Space is at a premium. Day by day, homes, apartments and even furniture are shrinking. Space is shrinking at such a fast pace that people are actually looking to set up base on other planets too.
Though shrinking furniture and apartments can pull it off with a "cute, cozy and efficient" label, a hotel or resort always charms with size. But looks like, that is changing as well. The world's smallest hotel will have just one room, one bathroom and will be located atop a small café when it opens in June, according to News.com.au.
The Hotel Central in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a 12 meter square room, which once served as home to a shoe repairer who worked in the café below. It remained vacant until 2012, when the owner of the 'room', Leif Thingtved took over the place. Thingtved said to News.com.au that the room will have a flat screen, a large royal Eden bed and a mini-bar. Apparently, a great deal of attention has been paid to the minutest details of the room such as the kind of lamps and pictures too.
"It's a room you won't want to leave," Thingtved said in an interview with the publication.
He also said that the hotel room was 'something like stepping back in time'. When guests arrive, they will be served fruits and wine and the room will always have fresh flowers.
Well! This hotel is going to give some tough competition to the large five-star hotels around the world.
But how many people will the room accommodate? Won't it be a little bit of a squeeze? What about the tariff rates of the room? Not much is known about the place as the hotel is still to be inaugurated.
This might be the first of its kind, being the smallest hotel in the world, but there are hotels that have rooms the size of matchboxes. According to the Huffington Post, the world's most famous tiny rooms are the cubbies offered by the Capsule Hotels in Japan.
