For 159 nights, the Hotel Everland welcomes guests. The Swiss artist couple Lang/Baumann (Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann) were responsible for the construction of the exclusive art hotel.
Hotel Everland is a mobile hotel with only one room that was created on the occasion of Expo.02 for the Arteplage Yverdon-les-Bains. It embodies the subjective dream of a hotel and all the details are important components of the concept: the architecture, the invitation to steal the gold-embroidered bath towels, the exclusive booking system (the room could only be booked for one night), the richly stocked minibar. Breakfast was delivered to the room and there was a personally compiled record collection. All Hotel Everland guests became part of the artwork.
