Hotel in the Park
This would have been more helpful last week, but it is still noteworthy. DasParkHotel is a series of single-occupancy rooms in Linz, Austria, site of the Ars Electronica festival. Tourists can book the rooms online, and pay whatever amount they can. As the hotel has no facilities beyond sleeping rooms, guests should plan to use facilites like nearby showers in the public pool, and bathrooms in museums (the web site has a map of local facilities). The intent is great, but the open hole in the top of the cylinder raises the question of how to keep out unwanted intruders (human and animal), rain, and bugs.
