Swiss designer invents portable, roofless hotel room

[Initech]

Hotels can be a hassle. You have to read reviews, check booking sites, arrange transportation, and sometimes deal with noisy neighbors. If you got a Hotello instead, you could just pop open your hotel room wherever you felt like it and settle in for some quality work or nap time.

Hotello is a concept portable hotel room and working space created by architect Antonio Scarponi and artist Robert de Luca for Swiss design group Das Konzept. The whole thing packs down into a red trunk with wheels on the bottom, so you could conceivably carry it with you, though it would have to go into checked baggage on a plane, and you'd probably have to cough up a lot of extra luggage fees.

Hotello has a metal structure to hold up sound-absorbent curtains. Inside, there's a bed, table, stool, and place to hang your clothes. A lamp on a poseable arm lights up the space. If there's a flaw in the plan, it's the lack of bathroom facilities. Also, there's no roof, so you'd be open to the whims of the elements.

If he invented one with a roof , imagine how many of these things would be parked outside of bars.
