“The Hotel That Turns Dreams Into Art”
WHAT IT IS?
Propeller Island City Lodge in Berlin is not a typical boutique hotel — it’s an immersive art experience created by German artist Lars Storschen. Every room is a one-of-a-kind installation: a bed floating in the air, furniture hanging from the ceiling, or a cell-like space with secret escape doors. Instead of displaying art on the walls, the entire special location is the artwork. Guests don’t just check in; they step into a living gallery where sleeping becomes part of the exhibition.
WHY IT´S COOL?
- Here lies the real seed: at Propeller Island, you don’t just admire art — you live inside it. Each night is a new touch point with creativity, challenging your comfort, your senses, and your idea of what a hotel should be. It creates a genuine wow effect: instead of standard rooms, every stay is an unpredictable story. This is a unique lifestyle concept for a niche group of travellers — art lovers, design enthusiasts, and experience seekers who reject bland chain hotels and crave something extraordinary.
WHY IT HAS FUTURE GROWTH POTENTIAL?
Propeller Island proves that a hotel can be more than hospitality — it can be a stage for immersive experiences where boundaries between sleep and art disappear. In the era of the experience economy, travellers are looking for stories, not just souvenirs. This concept taps directly into that demand: it turns overnight stays into unforgettable performances of creativity and disruption. Future hotels can follow this path — building not only for comfort, but for bold design, surprise, and unforgettable storytelling. In short, Propeller Island shows how art-driven hospitality can expand into a powerful future niche within global tourism.
