Less Is More at Swiss Fallout Shelter Turned 'Zero-Star Hotel'

While Dubai’s sparkling hotels compete in the Ridiculous Amenities department (butler brigades, extensive “pillow menus,” bespoke fragrance-infused bath oils), two minimalist-minded Swiss artists have opened a zero-star hotel—called, you guessed it, Zero-Star Hotel—in an abandoned fallout shelter. Commissioned by the Alpine town of Sevelen (population: 5,000), twin brothers Patrik and Frank Riklin have turned a Cold War-era concrete civil defense bunker into a 54-bed hotel (pictured in the rather creepy photo above) that will officially open for business in January.
