Au Revoir to the Hotel Everland

Where: 13 avenue du Président Wilson, Paris, France, 75116

It's always hard bidding farewell, but when the, um, thing in question is well placed, cultured and seriously sexy, a little piece of the heart breaks. So we are shedding a little tear at the imminent demise of Hôtel Everland.

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 end of the month.

With a king-size bed, free minibar and a stonking, unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower (as well it should have, seeing as it sits 98ft above the ground and costs $488 a night), it was our dream hotel. Still, at seven years of age, with stints in Yverdon and Leipzig before reaching Paris in October 2007, it had a decent run. We're just sad we never got to try her out for ourselves. À la prochaine fois, notre amour.
