Item for the Wish List: Hotel Everland, Paris

I learned of the Hotel Everland while reading the Economist's Paris city briefing, which I will include below because I think the link will be overwritten with the next briefing update.

"Business travellers tired of their usual hotel can spend a night on the roof-top of the Palais de Tokyo. Hotel Everland, a capsule hotel created by two Swiss artists, perches 30 metres above ground level and overlooks the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. The one-room hotel, which comes with a luxurious bathroom and 24-hour room service, doubles as an art installation, and has already travelled to cities in Germany and Switzerland. Paris is its last port of call. Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann intend viewers to become part of their artwork (for about €400 or $560 a night). The thrill of walking through a contemporary-art museum to reach your bed might just be worth it. The hotel can be booked online."

The Palais de Tokyo itself is a cool space.

It is situated just across the Seine from the Eifel Tower. You can get some pretty cool views from right nearby the museum. The views you'd enjoy while staying a night at Hotel Everland must be simply amazing.
