V8 Hotel: A petrolhead's dream
2010-08-19 06:35
If it's classic car nostalgia you're after, you should take a trip to the Meilenwerk V8 Hotel in Germany.
Shops, museums and exhibitions all revolve around the car industry in this part of Germany; the 34-room V8 Hotel is decked out in car novelty from reception to restaurant.
Unfortunately, you'd have to travel to Stuttgart to experience this unique take on old-school gas stations or going to the car wash.
With luxury bedrooms themed in racing, the drive-in, oiled garages, rusty scrap yards, gas stations, motorcycles and the car wash, even the most subdued petrolheads would want to curl up in their favourite car or hold hands in the car at the drive-in with the smell of hot candyfloss in the air.
Dreams of Formula 1 glory, grandad's Morris Minor and hours spent roaming scrap yards become a reality. It also gives "sleeping in the car" a whole new meaning.
If you could convince your partner that ia car-themed wedding is what you need then the motor inn (if you will) also caters for weddings and other functions. With trendy and classic Cadillacs, Mercs and a Morris Minor garage, how could anyone say no?
