Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin

This bonkers Berlin hotel created by artist Lars Stroschen is reverently described in the blurb as a ‘vision machine’. That’s one way of looking at it, but others would call it plain loopy.

Each of the 30 rooms has a theme and while some are understandable, attractive even – the chilled out sky room for example – some cater for far more, er, specialist tastes.

Take your pick from a gothic fantasy where guests sleep in coffins, a padded cell or a vomit-inducing room clothed in irregular mirrors. Other room choices include one with a psychedelic castle, a flying bed, a symbol room, a ‘space cube’ and a concrete dorm wrapped in tape.

The Propeller Island City Lodge is found in west Berlin at Albrecht Achilles Straße 58.

    Bedding down in an old gaol cell may not be the height of luxury, but at least you can unlock the door without the help of a guard.

    A museum dedicated to pot noodles might sound like a bit of a joke, but the story behind the instant noodle is a worthy and fascinating one.
