That was a joke Art installation AFAIK a decade back.
Swiss here, no it isn’t. Here’s a (german) overview of a few “openair hotels”: https://www.stilpalast.ch/travel/specials/schlafen-unter-freiem-himmel-7144
So… you get room service? Like… how far do these workers stay from these rooms? Can they see you pee and take a dump? Where do you clean yourself? Do you get a refund if it rains? Is a simple hotel room somewhere nearby cheaper than this gourmet outdoor experience?
So many questions…
little late but I kinda feel like responding:
The beds are outside in the countryside, usually on fields that are owned by the farmers who offer the “rooms”, so they’re a bit secluded.
You’re brought there by said farmer, he shows you around a bit, shows the fridge, etc. Then he leaves again.
If you need any room service, you just call up the farmer and he comes back to bring it.
No idea about toilets, but I think you’d also have to walk back to the farm. Same if it rains. Pretty much all of those openair hotels are ran by those kinds of farmers anyway, who were used to hotel guests as they’ve been offering “sleeping in the hey” kinda things since years, so for them, it’s pretty much the same, except being a little (sometimes a lot) further away and being logistically a bit more challenging.
Am I the only one that would actually really enjoy this?
Being outside in the mountains with fresh cool air, but you actually have a proper, comfy warm bed to enjoy as well?
Sign me the fuck up.
Until it rains… or storms… or there is thunder or snails or dogs barking or whatever. Hell no “-”
Or something poops on your face.
I would have to imagine they have something in place for when it rains, thunder (without rain) would be awesome, you’re in the mountains with few neighbours so wouldn’t worry about dogs barking, and if you’re worried about snails you could put some salt down I guess.
I was on an island in sweden once, we made outdoor vacation, pretty cool. We were on a hill on that island, in a tent and there also was thunder.
And lets say… being on a mountain in thunder is not the safest thing to do
I would but only if the temperature is right. That picture looks like it drops below freezing tho.
You know, there’s this thing called “camping”, you should really look into it.
“Proper, comfy warm bed”
Without a blanket because the wind blew it away
If you get a big enough campervan you can put a nice big heavy mattress in it.
A campervan isn’t really camping. It is just a hotel room on wheels.
We need convertible camper vans
Just get one of those expandable soft top ones and add a zipper to it 🤔😂
Sure let me just bring my whole-ass double bed and mattress with me when I go camping 🤡
Nobody says you can’t 🤷🏻♂️
shit I have a pair of inflatable twin mattresses that can be joined together. open up my sleeping bag, put it down as base warmth, with a pillow and another cozy blanket… That pretty much meets the definition
Yeah thats not the same at all for me
My parents had a bed built for their minivan with ample storage and a thick layer of latex foam. They did some trips around the US using that, though ultimately it turns out they’re just not great sleepers.
Too many wind-blowable things in that “room”.
Exactly. This would only work in a dry summer.

What happens next will SHOCK you
A lightning strike?
That’s camping with all the shitty parts and a really nice cot.
Wind, rain, dust, falling shit, bugs, animals, etc. You can get a similar atmosphere by having a tent and opening the vent flaps. Or like, sleeping under a tarp to mitigate rain if you really want that outdoorsy feel. I knew a guy who slept in a hammock on nice nights but I fear the skeeters.
That’s camping with all the shitty parts and a really nice cot.
That is indeed the joke.
There are nice bug nets made specifically to fit around hammocks. You see the sky and not be eaten alive.
Some hammocks even have the bug net built in creating a nice bugfree cocoon.
Did you know that the weather in the mountains can change rapidly and without warnings?
Sorry, tarps and scaffolding is extra.
virgin “outdooor hotel” fan vs chad homelessness enjoyer
Man, you gotta be a true chad in order to enjoy homelessness
If you ever slept outside, you know how good it can be. Fresh air, cold winds. Only and only if nothing goes wrong.
*If and only if
There was this bamboo treehouse that my wife and I slept in on a vacation. It was really nice and relaxing. We plan to go back soon.
Fresh air, cold winds, and hypothermia.
Good luck in the rain!
Have we seriously forgotten how shelter works?
Do you like pina coladas?
Not even rain.
If you sleep outside you’ll wake up wet and dewy and gross.
Pfft, shelter? That’s for poor people!
houses? thats for homeless pe-
wait, something feels wrong
Do you check out when you get there and check in when you leave?
I thought it was the onion, but I searched and found it… $340 a night.
Had to double check the date to make sure I wasn’t in a 2 month long coma and that it wasn’t April fools.
Anything “glamping” or related is full of unhinged rates for stuff. Don’t ask me why.
Wild predators are one thing but what about bats with rabies? You wouldn’t even know you got bit until it’s too late.
I’d be more worried about the weather.
Rabies has basically been eliminated in Switzerland so that won’t be an issue.
Hope the weather forecasts around there are very accurate.
Someone has a fundamental misunderstanding about what a room is…
Indeed
