At Propeller Island City Lodge, every room is decorated by artists in a different theme. That concept isn't new, but Germany's Propeller Island takes the idea to the extreme.
The coffin room features two coffins, "In both coffins you can even slumber beneath closed lids! Exclusively connoisseur room for all those “Nosferatus†who cannot wait for that which awaits us all. Whosoever has second thoughts can creep to the bedplace below, safe within the labyrinth. Not only a unique experience for Gothic die-hards:an exquisite location on top of that!"
Or, ditch the coffin idea for a relaxing night in a cage, "Dual cages, situated in the centre of this spacious menagerie, rest on stilts measuring 1.5 meters tall and await applause from the neighbouring guest(s)."
