Rolling Hotel Norway

As you travel there, you can enjoy the unique views from your comfortable accommodation. And when you arrive, you can step out of your room directly into the great outdoors.

As the seasons and weather change, the hotel can move up and down the tracks to new and unusual locations.

Rolling Hotel in the nature

You will not miss dark, windowless hotel corridors here. A public bath and concert hall are available to you a few units down the track.

Sadly, this hotel only exists as a prize-winning design proposal. I think you will join me in wishing Jagnefält Milton Architecture all the luck in the world to make their dreams into a reality.
