Never...ever...land

Oh how I wish that I, like Susie Bubble, was off to Paris this weekend. There are, of course, many reasons for this, not least of which is that there's never really a bad time to visit Paris, but mainly because it would give me the opportunity to spend a night at the Hotel Everland...a one-room hotel cum art installation created by Swiss artist-duo L/B (Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann). The pod-tel has spent time in Switzerland and Germany and is currently residing upon the top of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.

It's a bijou resting place, worthy of Barbarella, and comprising a bathroom, king-size bed and a lounge...no room service, no lobby, no mint on your pillow...but you do get incredible, uninterrupted views of the Eiffel Tower, a fully-stocked mini-bar (which is included in the cost of your stay...try and find that at a regular hotel), and a record collection for a little entertainment (as if the scenery wasn't enough).

In fact, this could be the ultimate bed and breakfast for Marlene Dietrich types, i.e. those who "want to be alone"...but also want breakfast delivered to their door.
