The strangest hotel in the world: it is impossible to stay there

There is the 20m high building and the huge sign that reads: Hotel. However it is a very particular hotel, where it is impossible to stay.

It is located near a highway on the outskirts of Melbournein the state of Victoria. in Australia. It’s the EastLink Hotel but unlike others, this one tourists are not allowedOr someone really.

Why the EastLink Hotel It’s not what it seems.

Designed by local artist Callum Morton, the (un)hotel opened in 2007 and has been ever since it confused everyone.

It’s not as big as a skyscraper – it’s 20 meters high, 12 meters wide and 5 meters thick – but passing it at high speed for the first time is really hard to tell, so it’s no wonder that people look it up on the internet and call to book a room.

To make it even more confusing, some windows are lit up at night, making it look like some rooms are occupied.

but there are no roomsand the building itself is not accessible, because the whole is a sculpture designed solely for ornamental purposes.

“Motorists will see it from the car like a real hotel and perhaps over time as an oddly scaled prop that has escaped from a theme park or film set,” artist Morton described the concept of this project.

Now, nearly two decades later, his creation still plays with the mind of people as they cross the motorway, also known as the EastLink, in the Melbourne suburb of Dandenong.

At first, the large rectangular building with a big red “HOTEL” sign on top looks quite normal, but then it becomes apparent that It’s not as impressive as it should be and that it’s in the middle of a barren field, and that’s when things start to get messy.

But this is all by design.

“I think it’s interesting how you put something in a space that’s a little seductive or a little weird, like perhaps it changes the way people think about art or practice,” Callum Morton said of his unique artwork.

Also, Hotel EastLink also has its own website (https://www.eastlinkhotel.com.au/), while, of course, it is not possible to book a room, it only offers more information about it.
