Proppeller Island City Lodge in Berlin, Germany is a very unique hotel and a Art Designers dream.All rooms and objects were created by the German artist Lars Stroschen. It is like "living in a work of art". There are 30+ rooms and each one unique and individual as the next.
All furnishings and objects are custom-made or hand-built which means none can be found anywhere else in the world. It's almost like living in a museum with guest accomodations. The rooms are designed and constructed without compromise, varying from the tame to the extreme, and provides the opportunity to more or less alter your perspective of reality - according to your taste and sense of adventure.
There is some price to be paid for all this creativity and uniqueness. Some of the materials are alot more 'delicate' because of this art of a hotel. The plexiglass is easily scratched, as are the dark and intense wall colours when you slide your bags along them - just to name a few. Hence, great care in the movement throughout the hotel to protect and preserve it's creativeness is always greatly appreciated. It also has its own ambience and music that can be listened to throughout the rooms.
Let your imagination wild... and there just might be a room for that!
The "Flying Bed" Room
A room with a slanted floor and a double bed which seems to levitate off the ground. The wardrobe comes out of the wall, but table and chair have got to stay straight! In the rustic bathroom of natural stone you will find eggplant-coloured slate.

The "Therapy" Room
This entirely white room can be darkened and illuminated at your desire with a variety of artifical lamps. A mirror located above the bed allows you to see yourself 'in another light' - spectrally therapeutic and very spectacular! Windows and wasbasin are hidden behind soft white plush.
