Located
in Stuttgart, Germany - a German international hub for car dealers -
the V8 Hotel is a paradise for car enthusiasts. The hotel features 10
different themed rooms dedicated to themes related to the automobile
world – from car wash and tuning to drive-in cinema and racing. All
rooms are equipped with unique props and memorabilia and are furnished
with genuine car parts. For instance, the drive-in theatre themed room
comes with a starry ceiling, studio lamps and a big-screen TV. Often
the nose of a vintage car will be grafted into footboard of the bed
ensuring a surreal experience for the visitors.
The
V8 Hotel is housed on a building that once served as the terminal for
the Boblingen Airport, opened in 1915. Boblingen was used as docking
station for flights of the Graf Zeppelin in the late 1920s, and it was
home to a squadron of ME-109 fighter aircraft during the Second World
War. Being near to the industrial hub of Stuttgart meant that Boblingen
Airport was an obvious target for Allied bombers and it was completely
shattered by the end of the war.
The
decision to rebuild Boblingen as a hotel was not made until recently.
This remarkable hotel opened in 2009 after breakneck renovations and
rebuilding work. The V8 Hotel occupies only half of the terminal
building, the other half is shared by the Meilenwerk, an auto museum
that offers car enthusiast a rare look at a fascinating collection of
classic, vintage and collector cars, and everything else related
automobiles.
Meilenwerk,
together with the V8 Hotel, is a must visit for car enthusiast.
