Do you dream of sleeping in a hotel without walls, ceilings or doors to ensure your protection and privacy? This “zero star” hotel concept is already a resounding success in German-speaking Switzerland. So much so that its creators decided to push the concept a little further.
Originally, two artists: the Riklin brothers. With the concept of Null Stern – The only star is you », these twins want to make their guests think about the problems of the world. And encourage them to do things differently.
The Riklin brothers’ first three installations were set up in a vineyard and on a picturesque hill, in collaboration with hotelier Daniel Charbonnier. But to mark the spirits a little more, they decided, this time, to place their bedroom in the open air (a bed and two bedside tables arranged on a platform) in a place ” anti-idyllic »: on the side of a road, next to a service station in the village of Saillon, in the canton of Valais in southern Switzerland.
“Now is not the time to sleep!”
The important thing here, one of the brothers told the Reuters news agency, is not sleep, ” it is to reflect on the current world situation. “And to add:” Staying here is a statement about the need for urgent changes in society “. If those who stay in this hotel room unlike any other may find it hard to sleep a wink, so much the better: “ This is no time to sleep, we must react », insists Patrick Riklin.
