An Austin-Powers style hotel room with groovy lime-coloured exterior and bachelor pad furniture. It's located on the roof of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and was designed by artists whose mission is to make guests feel like a part of the art. The hotel accepts bookings for one night at a time only, is in Paris until December 2008, and takes bookings two months ahead, so it takes luck and persistence to get a room. Inside there's a record collection to peruse, lounge, bedroom, gold-edged towels that you're encouraged to take home, and a free minibar.
Hotel Everland, Palais de Tokyo, 13 avenue du Président Wilson, F-75116 Paris. Costs £248 on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and £330 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Closed Mondays.

The Single Room Hotel, Kommandantenstr./Neue Grünstr, 10969 Berlin, Germany. Costs €29.95 (£24) per night
