Blow Up Hall 5050 – The Reception-Less Hotel In Poznan

Oct. 30, 2012

Poznan Poland East Europe

Blow Up Hall 50/50 is a complex that includes a restaurant, art gallery, and hotel. It commissioned its hallmark installation to be designed by crucial artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, one of the world's top digital artists.

He is a BAFTA prize winner, and his work has appeared in New York and the Tate Modern London.

There is no reception or door numbers. Here, guests book, locate, and open their rooms with iPhones that use digital recognition technology to unlock doors.

Luckily the massages on offer are still done by trained humans in an old-fashioned way. Robot design hasn’t gone to the stage where they can give a good massage, as their hands are too cold.

You can also relax in the large steam room. The complex also includes boutique shopping in a nearby converted brewery. The restaurant is top-class, and the bar is resplendent in purple and geometric finery.

Domaine du Château des Pères - A Gorilla, a Michelin Star, and a Hotel in a Tree

There's a giant gorilla watching over the grounds. A wolf, frozen mid-sprint, tears through the woodland. And somewhere above the kitchen garden, suspended nearly 28 meters (92 feet) off the ground in a pod that looks like it belongs in a 1970s science fiction paperback, someone is waking up to …
