Stay In The World’s Smallest Hotels

Posted November 5, 2009 by Joyce Wan

02.06.09_DasParkHotel_01 The next time you’re searching for a hotel, why not choose something out of the ordinary? Big chains such as the Hilton or Best Western may be familiar, comfortable choices, but why not go for something truly memorable (and perhaps slightly uncomfortable). A stay in one of the world’s smallest hotel rooms will surely make your trip unforgettable!

Hotel Kirkenes, Kirkenes, Norway
Set on the shores of the harsh Barents Sea in northern Norway, the only clue that this plain, rectangular box is a hotel is the ‘H’ stencilled on the wall. Built by Finnish architect Sam Rintala, the Hotel Kirkenes’ 27 square metres includes two bedrooms, and a stove for heating, but no electricity or running water. Definitely one for rugged outdoorsmen (and women).

World’s Smallest Hotel, Copenhagen, Denmark

This little hotel in the middle of Copenhagen offers guests two rooms, and a fantastic over the waterfront. The rooms, while fairly tiny, are airy and minimally decorated, which helps increase the sense of space. There’s no need to rough it in this little hotel, as breakfast is provided, and its central location allows guests to be in the thick of the action.

Das Park Hotel, Ottensheim, Austria
This is probably one of the most unique little hotels you’ll ever stay in – three large, repurposed cement drainpipes make up the ‘rooms’ of the hotel. There’s not much else besides  a double bed, storage and a lamp – although the top of the pipes do boast a ‘skylight’ should you miss having a window. The toilets and showers are located further away in the surrounding public space, so it’s not all bad. Just think of it like camping in a very sturdy tent.

The One Hotel, Siem Reap, Cambodia

Just because a hotel is tiny doesn’t mean it can’t be comfortable. The One Hotel, in the bustling centre of Siam Reap, is everything a luxury hotel should be, except that it has only one suite, so you have the whole place to yourself. The staff is there to cater to your every whim, and spa treatments can be taken anywhere you want. Feel like a midnight snack? The chef will create whatever you feel like eating.  In short, you’ll be treated like a king – and there’ll be no other guests to compete for attention.
