Paris museum installs one-room hotel on roof

An art installation consisting of an actual one-room hotel offering 1970s-style glamour, artistic cachet and a view of the Eiffel Tower was lifted into place on the roof of a Paris museum yesterday.



Hotel Everland, the creation of Swiss artists Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann, will remain atop the Palais de Tokyo until the end of 2008, functioning as both a museum exhibit and a room where people can stay overnight.



Guests pay 333 euros ($473) a night during the week and 444 euros at weekends, a comparable rate to other hotels in the chic 16th arrondissement, with charges used to cover running costs.
