If you really want to be cut off from the rest of the world, the Utter Hotel (Otter Hotel ) is the place to “submerge” yourself in solitude or a romantic getaway. Above water level, the hotel appears to be a floating square small red house. But once inside the Utter Hotel you descend 6 meters to an underwater bedroom, toilet and kitchenette.
The Weird and Wonderful Utter Hotel Sweden
The Utter Hotel Sweden is the art/installation project of Swedish artist Mikael Genberg. The “hotel” room – of which there is one – is 3 meters square, and holds 2 twin beds. You have yourself your own traditional Swedish cottage, in miniature, on your own private island. It is not 5 *, and not for the claustrophobic, but a good place to take someone for a one on one conversation, and you get to sleep in this aquarium-like room, with windows onto the fish-filled lake. You can also sunbathe on the deck, swim, and even visit an uninhabited island close by. The electricity is provided by solar panels on the roof.
