Unless a person decides to become a hardcore groupie, the chances of sleeping with a rockstar are slim to none; that is, until The Thief Hotel came along. Located in Oslo, Norway, The Thief Hotel gives guests the rare opportunity of sleeping with a tasty collection of European celebrities including A-ha’s Magne Furuholmen, Coldplay’s Guy Berryman, Mew singer Jonas Bjerre and producer Martin Terefe--all of whom form the supergroup Apparatjik.
Of course, there is a pretty big catch. The Thief Hotel simply projects their likeness onto the pillow case besides the sleeping guest. Although that might prove a disappointment to some, other's will love the gimmick. What makes the experience even better is that each celebrity has decorated a room themselves.
