Everland</a>. The art installation which took the convenient shape of a cutesy little tub-cum-hotel, squatting on the top of the Palais du Tokyo is going to that great hotel room in the sky at the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/05/travel/05COMeverland.html?_r=1&ref=travel">end of the month</a>.

This week, <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TRAVEL/02/09/unusual.hotels/">CNN</a> is leading the pack with a nice wrapup of nine (why not ten?) funky properties around the globe in "Strange Hotels, Unusual Places." Some have been covered to death, like the Hotel Everland capsule in Paris and any ice hotel, but we always love a good list and this one does bear a few pleasant surprises. Although we remember having seen it on a design blog in the past, Dasparkhotel in Austria has been laying low for a hotel made out of repurposed segments of drainpipe. If you're game

Then she skipped out of her apartment and took this shot for us so we could see what the Hotel Everland looks like right now. It's no TMZ live feed at the courthouse during Britney Spears' custody/conservatorship/mental illness trial but it's close. Also Monica offers this bit of advice: <blockquote>You can't actually visit it from the museum, you have to go on a 12-person-only guided tour at 4pm every day, which is always booked out.</blockquote>In other news: · If you frequently stay at Excel Inns, you should know they will be run by Wyndham Hotels now.
