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 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.
