Looks like Mario and Luigi aren’t the only ones hanging around sewer pipes all day. In Das Park Hotel, you’ll have the unique experience of staying the night in a one-of-a-kind bed and breakfast (though technically speaking there are now two: one in Germany and the other in Ottensheim, Austria).
Rather than paying for lavish chandeliers and extravagant bedspreads, at Das Park Hotel, you decide how much your stay was worth.
Created with standard concrete drainage or sewer pipe sections, Das Park Hotel rooms are a unique blend of utilitarian design with user-friendly decorating. Rooms are simple but inexplicably appealing. Wall paintings add a homey touch to these sturdy and robust bedrooms, and not surprisingly, these sewer pipe rooms need very little maintenance.
Of course, vandalism may seem a temptation for many guests, but for the most part, Das Park Hotel is family friendly environment. Rooms stay pleasantly cool in summer and undoubtedly warm during the winter. For added protection and security, Das Park Hotel provides uses with advanced lock and electronic keypad systems.
Rooms include full headroom, double beds, storage, electricity, warm blankets, and light cotton sleeping bags. Other necessities such as showers, minibars, cafes, and toilets are supplied by the surrounding public space. Whether you can afford to travel and are looking for the ultimately unique experience, or if you’re simply trying to budget your money, Das Park Hotel can accommodate your needs because lodging is as little or as much as guests are willing to pay.
