Camping in an Old Vacuum Factory Building

OK, so this isn’t exactly camping. After all, there are “luxurious bathrooms” on the premises, according to Treehugger. But this isn’t like sleeping at the Days Inn, either. Your “room” will be a delightfully revamped vintage camper or a cabin. Your “great outdoors” will be the inside of an old vacuum-cleaner factory.

Berlin’s Hotel Huttenpalast opened in June. Its founders wanted the boutique hotel to be the kind of place where guests could mingle — kind of like you would at a campsite. And they wanted to keep the architecture of the building as-is — no breaking up this factory into boxy hotel rooms. So, they came up with the idea to build in little cabins and set up kitschy campers within the warehouse walls.

For a camper or a cabin, you’ll pay about $100 a night, according to the Guardian, which is pretty affordable. And if you’d prefer a private room rather than a camper, there are six of those on the property, as well. The hotel is located in the trendy Neukolln district of Berlin. Check out a couple of the rooms:
