Hotel Everland
A project by the artist-duo L/B - Sabing Lang (born 1972 in Bern), Daniel Baumann (born 1967 in San Francisco). Their biography literally is pages of art installations and projects that have been mapped all over the world.
Everland is a Hotel with only one room including a bathroom, a king-size bed and a lounge. The bouneous dimensioned room represents the subjective dream of a hotel: the architecture, the playful details, as well as the request to steal the golden embroidered bath towels. Basically all Everland guests were partaking in the project.
Also the concept for operating the hotel was defined by the artists. All facets are important constituents of the artistic idea: The room can be booked for one night only, the mini-bar is fully stocked and included in the price, breakfast is delivered to the door and a record collection stands at ones disposal.
The Tour
Hotel Everland was first developed on invitation of the Curator Gianni Jetzer for the Exhibition concept "Everland" at the Swiss national exhibition in the year 2002. The Hotel was planned by L/B and built in Burgdorf.
It was then transported to Yverdon where it was located on the lake of Neuchatel for 4 months. After the end of Expo 02', the mobile pavilion was brought to Brugdorf and was placed on the factory roof at L/B studio.
From June 2006 until September 2007 the one room hotel was exhibited and run as a Hotel on the roof-deck of the Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig, Germany.
As a last destination Hotel Everland moved to Paris from October 2007 until spring 2009. High above the city, with a view on the Eiffel Tower, it is installed on the roof of Palais de Tokyo. It was also possible to book the room for the night or visit it during the day.
A book about the project is available by Christoph Merian Verlag.

Amazzzing!
I admire those who think outside the box...
Great new week dear~
Think I would love the view in Paris. I wonder if the room inspired the guest book creativity or if the guests the room attracted were those of a creative bent. Interesting post. Have a great week. x Julie
Wow that is pretty spectacular! I've never heard of it before - thanks for sharing with us.

I'm sad to hear they won't be continuing this project -- it sounds like spending a night in (or I suppose really becoming a part of) an art exhibit. Fascinating!
Just a tiny bit scared of heights, so it sort of freaked me out. Interesting post.

Oh wow... I actually passed this the other day with my husband - pointed at it and joked.. "I wonder if someone lives there". He said it'd be a terrific view for an apartment but we had no idea it was actually a hotel. Thanks for clearing this up! A fascinating concept I must say! I wouldn't mind trying that out for a night or two..
