Whether You Want to Sleep in an Igloo or in Space, There Is a Room for Every Taste

WHAT IT IS?

The Don Q Inn in Dodgeville is situated in rolling glaciated hills of southwestern Wisconsin, USA, and promises to accommodate your every taste. Whether you want to sleep in a space capsule, an igloo, or a dungeon, this hotel has it all.

This hotel has 25 themed rooms ranging from prehistoric caves to space crafts. The Don Q Inn has been satisfying visitors of every taste since 1975. The Hotel was born from Don Quinn, a WWII pilot who refused to accept the ordinary. In 1965, he purchased 250 acres of farmland and constructed his own airstrip, allowing him to park his cargo plane at home, which to this day remains in front of the hotel. Despite this, Don Quinn did not stop there; subsequently, in 1973, he constructed a 32-unit motel on the piece of land to provide visitors a fully entertaining and satisfying experience. The hotel was constructed using salvaged materials from across the Midwest – entrance doors from Dodgeville’s Methodist Church, oak pillars from a Peoria church, ceiling rafters from an Iowa army hospital. Still to this day, the hotel keeps preserving Don Quinn eccentric legacy.

WHY IT´S COOL?

  • Love for variety: Globalization has brought an increased taste for options: The more the merrier.  This is exactly what this hotel brings – a room for every taste.
  •  Uniquely themed hotel: This hotel does not choose a theme; it brings all of them to the table. From fantasy to original theme suite. Every room is a portal that transports you to a different location.
  • Highly memorable – the kind of stay that sticks with you and inevitably gets shared. You will be wowed as soon as you step in the hotel.
  • Each room surprises, delights, and fuels curiosity — the kind of setting that thrills both your imagination and your camera roll.

WHY IT HAS FUTURE GROWTH POTENTIAL?

The Don Q Inn taps into the booming experience economy, providing a stay that is Instagrammable and immersive. This hotel is especially appealing to younger generations who value the uniqueness of the experience.

It is an extremely versatile concept; it can satisfy couples, families, and friend groups who are looking for special gateways. Moreover, it could expand its scope by partnering with pop culture brands and reinvent itself for modern and Gen-Z travelers while at the same time staying loyal to its historical and eccentric roots.

The Don Q Inn surprises, delights, and grows one themed room at a time.

    The seed of endless variety works well here: every room is a stage set that fuels the experience economy. The eccentric legacy of Don Quinn anchors it as more than just kitsch — it becomes a living story where nostalgia and creativity merge into a truly immersive stay.

    Not a themed hotel, but a hotel with themes to personalize. Nice and surprising. A bit more deeper into the magnet terms would have been appreciated. But this is okay and well-hunted. Carl

    This hotel concept is such a playful twist on hospitality instead of picking one signature style, it lets guests choose their own adventure. It’s like staying inside someone’s imagination. I’d love to try the “space capsule” room just to see how immersive they get!

    I think this is such a fun idea, being able to choose something completely different, whether it’s an igloo or a space room, makes travel feel exciting and personal. It’s cool how places like this turn a simple stay into something you’ll remember long after the trip!

To be be honest, the whole techno scene is buzzing around this collab between Meta and Rayban. In that sense it is not a seed anymore. But, and that's where you are focusing on, it has huge complication for our future businesses. And you re very strong in creating magnet terms. good to have you in class. wish you all the best.
