X-TREME HOTEL - BERLIN

Themed room hotels are becoming increasingly popular throughout Europe. The concept of decorating each room on individual artists works and varied themes has elevated the concept of the hip hotel to new heights.

Berlin's Propeller Island City Lodge is the latest offering in the art room hotel genre. Unlike many other art hotels, PICL is very reasonably priced whilst maintaining a very high room standard. The 30 rooms vary dramatically in their style. From the Forest room, where your mattress floats on a series of logs surrounded by red walls through to the Gruft room, where your two separate beds are white coffins. The variety within the hotel is what makes it so appealing. Where other hotels focus more on the work of individual artists by way of reproducing their two dimensional art, PICL's direction is very much more based on art installations. The result is a wonderfully unique hotel, in a league of it's own.
