Do not pass the mini-bar, do not collect your laundry

Cute story of the week - a developer in a small town in Switzerland has converted the local 135 year old jail into a boutique hotel but has kept the jail theme. The Jailhotel Löwengraben was a prison right up until the end of 1998. Would not call this luxury by the photos but looks comfortable - in a quirky (maybe even kinky) kind of way.

Credit where credit is due - came across this hotel while looking at the latest Zuji AU newsletter.

Switzerland does a good line in outlandish hotel concepts.They've also got the Null Stern nuclear bunker hotel:
