Wednesday, January 06, 2016. In Austriathey have made a hotel that offers cement pipes as rooms; Impressively, human creativity surprises every day with wonderful creations, and this has not been the exception. “Das Park Hotel”is the name of such a curious hotel center, offering rooms 100% equipped with a double bed, a shelf to store belongings, lights, electrical outlets, bedspreads, comfortable clothes for sleeping and a very original minimalist artistic design on its walls.
The creation of the hotel had the purpose of taking advantage of all the resources that are increasingly scarce for reuse, saving waste to the environment and building in a sustainable way; which is greatly valued by many tourists who get to know the great rooms.
The project was created thanks to the Austrian city council Ottenheimwhen placing three concrete tubes with 2.4 meters wide and 2.7 meters long each, in a public park; then the architect Andreas Strauss, he designed what is now known as the “Das Park Hotel”; where visitors have a place to sleep comfortably. For those who wish to be guests, restrooms are available at different locations around the park; well the service of cafeterias and a nice mini bar.
The most curious thing about this whole concept is the payment system; which adjusts to the budget of the people, that is to saythe hotel does not adjust any price to its clients, apart from that, it can be booked comfortably through the Internet; becoming a very attractive experience, especially for those who are exploring the world as «backpackers».
The tube rooms, without a doubt, are a great option; since it is a way of seeing the different possibilities that exist for the construction of shelters and simple houses, designed for those who do not have many financial resources; in addition to contributing to the preservation of the environment.
The “Das Park Hotel”, is only available from spring to autumn (May and October); because in that period the cement keeps the interior comfortable, eliminating the noise from the outside, in this way, a more “safe” environment is felt, bearing in mind that one is literally sleeping in a public space. Also, you have to take into account the material with which the rooms have been made, making the walls stay much cooler, even on a hot day.
Those who want to travel to see a new place, do not hesitate to go to Austria, and visit this wonderful hotel; where they will live an original experience, endowed with comfort in the company of nature.
