Hotel Tubes located in a public park

The Danube Tubes

Dasparkhotel_01 Dasparkhotel is a hotel located in Ottensheim (near Linz) in Austria. Although there are only three rooms available, you're unlikely to find a place to stay quite like this anywhere else on the planet. Each room is constructed from a heavy duty drainage pipe, and comes complete with a full-size bed, light, linens, and outlet. Because the pipes are located in a public park, all the other amenities the savvy traveler requires is available in the immmediate area.

Travelers can book their stay by making reservations via the internet. They are then sent a code to unlock their room that is only good for the duration of their reserved time. When guests are ready to move on, they simply leave an amount of money that they believe is fair. Can you imagine such a thing in the USA? Not likely, we're afraid.
