Here’s what I think of the Element Hotel after staying there in New York City for a few nights…  

Pay for your hotel stay with art at the Clarion Hotel in Stockholm! Or how about setting up a complete talent bank to swap skills for stays…

The Waldorf-Astoria hotel in NYC has bees on its roof! I wonder if we can do the same in Barcelona… save the bees and at the same time have fresh honey for our guests?!  

What if all the nice things you see in a hotel are for sale? Already can you buy stuff from some hotels & restaurants at Discover&Deliver… check it out!  

The Circus Hotel proves that stars are not important, but an ethical approach is and even makes you #1 on Tripadvisor!  

Here’s a pedal-powered TV from a hotel room at Cottage Lodge in the UK! I guess that also eliminates the gym…  

At Hotel droog* new things were added to a shabby one-star hotel without changing anything! It was about “integration of the new and the existing, the special and the common, the ugly and the beautiful, perfection and imperfection, illusion and reality”. I […]

A great way to reduce waste at the hotel breakfast table without sacrificing comfort: refillable glass containers as seen at Casa Camper in Berlin!  

Book a room and a local when in Berlin! A great set-up to connect guests with locals, and the room is made from reclaimed materials ;) Check out Plus One for more info.  

Pretty cool to visualise energy and water consumption plus CO2 emissions at all time in order to reduce them! Rulergy for Hotels… has anyone tried it?

Very cool infographic! “In the US, hotels create 1.9 billion lbs of waste each year, enough to fill 37 million suitcases” To see all the facts, visit the Do not disturb campaign!  

It seems our hotel idea is the new challenge, great!! We are definitely up for making the prefect social hotel come true! (Thanks Steve W. for the tip!)
