The Null Stern Hotelis basically naught but a seam . No walls . No ceiling . Not much floor to speak of . More than a minimalist hotel , it ’s a slice of conceptual art where you could actually go and rest your aweary head .
The first installation open this month in Safiental , Grisons in Switzerland . The layer sit on a mountainside 6,463 feet above sea level and include breakfast - in - bed serve by a stoop - tie butler . Though it ’s not all creature comforts .

For the Riklins , it ’s a twist of theirfirst Null Stern Hotelin 2008 , which was just this exact seam set - up in a nuclear bunker . They billed it as " the first zero mavin hotel in the world , " thus the name of the hotel which interpret from German as Zero Star Hotel . While that succeeded as an piquant piece of art , it lacked basically all of the solicitation seen here .
" Even though this version is radically different from the first one in the atomic bunker , " say Charbonnier , " the essence and the flavor of the concept remains the same : to put the guest at the center of the experience and to focus on the intangible by reducing everything else to the minimum . "
At the raw Null Stern Hotel , the bed is " possess " by local resident , who , accord to the artist , " welcome guests while bringing an advanced spirit to the cordial reception sector . " As an artistic project , it plays with conceptions of resource management and land possession , using the tag " Zero Real Estate . " As a hotel , there are n’t many comparisons to be made anywhere in the world . Though for this kind of experience and an incredible view , guests will pay a steep cost . It ’s presently slated to be 250 Swiss Francs per night , roughly $ 253 U.S. dollar , which , though expensive , is n’t all that defective regard what guests are get .
