Hüttenpalast
Want a great concept for a new hotel? Just convert an old, unused vacuum factory space into a budget boutique hotel. And even better, use refurbished mobile campers for rooms. Berlin’s new and attractive Hüttenpalast (that’s German for “hut palace”) has done just that. It is in the beautiful old workers’ quarter of Neukölln: allowing guests to experience the cozy camping feeling, without the bugs and in the middle of a vibrant city. But it’s not exactly ‘roughing it’ in the solitary sense. The caravans are beautifully remodeled. The bathrooms are “luxurious”. And guests can socialize with each other without the rowdiness usually associated with cheap hostels. (Pics)
