“Außergewöhnliche Hotels – 8 verrückte Unterkünfte weltweit” ist eine Kompilation von Katja Devaux. Redaktion Claudia Bohm. Dieser Film wurde 2023 im Auftrag des Hessischen Rundfunks produziert. Alle Aussagen und Fakten entsprechen dem damaligen Stand und wurden seitdem nicht aktualisiert.

SUBTITLE: Hessischer Rundfunk SUBTITLE: Hessischer Rundfunk You can do it in the caravan, wrapped up warm on beds made of ice or between gold and kitsch. Get out of your own four walls and into adventure! Experience luxury and extravagance for one night! Our first hotel is in the far north of Sweden: in Lapland.

More precisely: in the small town of Jukkasjärvi with just around 600 inhabitants. Jukkasjärvi is located 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. Snow and ice everywhere! A very special experience awaits the curious: a night on the ice. Where are we going now? – Inside the Ice Hotel!

31 years ago, Yngve Bergkvist had the spectacular idea of ​​accommodating guests in ice-cold surroundings. It takes us about six weeks every year to build the hotel. The hotel: 20 double rooms and 15 artist-designed suites. This is one example for an Ice Suite? Yes, this is an ice suite,

For me one of the most beautiful places to sleep. It’s -5 degrees. But you sleep in a warm sleeping bag. Every year artists can apply with their spatial designs. Yngve Bergkvist receives inquiries from all over the world. He chooses around 30 from the many suggestions. The artists then have two weeks

To design the rooms: fleeting beauty just for one winter. Costs per night: depending on the season and equipment, approx. 400 to 650 euros. The inventor of the ice hotel even thought of a banquet hall, for very special weddings, for example. It’s really nice.

The ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi is the oldest of its kind and has made the small town in Lapland famous. People from all over the world travel to the far north of Europe to see the house made of ice . However, it was not clear to the inventor from the start

That his idea would be so successful . Yes, I believed in it. But I didn’t even know how that could actually work. How should I? This is the first ice hotel in the world. We didn’t actually know anything. We had to keep looking for new solutions. Most important question:

Where do you get enough ice for such a large building? The solution: the frozen Torneälf river. In March we get the ice, big blocks, about 2000 blocks of ice, each weighing two tons. 2.50 meters long, one meter thick and one meter wide. The ice blocks are stored in a hall.

Over the years, Yngve and his team have further perfected the way they handle the cold building material. The ice sawmill resembles a carpentry and furniture workshop. The construction method: Large metal stencils are sprayed with a mixture of snow and ice. If the building material is frozen, the formwork is removed.

Then it’s the turn of the ice artists. Every winter around 15,000 guests come to the ice hotel, including Susan and Jack from London. It was great. It was pretty warm. And it was surprisingly warm in the sleeping bag. In winter, 150 employees ensure that guests lack nothing

And that everything always looks white and clean. Since 2016, you can even sleep on ice beds all year round, opposite in the “Icehotel 365”, and chill out at the ice bar. The temperature: -5 degrees all year round. Yes, it works. We have a cooling system with cooling lines and pipes

That are 14,000 meters long in total. We get the energy for this from our solar system. “Absolutely sustainable,” says Yngve. Some of the deluxe suites even have private and heated bathrooms. However, they also cost around 800 euros per night and more. The ice hotel has made the town of Jukkasjärvi very famous.

Not for nothing, because sleeping so comfortably in the ice is pretty unique. * cheerful music * It’s warm on the California coast between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Another hotel discovery awaits in the small town of San Luis Obispo. The journey there alone is a dream.

Always along Highway 1, the mighty Pacific to your side. Here you can really say: “The journey is the destination!” It’s worth stopping every now and then in the many small and large towns that line up along the highway. Monterrey, the city where John Steinbeck set a literary monument

With his novel “The Road to the Sardines” . Or Santa Barbara, just outside Los Angeles, with one of the most beautiful beaches in central California. And of course San Francisco, perhaps the most beautiful but certainly the most liberal city in California. The journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles takes one day.

The icing on the cake is an overnight stay at the “Madonna Inn” in San Luis Obispo. Certainly the most unusual hotel on Highway 1! Outside like a country castle in the mountains, inside very kitschy. All gold and pink! Over homemade cake, company president Clint Pearce

Tells us about his in-laws, the builders of the motel. Alex and Phyllis Madonna founded and built the “Madonna Inn”. Alex’s parents came to the USA from Italian-speaking Switzerland. That’s why he had an image in his head for the hotel of stone, wood

And many things he saw as a child on his travels in Europe. He wanted to build something different from other places in California. Something to remember. It starts with the cakes. Black Forest cake based on the German model is made in the hotel’s own bakery. Or the guests’ favorite cake:

Champagne cream with pink chocolate. They sell about 100 of these on bad days. It must be because of the color! The fact that everything here is pink is not the fault of founder Phyllis Madonna. It was her husband’s admittedly unusual idea. He was actually so masculine and macho. But he always said

Pink was the perfect color for a background. Can be combined well and also looks good on women. And he loved women! He just thought pink would be a good theme that could recur anywhere. Also, there were no other hotels in that color. So he could be very original

And do something completely his own. All 110 hotel rooms are original and, above all, individual. None of them are the same as any other or any hotel room you have ever seen anywhere. All pieces of furniture are handmade. An American furniture designer spent a week in the hotel.

He inspected the premises and then designed each piece of furniture specifically for its corresponding room. * upbeat music * They just wanted to be unique and use all their imagination to turn all kinds of ideas into reality. There are Swiss chalets, Austrian suites. There are many different cultures and areas

Represented in the rooms. They thought it would be fun to basically take a trip around the world. The hotel complex also includes a large sports and wellness area. Pink parasols by the swimming pool of course! And, to top it off, a pink tennis court. Kind of crazy! It’s not right for everyone.

Some people find the “Madonna” vulgar, others wonderful. Alex Madonna wants his guests to come with a smile and leave with a smile. You will definitely not forget this stay in a hurry. From America to Poland in the Hirschberger Valley, just behind the Polish-German border. * The woman speaks Polish. *

Elisabeth von Küster is currently taking a tour of her home. She is the mistress of Lomnitz Castle. The German has never attended a Polish course. She just listened carefully for years. I lead the tour in three languages. I am most relaxed in German, moderately relaxed in English and stressed in Polish.

The children know full well that they have a real noblewoman under their noses. Then they always look at me in astonishment and are disappointed for a second, I get the impression. Of course, they all live in the world of Walt Disney Cinderellas and secretly ask themselves: “Where is the sash?”

“Where is the crown? What kind of shoes are those? But after two or three seconds they compose themselves and are always very sweet and trusting and very nice. Elisabeth von Küster has five children of her own. But they are only at home on weekends, just like her husband.

During the week, Elisabeth has no storms here. The crucial rooms were in the back area. This is the garden hall, for example. The fact that Lomnitz looks like this again today is the result of courageous decisions and a lot of effort. Originally it had Belongs to the family.

Elisabeth and her husband Ulrich von Küster bought it back after the fall of communism. But it wasn’t as beautiful as it is today. It was a complete shock. Because the castle was a ruin and looked so horribly ugly that I said: “That’s supposed to be a castle?” “That’s an ugly box!”

The roof had collapsed. The ceilings had collapsed. It was pretty clear, even from an outsider’s perspective: Another winter and the history of Lomnitz has an abrupt end. That’s why we decided within a day: “We’re going to buy this castle!” And they started their “castle restoration” project in a prominent neighborhood.

Because Lomnitz is only one of 30 castles in the Hirschberger Valley. So there is a lot to see in the area. Some properties became luxury hotels, others schools or company headquarters. Lots of impressive buildings, one after the other. And Lomnitz? Next to the large castle there is still the old widow’s castle.

The von Küsters turned it into a small country hotel with 17 very cozy rooms. The castle is called “Little Castle”, also called “Widow’s Castle”. It was built as a retirement home for the older women in the family in 1803. Today you no longer have to be a widow

To live in the “Little Castle”, an advantage of the 21st century. Von Kuesters are happy about every guest. In the estate, which is part of the property, fresh cooking is done every day using vegetables and herbs from the kitchen garden. This is a project close to Elisabeth’s heart.

That’s why she particularly likes to check that things are going well here. The soil is so poor! The current harvest is processed in the estate’s school kitchen. * They speak in Polish. * Some things are then served on the table in the restaurant. Some things end up in the farm shop.

Mr. Woitek is making elderflower syrup today. And Mrs. Mariola has created a new jam. It’s an experiment. These are strawberries with lavender flowers, supposedly an aphrodisiac for men, she says. I still eat it as a woman and am very curious about the effect. Lavender, yes.

I’m not entirely convinced. It reminds me of linen closet. When you open the cupboard and there’s that lavender scent… But if it has the great magical effect for men, then you just have to eat it. Medicine! Or would you rather have strawberry jam with elderflowers?

At least it was found to be good and has already gone into series production, like other fine mixtures from the kitchen. And in the historic linen store, guests will find fabrics and nice decorations, many of which they designed themselves. Staying overnight at Lomnitz Castle means

Enjoying a whole feel-good package in extremely friendly surroundings. We want to grow old here in Lomnitz. Because we see this as paradise on earth. A paradise for guests too! The next hotel is in a less tranquil place: in the port city of Rotterdam. Rotterdam has its finger on the pulse of the times.

Anyone who expects “cute” Holland will be amazed. Everything is in motion here. There is constant coming and going on the Meuse. The gigantic exchange of goods makes the port of Rotterdam one of the most important transshipment points in the world. It is also a hub for people.

The brick building on Wilhelminapier stands like an antiquated dwarf between modern giants . And yet: The “Hotel New York” is an icon. Where guests enjoy star service today, emigrants set off for America until the 1970s. Usually with nothing but a ticket for the transatlantic journey in their pocket.

Welcome to the “Hotel New York! My name is Ellen Spoor and I am the marketing manager of the hotel. The former administrative headquarters of the shipping company “Holland-America Line”. Their ships ran the regular service between Rotterdam and New York for a century . They brought around a million migrants from Europe to America.

The spirit of the time, when Europeans seeking happiness flocked to the new world, has remained. Just like the heavy walled-in safes of the profitable shipping company. The immigrants generally paid for their passage to America with cash. They were poor people, without accounts, checks or credit cards. They only had hand money.

And all the small change from all parts of Europe was kept in these safes behind these thick doors. They came with great hope and little change in their luggage, looking for a better life. They paid for the farewell sip with the last hellers, pennies, cents or kopecks.

Where tickets used to be handed over the counter, today people feast. Unlike administrative employees of the Holland-America Line, guests today enjoy a clear view from large windows. This did not correspond to company policy at the time. Lower-level employees sat low. High window sills guaranteed hard work.

It’s wonderful to work in this nostalgic place. Many details date from the time of the Holland-America Line. For example these stairs. It is with great pleasure that we show our historic living concept to guests who come to Rotterdam . This is one of the 72 rooms. It used to be a director’s office.

You can see this in the wall paneling, which is still original, and in the open fireplace. The person who had his office here was a high-ranking employee of the shipping company. You can also see this clearly on the low window sill. Anyone who worked here had a good view.

He kept track of the lucrative business. She has long since been released from liner service to New York and has been anchored in Rotterdam’s Katendrecht district for several years as a hotel and museum ship : the steamship “SS Rotterdam”, flagship of the Holland-America Line

And the largest passenger ship ever built in the Netherlands became. We’re on a date with someone who knows the Grande Dame better than the back of her hand. My name is Jannes Schuurhuis. Welcome aboard the Steamship Rotterdam! I worked on the ship for six years. First as a machinist for four years,

Then for two years I was responsible for repairs in the kitchen, laundry and passenger lounges. She traveled the world’s oceans for four decades, ten of which were on liner service to New York with 17,500 hp in seven and a half days. The ocean giant was considered ultra-modern, particularly fast and safe.

The ship was built between 1956 and 1959. The maiden voyage was on September 3, 1959. At that time it was primarily immigrants who used the ship. When emigration was no longer an issue and flying became cheaper, the shipping company stopped its scheduled service. The SS Rotterdam became a crusader.

“Captain, wake up!” This is how he was reached in his sleeping quarters. When he came to the bridge, he first put his hand on the chair. If it was warm, there was a problem. No one but the captain was allowed to sit there. Back then, traveling was an exclusive affair,

Primarily for first class passengers. Separate staircases ensured that the class difference was maintained . She was almost scrapped. When converting it into a hotel ship, it was decided to retain the unique retro look. During the heyday of the SS Rotterdam, the interior was considered ultra-modern. Many prominent guests appreciated the luxury.

We enter the large ballroom, the first class dance room. We always had well-known artists on board. In 1968 Frank Sinatra drove with us from New York to Curaçao. Percy Sledge and Pat Boone were also on the passenger list. Hand-picked, well-known designers and artists created the setting for chic social gatherings .

They have fulfilled their mission of creating a contemporary ambience. A style that has retained its charm to this day. Even though the city has changed fundamentally, the SS Rotterdam has transported the special spirit of the late 1950s and 1960s into the present. Almost a little journey back in time!

Rotterdam, the gateway to the world, then and now. * Swing music * The atmosphere is completely different up in northern Sweden, where reindeer and rabbits say goodnight to each other. A place for people looking for peace and quiet. A road through magical winter landscapes. It leads to Jokkmokk.

It is the land of the Sami. They meet every year in February in Jokkmokk, Lapland. It’s been like this for centuries. A unique opportunity to get to know the Sami culture, for example the work of the Sami with their reindeer. On the frozen lake, the animals are the heroes that day.

And the drivers are sometimes idiots. About an hour’s drive from Jokkmokk you reach a hotel in the middle of the forest. It’s basically competing with the birds. Because the rooms are hidden high up in the trees. A four meter high mirror cube. A room like a bird’s nest.

And there are five more tree rooms. Kent Lindvall and his wife Britta had the idea for a slightly different hotel. At first it was just a crazy idea. After all, we have enough trees. And we wanted to do something with them. All treehouses come from different architects.

Everyone was allowed to choose the trees for their house. The construction has to grow with you. The tree grows in width, not in height. He’s already 100 years old. It gets one to two millimeters wider every year. And we’ll just adjust the screws here. This tree house has windows on all sides.

The architects also designed the entire facility. Here: minimalist. Every house has a modern torlette. In winter, underfloor heating provides warmth. The rooms are between 15 and 25 square meters in size, suitable for two to four guests. And it always goes up. This electrically operated ladder leads into the bird’s nest.

It’s a long bridge here. You can reach the mirror cube via a suspension bridge. Five tons, attached to just one tree! The jaw holds that. Kent Lindvall has his own theory about this. If you cut down a tree in the forest, the chemistry of the forest changes.

As if the other trees sense this and protect themselves, like from insects. The trees are becoming stronger, more resilient. And so we did it: cut down some trees so that the rest would grow stronger. It’s slowly getting evening in Jokkmokk. The Sami are still celebrating. Costumes, language, music.

Attributes of an old northern culture. * Singing * The day ends early in wintry Lapland. The tree hotel rooms in Harads magically glow from the dark. A nest in the forest, a luxury nest! An overnight stay in the trees costs from 500 euros. But it’s certainly unforgettable.

We return to Germany, to North Rhine-Westphalia, to the former federal capital Bonn and to an alternative Kemper paradise. For some, camping is a way of life, the epitome of informality. But for some it is also the epitome of stuffiness and allotment gardening mentality.

And what if the weather doesn’t cooperate in the camper’s paradise? In the “Basecamp” in Bonn the place stays dry regardless of the weather. And the sky above the guests is always blue, at least as far as the photo wall can see. In a former warehouse there are 1,600 square meters

Of individually designed campers, caravans and sleeping cars from Deutsche Bahn. The colorful campsite bears the signature of film sculptor Marion Seul. She’s touching up a few scratches. As soon as I notice it, I do it. Everything is in use and it can happen, just like in normal life at home.

She worked on the various cars for around 14 months. Each one has become a little work of art. Since 2013, the “Basecamp” has been attracting guests to Bonn who are looking for something extraordinary. Fans of the English royal family prefer to stay in “Big Ben”, the only car with separate beds.

True to the motto: “No sex please, we’re British!”. When browsing through flea markets, Marion Seul looks for the props that give the cars that certain extra something. She particularly enjoys working on “Nautilus.” This is my darling. Yes, that is very close to my heart. I really enjoy working on it too.

Whenever I find something that fits this, I come when I’m free and do it. The fact that Marion Seul otherwise looks after feature film sets and designs sets for theater performances explains her attention to detail. She puts a lot of time into her ideas. And she especially loves some cars.

This is the Nautilus. It’s a bit like the submarine from Jules Vernes’ “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”, a bit imaginative. Of course, this also includes a lot of rust and patina and old and a bit mossy. A campsite of fantasy could be called the “base camp”. Is that your art too?

It’s my art too, yes. I was allowed to design these cars. I was wondering this morning what it would be. Can I take a look? – Very gladly. Every car is unique. Accommodation costs: between 54 and 122 euros. I took a lot of photos on my iPad this morning.

Because it is absolutely exciting here, also in Bonn, beautiful! After the government move, things became quieter in the former capital on the Rhine. Bonn looks back on 2,000 years of history and has many sights. In search of a cheap and unusual overnight accommodation, school classes and business people

Also end up in the industrial area of ​​Bonn, in the “Basecamp”. Actually, I’m on a business trip. But staying here is much nicer than in a run-of-the-mill hotel. The special thing here is the atmosphere and the people you can get to know. From backpackers to business travelers, the audience is a bit mixed.

That’s quite pleasant. From the flower power caravan to the business meeting! The day in the “base camp” starts relaxed. Despite the camping atmosphere, guests do not have to forego service. There is a breakfast buffet on the gallery. The beds are made daily. 35 employees look after the guests. One is Thomas Lenz.

There are also visitors to Bonn who just want to stay overnight in the “base camp”. come to town, he says. Some people want a very specific type of caravan. You can select it beforehand on the Internet and look at it: “Is it free? Then I want to go in there!”

Some people don’t care, they do caravan hopping for a few days and then want to try out three or four. The overnight stay in the “Drag Queen”, a production in pink, plush and tinsel, is shrill. You can’t really get more pink than that. “The craziest campsite in the world,”

Wrote one newspaper about the “base camp.” Exactly the right place for everyone who loves something extraordinary. Far away, in Chile, Patagonia awaits with wild beauty and a hotel steeped in history. A journey to the end of the world on the “Ruta del Fin del Mundo”. And that’s how it feels:

Wide, wild and lonely and of infinite beauty. This is how the first Europeans once described the Pampas. Almost 500 years have passed since then. Not much has changed. We arrive in Puerto Natales, a small, manageable coastal town. The only city far and wide. No wonder with an annual average temperature of seven degrees!

The people here live from fishing or tourism. Puerto Natales is the starting point for excursions to the Torres del Paine National Park. That means you’re prepared for vacationers. There are various hotels in Puerto Natales, but only one that you will never forget: “The Singular Patagonia” in the municipality of Puerto Bories.

We’ll get to what this old factory building is all about later. First of all, you have to understand the arrival. All new arrivals are initially greeted by this vehicle. It takes guests from the upper entrance down to the reception. No, the elevator would be wrong. That’s right: funicular.

The reason why it was installed here remains the architect’s secret. But it’s part of the hotel’s concept. The actual reception is one floor below. It is a modern-morbid mix: old, rough walls, elegantly hidden behind smooth glass surfaces. You can actually spend the night here: at the fjord “Seno de Ultima Esperanza”,

The “Bay of the Last Hope”. That’s what Captain Ladrillero called him 500 years ago. But that was only because he failed in his search for a passage to the Strait of Magellan. But for us we first go to the Torres Del Paine National Park. UNESCO declared it a biosphere reserve in 1978.

The hotel offers excursions. Our companion Sofia takes us to the sights of the mountains over the next few hours. The best known are the three towers that gave the national park its name: the Torres del Paine. “Paine” means “sky blue” in the Native American language. A unique natural wonder with mountains and glaciers

Framed by rivers, lakes and waterfalls. This is Sofia’s favorite photo motif: the Paine Cascade in front of the three almost 3000 meter high granite needles of the Torres with the roaring waters of the Rio Paine. The best place for a picnic, but with strict rules.

Lighting fires is only permitted in designated areas in the park. On the other hand, there are plenty of views and nature, without restrictions and lots of wind! * Wind noise * Suddenly it appears above our heads: the Andean Condor. He benefits from the wind. It doesn’t bother the frugal guanacos either.

They live on the dried grass of the pampas. With a bit of luck you can also meet him: the “Armadillo”, “the little armored one”, as the armadillo is called in Spanish. An omnivore that loves the dry landscape of South America. Our excursion through the national park ends here. We start our way back.

Back at the hotel. Sergio Barria used to be a wild gaucho. Today he is a gentle hotel guide. He shows us what the building is all about. It is a 100 year old factory building. Sheep were slaughtered there like on an assembly line. Mass-produced goods for England. 700 people worked here.

Here we are in the slaughterhouse. It took a worker seven minutes to skin a sheep. Meat, fat and leather were transported to London by train and ship in exchange for machinery. This was a meat factory until the 1970s. Years later it was declared a national historic monument.

Creative architects transformed the factory into a hotel. The result: an extravagant mix of museum and modern luxury hostel. A pearl of the Industrial Revolution, as Sergio likes to call it. What was once the cold storage facilities has been converted into comfortable rooms and a spacious spa with views of the fjord.

Created for a noble break in the solitude of Patagonia. * Sound of the sea * Back to Germany. The seaside resort of Warnemünde is located on the Baltic Sea in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, close to the Hanseatic city of Rostock . Stay overnight where bananas were once stored, very close to the Warnemünde shipyard.

In 67 discarded shipping containers, equipped with industrial-style furnishings. You can do that at the “Dock Inn”! The hostel with the innovative architectural idea has 64 rooms and 188 beds, from dormitories to suites. You’re now getting a little package like this. Your room cards are in there, one for each. They’re so white.

Then you hold them in front of the door. Then it turns green. Then you can go in. The Warnemünde Container Hostel attracts different people. We also have people who come in and say: “This totally reminds me of the shipyard like it used to be.”

And a lot of young people who are passionate about style and who think it’s great. Concrete, glass, metal and shipping containers stacked four stories high. For school classes with bunk beds and a youth hostel atmosphere. The boys on a school trip have a room with eight beds. But where is the bathroom?

Look: here the toilet and there the shower. Discovery tour in a living container. The cabinets look like wooden boxes. The boys will stay in 50 square meters for five days. And they think it’s great. They first told us about it and then showed photos and videos.

We were really excited and really wanted to go there. The container hostel is the first of its kind in Germany. A few young people had the idea. They looked for a suitable location and developed the concept. Construction was carried out in 2017. By the end of the year they had done it.

Final work with a view to the rough charm of the shipyard basin and S-Bahn route. Furniture and furnishings specially designed by the architects. The thing floats. It’s really hung in the fabric mat. And it works. First of all, stability was important here. This is very important in the hostel area,

That when someone gets in at the top, the person at the bottom doesn’t swing. This was achieved very well here with the solution from scaffolding construction. Rooms for individualists and those who like to experiment. We wanted to sleep in a shipping container and get a bit of that maritime flair.

It’s coolly laid out and chic. It’s something different. Two containers were welded together for the 2-person apartment. The couple thinks it’s small but casual. Guests can rent bicycles for excursions in the area right downstairs in the lobby of the Dock Inn. It won’t be boring inside either. On the contrary:

The lounges offer space and opportunities for many activities. A special highlight right next door: a climbing hall, 400 square meters, 2000 climbing holds. A real workout for fit young people! Climbing or kicking, cycling or even just chilling out. Everything is possible. I definitely want to try out the climbing hall.

And it’s super cool down here to sit around, talk and stuff. Many others think so too. The older people who live in the back of the condominiums always say, “Can I put my children here?” And: “Do you have a room to celebrate?” The mix between youth hostel, stylish industrial location

And open meeting point makes the “Dock Inn” something special. Speaking of which: we also cook. A night costs between 19 and 129 euros, depending on the comfort needs of the guests. It has this loft style, everything is open, the windows. It’s a cool facility, just a different concept,

Completely different because of the whole facility. Totally well done! You’ll never forget a night in an exceptional hotel ! COPYRIGHT SUBTITLE: hr 2021
