Need a Room? Why Not Try the Drain Pipe?

Forget luxury tents and designer pods. The newest trend in alternative hotel accommodation is a combination of the two - a compact, minimally decorated space set in the great outdoors.
Take the “sleep pipe”. In a park next to the Danube River in Ottensheim, Austria, an art school graduate named Andreas Strauss has created a cozy accommodation just large enough for a double bed, a storage shelf and a lamp. Open from May through October, each of the three existing sleep pipes has a window, electricity and is near public toilets, showers and a cafe. Visitors book online at www.dasparkhotel.net and are given a code that opens the door. Guests are asked to pay what they can.
