Hotels just got a little more hi-tech!

Welcome to BlowUpHall; an art hotel located in the old Polish city of Poznań. This pioneering luxury lodging is named after Michelangelo Antonioni’s cult film classic, “Blow Up.”

At Blow Up Hall 5050, there is no reception area or hotel room numbers. Guests don’t select a suite, but rather pick a card which designates avant-garde rooms that are tailored by theme. Rooms range from zebra-striped suites to simplistic white-washed walls, and keys are replaced by iPhones which utilize IT technology to source out and unlock individual suites.

Room service is ordered by using the suite’s touchscreen televisions, but the clincher of this radical accodomation has to be the 24-7 CCTV surveillance cameras that film the entire stay of each guest. While seemingly invasive, the Blow Up Hall 5050 hotel assures modesty and discretion is utilized at all filming times, and for no benefit other than creating a “Big Brother” effect.

A bevy of recreational entertainment is available, ranging from spa/steam rooms to local shopping at the nearby city centre. A seven-minute walk to Poland’s Old Market Square transports tourists back in time with 16th century architecture, shops and historical landmarks.

For all those seeking an unconventional stay, Blow Up Hall 5050 is truly an innovative lodging experience; combining sleek, modern motifs against a Renaissance backdrop.
