Sleep In Style    01.03.2008

Parisian contemporary art design museum Palais de Tokyo is hosting the most uncommon project of the year, a hotel room right on its roof. Designed and built by two young Swiss artists, Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann, the Everland Hotel, as it was named, was first installed in Switzerland and Germany before it reached the city of lights last November. The duo is known for their installations that invite the viewer to actively participate, an element which is integral in their newest project. Visitors will find themselves seemingly suspended on the edge of the sky, as the room hangs over 30 meters above the river Seine. The artists don’t expect much adulation for their project, as they’re just trying “to provide a night to think about the impact of contemporary art in our system of thought”. The room, or rather sculpture, faces the Eiffel Tower, and if you’re lucky enough to sleep in it your night will be an even more magical experience. New Year’s Eve night was sold on eBay for the modest price of 3810 euros (breakfast was included!), but don’t worry! You can have a romantic night is this retro-futurist art spot for a more reasonable price: 333 euros for weekdays, and 444 euros on weekends. Just make sure you’re one of the 365 people that get the chance to spend a night in Everland, as only one night bookings are available. Make your reservation here.
