Propeller Island City Lodge

This hotel was brought to my attention by robertgaz . So Robert, I hope you come and check out this place yourself one day :)

If you're looking to stay in some extraordinary place, stay at the Propeller Lodge. The rooms are individually designed. E.g. there's a mirror room or a room completely in orange. Not quite sure what a Feng Shui Master would have to say...

I didn't stay here myself though

You have to check out the rooms online. There are 30 rooms all completely different. All created by the German artist Lars Stroschen. The rooms vary from unusual to really bizarre. It depends on your taste and your sense of adventure. The room with the voyeur window is not for everyone. Nor is the coffin room.

We stayed in the Space-Cube room. It had a blue translucent wall for the bathroom, and black rubber shower curtain. Our bed had a crank next to it to lower an illuminated light panel that would separate the bed down the middle...incase you got tired of your travelling companion. You also have the option of listening to "the artists" music in your rooms.

In the morning after checkout you can get a tour of the rooms. The temple room looked the most comfortable. Propeller Island could be a really fun place to stay with kids. So many buttons and things to push in different rooms. Really interactive experience.

The dining area was a jungle theme with the sound of birds and rain.

It was not the most comfortable place to stay. Felt more like a "guys" project. Needed a feminine touch of warmth. The beds were hard and pillows and blankets minimal. but an experience!

Unique Quality: If you have any questions, reception is only open from 8:00 till 12:00 a.m. +49 - (0)30 - 891 90 16.

Directions: From Station Zoo. Take Bus 110, 119, 129, 219 to Leninerer Platz

If you are looking for something really different, the rooms in this converted apartment are pretty wild. Artist and musician Lars Stroschen has created each chamber as a sleeping experience from the Crystal Maze-type 'Symbol room' to the Toontown fantasy of the 'Burgzimmer'. Guests can prepare their own meals in the equally wacky kitchens or, if booked in advance, there is an 'aphrodisiac menu'(!) dinner available which will be specially cooked for you. Ideal for two couples travelling together as each pair of rooms shares a bathroom/WC and kitchen which is pretty much self-contained. There is no TV or phone in the rooms to disturb your enjoyment and the owner requires cash payment in advance as well as DM100 key deposit.
In the photo you can see the 'Castle Room'. Take a look in the web page for the others. They are amazing!
