Foxy Hotel Fox?

1. September 2008 Accessories & Jewelry Judith

This morning, we strolled around our hotel and got a glimpse of some other hotel rooms. It´s Hotel Fox - a hotel that opened three years ago as part of the Volkswagen Fox car presentation. Announced as “the world´s most exciting and creative lifestyle hotel” Hotel Fox promises unique spartial experiences and great service. 21 international artists from the fields of graphic design, urban art and illustration turned an old hotel into a funky design house and while Miguel was involved in that project in 2005, he really wanted to see that hotel again. Regarding the prices and remembering all the commendable magazine reports about Hotel Fox my expectations were high. Maybe way too high. While the staff is really nice and friendly, the accouterments and the cleanliness of the rooms were little—uuuhhm—disappointing. It´s still fantastic to be here and to have seen that unique hotel project, but comparing “what you pay to what you get” Hotel Fox is an nice, expensive nice hostel hotel, but unfortunately not at all “the world´s most exciting and creative lifestyle hotel”.
