Denver hotel offers $50G stay in inflatable pop-up room

Post by *BlackFox »

For a limited time, a Denver hotel is offering a package with a one-night stay in a pop-up, inflatable room that rises 22 feet in the air, thanks to a scissor lift on top of the van on which it sits.

The cost: $50,000.
There is a weight limit. No smoking is allowed.

Architect Alex Schweder created the 5-foot-by-7-foot, see-through room atop a van for the Biennial of the Americas festival of arts, culture and ideas in Denver. It has a chemical toilet, shower, sink, inflatable bed and couch, and curtains. It is being driven to parking lots around town through Aug. 23.
"It's a very small room but a very special room," Schweder said. "You're always on the top floor."

People could better spend 1k on a 4* night in some penthouse and donate the other 49k to a charity to make other people happy... Seriously, I assume the guy calls it art as well?

It would be a cool idea to place a couch on it instead and pull up to a outdoor concert or fireworks event late and still get the best seats at the show.....hoist her up, crack open a cold one and relax..

Just about the absolute stupidest idea as far as hospitality business goes. How the fuck does an adult come up with that idea and decide to actually follow up with it?

This is dumb.

Having said that, if I were a millionaire, I'd totally do it.
