HOTELS > German Symbologys/Not Exactly Free; Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin

At the Propeller Island City Lodge in Berlin, each room has been created from the strange imagination of artist and hotelier Lars Stroschen. The Symbol Room is plastered entirely in square wooden plates stamped with 300 different symbols.

Room 26 at the Propeller Island City Lodge is called "Freedom." A "friendly prison cell," in the words of its artist, Lars Stroschen, it rents for 80 euros a night.
