Hotel in a bunker?

This is the Zero Star Hotel. Yes, that’s right, this hotel has no stars. Well, if you search for such category in the Internet, you’ll probably find several hotels, but this is not an ordinary one. The low-budget hotel is an art installation which is located in the civil defense shelter in Sevelen, Switzerland, at several meters underground.

There are no windows, but the sense of claustrophobia is avoided by a camera which shows pictures from the surroundings on a big screen inside.

Zero Star Hotel is a concept made by the artist-twins Frank and Patrik Riklinсе from the Studio for Special Projects in St.Gallen, and is due to open in 2009.
