That's camping with all the shitty parts and a really nice cot.
Wind, rain, dust, falling shit, bugs, animals, etc. You can get a similar atmosphere by having a tent and opening the vent flaps. Or like, sleeping under a tarp to mitigate rain if you really want that outdoorsy feel. I knew a guy who slept in a hammock on nice nights but I fear the skeeters.
This would only be cool if you're somehow guaranteed zero people/predators or cameras in a large enough radius that you won't ever be seen or attacked by an animal. Fucking under the stars on a real bed sounds pretty cool. But there is a building in the background. I would be too paranoid that someone is watching with a telescope
To make it even crazier, you could have a roof that is transparent and you could open. Tada you get as much outdoor as you want, without being soaked wet by the thunderstorm.
I would trust everything you read on Google. While Switzerland probably does have some wolves and bears realistically you're never going to encounter one.
So... you get room service? Like... how far do these workers stay from these rooms? Can they see you pee and take a dump? Where do you clean yourself? Do you get a refund if it rains? Is a simple hotel room somewhere nearby cheaper than this gourmet outdoor experience?
The beds are outside in the countryside, usually on fields that are owned by the farmers who offer the "rooms", so they're a bit secluded.
You're brought there by said farmer, he shows you around a bit, shows the fridge, etc. Then he leaves again.
If you need any room service, you just call up the farmer and he comes back to bring it.
No idea about toilets, but I think you'd also have to walk back to the farm. Same if it rains. Pretty much all of those openair hotels are ran by those kinds of farmers anyway, who were used to hotel guests as they've been offering "sleeping in the hey" kinda things since years, so for them, it's pretty much the same, except being a little (sometimes a lot) further away and being logistically a bit more challenging.
I would have to imagine they have something in place for when it rains, thunder (without rain) would be awesome, you're in the mountains with few neighbours so wouldn't worry about dogs barking, and if you're worried about snails you could put some salt down I guess.
shit I have a pair of inflatable twin mattresses that can be joined together. open up my sleeping bag, put it down as base warmth, with a pillow and another cozy blanket... That pretty much meets the definition
My parents had a bed built for their minivan with ample storage and a thick layer of latex foam. They did some trips around the US using that, though ultimately it turns out they're just not great sleepers.
virgin "outdooor hotel" fan vs chad homelessness enjoyer
Man, you gotta be a true chad in order to enjoy homelessness
Headline reads: Millennials ruining the wall industry
What happens next will SHOCK you
A lightning strike?
Avocado walls.
Good luck in the rain!
Have we seriously forgotten how shelter works?
Pfft, shelter? That's for poor people!
houses? thats for homeless pe-
wait, something feels wrong
Not even rain.
If you sleep outside you'll wake up wet and dewy and gross.
Do you like pina coladas?

That is indeed the joke.
There are nice bug nets made specifically to fit around hammocks. You see the sky and not be eaten alive.
Some hammocks even have the bug net built in creating a nice bugfree cocoon.
Did you know that the weather in the mountains can change rapidly and without warnings?
Sorry, tarps and scaffolding is extra.

Forget zero people/predators, I need a guarantee for zero mosquitoes and flies
I'd just start beating off while staring straight at it with an expressionless face.
You could have walls but no roof
To make it even crazier, you could have a roof that is transparent and you could open. Tada you get as much outdoor as you want, without being soaked wet by the thunderstorm.
A greenhouse? Sounds fun in summer.
just open it then.
Yes all those natural predators in Switzerland you need to watch out for.
According to Google they have wolves and bears. What more do you want?
I would trust everything you read on Google. While Switzerland probably does have some wolves and bears realistically you're never going to encounter one.
That was a joke Art installation AFAIK a decade back.
Swiss here, no it isn't. Here's a (german) overview of a few "openair hotels": https://www.stilpalast.ch/travel/specials/schlafen-unter-freiem-himmel-7144

So many questions....
little late but I kinda feel like responding:

Wild animals: It's free
real estatedinner.Hope the weather forecasts around there are very accurate.
There's a solid foundation for this idea but I still don't see it putting a roof over my head to be honest.
Too many wind-blowable things in that "room".
Exactly. This would only work in a dry summer.
This hotel Switzerland
famous you sleep located
rooms with mountains
no walls,
also: is for which let in the in
Advanced level “don’t dead, open inside”
Sleeping outdoor without shelter > camping > glamping > glamping outdoor without shelter
Whew, we've come quite far.
Am I the only one that would actually really enjoy this?
Being outside in the mountains with fresh cool air, but you actually have a proper, comfy warm bed to enjoy as well?
Sign me the fuck up.
Until it rains... or storms... or there is thunder or snails or dogs barking or whatever. Hell no "-"
Or something poops on your face.
I would have to imagine they have something in place for when it rains, thunder (without rain) would be awesome, you're in the mountains with few neighbours so wouldn't worry about dogs barking, and if you're worried about snails you could put some salt down I guess.
I was on an island in sweden once, we made outdoor vacation, pretty cool. We were on a hill on that island, in a tent and there also was thunder.
And lets say... being on a mountain in thunder is not the safest thing to do
You know, there's this thing called "camping", you should really look into it.
"Proper, comfy warm bed"
Without a blanket because the wind blew it away
If you get a big enough campervan you can put a nice big heavy mattress in it.
A campervan isn't really camping. It is just a hotel room on wheels.
We need convertible camper vans
Just get one of those expandable soft top ones and add a zipper to it 🤔😂
Or maybe convert a mobile stage trailer into a caravan: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mobile+stage+trailer&t=fpas&iax=images&ia=images
Sure let me just bring my whole-ass double bed and mattress with me when I go camping 🤡
shit I have a pair of inflatable twin mattresses that can be joined together. open up my sleeping bag, put it down as base warmth, with a pillow and another cozy blanket... That pretty much meets the definition
Yeah thats not the same at all for me
Nobody says you can't 🤷🏻♂️

I would but only if the temperature is right. That picture looks like it drops below freezing tho.
If you ever slept outside, you know how good it can be. Fresh air, cold winds. Only and only if nothing goes wrong.
Fresh air, cold winds, and hypothermia.
*If and only if
There was this bamboo treehouse that my wife and I slept in on a vacation. It was really nice and relaxing. We plan to go back soon.
Someone has a fundamental misunderstanding about what a room is...
Indeed
Anything "glamping" or related is full of unhinged rates for stuff. Don't ask me why.
That doesn't seem unworkable. Just add a few walls and a roof and it would be a nice place to stay.
Done that for free
Wild predators are one thing but what about bats with rabies? You wouldn't even know you got bit until it's too late.
I'd be more worried about the weather.
Rabies has basically been eliminated in Switzerland so that won't be an issue.
You wouldn’t even get the bed for a million pounds in central London.
