Would You Spend The Night in a Hamster Tunnel 'Hotel'?

August 12, 2009 at 9:54 AM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Here at HotelChatter, we're always interested in what future trends are on the horizon for hotels--whether it be sleek-looking Jenga-esuqe buildings or keyless doors or eco-technology. We also like to see what sort of unusual hotel lodgings are trying to get built out there like underwater hotels, the Death Star Hotel and the Egg Hotel. But this one has thrown us for a loop--The Hamster Tunnel Hotel.

Inhabitat.com reports:

This modular, mobile Snuggles hotel allows you to shack up in pods for an artsy camping experience not dissimilar to staying in oversized hamster cage tunnels. The project crosses the boundaries of temporary architecture and public art with its linkable framework, configurable platforms, and waterproof textile coverings. Able to be set up on a beach, in the forest, or in an urban environment, Snuggles offers a fun experience that’s on par with even the trendiest hostels.

The project comes, not surprisingly, from a Berlin-based design team. When you head on over to their site the project is called, "Snuggles--Das Mobile Hotel." Hah.

We do admit this would be a killer way to do go camping with your friends or especially if you could set up something like this at Coachella. We can totally see Lily Allen falling out of her snuggle with a vodka bottle in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

The design team, Raumlabor, just needs a "perfect investor" for das mobile hotel. Someone help them out please? Just so we can get the first review.
