The V8 Car Hotels

The V8 Hotel, just in case you were wondering, has nothing to do with the vegetable juice: we’re talking about beefy, eight-cylinder engines. This is a hotel designed for all the car fanatics in Germany, as well as the world at large. If you fall into this category, perhaps you’ve had a car you love so much that you’ve been tempted to sleep in it. Well, here at the V8 Hotel in Stuttgart, Germany, you get to do just that, but with much more comfort than you’ll find in most performance vehicles.

Altogether, the hotel has 34 car-themed rooms; but some of them are more elaborately decorated than others. The basic rooms are nothing to complain about though. In fact, if you prefer the Bauhaus aesthetic, they’re perfect for you. These spacious white rooms are simply, but tastefully furnished, which highlights a historic car-related photo that covers an entire wall.

If you want more than just a photo of cars, then you should reserve one of the ten fully decked-out rooms. As we hinted at earlier, the beds in some of these rooms are made out of real cars. Each of these rooms is thoroughly decorated according to an automotive theme, such as the drive-in cinema, route 66, the car wash, and the race track. The drive-in room (pictured at top), for example, features a long red Cadillac bed and a mural that depicts other cars lined up for the film, as well as a night sky overhead. Over at the Route 66 room, the bed is set under a canopy tent, while the walls and ceiling portray a desert scene. And of course all the mechanics out there will want to check into the auto shop room where they’ll sleep comfortably among many tools and car parts.
