Take Your Love of Wine to a New Level at Recycled Cask Hotel

It’s like a oenophile’s wet dream: what could be better than capping off a day of drinking wine in Europe with sleeping in a recycled wine cask? The Hotel de Vrouwe van Stavoren in the Netherlands features four rooms made from gigantic 14,500 liter repurposed wine casks that are cute, quirky and surprisingly roomy.

From Green Upgrader:

The rooms offer two single beds as well as an attached sitting room and bathroom.  These rooms have been pretty popular with tourists in the sleepy village of Stavoren.  If you get tired of the in-room television and radio, you can rent a bicycle and travel along one of the many popular bike paths to see the old growth forests and beach.  There is even a famous statue of “Lady van Stavoren” to keep an eye on the harbour as well as an eccentric local story to go along with it.

How fun! While these rooms aren’t going to win any awards for luxuriousness any time soon, they’re a great example of how materials can be reused creatively. If you’re headed to the Netherlands sometime soon, you can snag one of these rooms for between $40 and $150 USD per night, depending on the season and how long you stay.
