Would You Stay in This Crazy Rock Hotel?

Posted: 07 Jun 2011 11:49 PM PDT

Anyone who has ever attempted to travel through Europe on a budget has probably ended up staying in some fairly strange places. But nothing we've ever experienced can top this proposal for "Barcelona Rock," Poland-based UGO Architecture's entry in an international competition to design a "bohemian hostel for backpackers." While from the outside the building looks like a strange part of the natural landscape, the structure contains fifty rooms with windows, a swimming pool, spa, gym, cinema, pub, and a small climbing wall for beginners (advanced climbers are meant to scale the hostel's exterior). Let us know in the comments what you think of the concept.

I guess it’s not really good idea to take the rooms on top if you’re afraid of the heights.
