But there's no call for major alterations with the conversion, just some new paint, rewiring of the building and guest room furnishings. In a perfect world, they'll have wi-fi access, too.<p> The hotel will open July 25th with a big reception, where fans of the Trapp family singers and the movie can tuck themselves in for the night in the very mytwocents 2008-05-14T09:15:49-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/3/19/62535/9609 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/cube_hotelNassfel.jpg" class="imgborder"/><p>If you're going to chill out in the Alps--Swiss or Austrian, take your pick--then a pretty cool way to do it is in <a href="http://www.cube-hotels.com/en/Cube_Concept.html">Cube Hotels</a>.
