Sleeping in cars takes on a whole new meaning with a wacky twist for collector car themed rooms at a hotel in Germany for the auto-obsessed, where you’ll find anything from the classics, sports cars, a Mercedes-Benz car wash, 70′s Cadillac drive-in cinema, and even a Morris Minor garage — all cleverly designed with many original parts from the automotive world.

Located in the center of Stuttgart’s Meilenwerk — a German international hub for car dealers — the V8 Hotel is built inside the city’s first airport in Baden-Württemberg, where the hotel also has a suite built on 3 levels within the building’s former control tower.

For those with deep pockets, the top-of-the-line 120sqm Zeppelin Suite featuring a sauna, terrace and landscape views over the old airport grounds will set you back about $489 a night.

“Everybody wants to stay here when they come to the Meilenwerk.” said hotel employee Heike Petzold.
“It’s really amazing because even people who live in the area come here to stay for a night in the themed rooms.”

“It attracts everyone of all ages, from children to old age pensioners and of course businessmen during the week and families too.”
“All kinds of people come here, so it’s not just for car enthusiasts, but of course there are those that are interested in car history and the automobile industry’s connections to the region too.”
“We’ve even had a few celebrity guests, but I can’t say who they are as I’m not allowed.”
The 4-star hotel incorporates 34 themed rooms designed with chic details and antique accessories, and the car theme continues from the lobby through to the restaurant. There is plenty to rev the motor up by auto enthusiasts, travelers, and truckers alike.

apart from the bed, the moris minor room represents the best theme
Amazing ideas of insanity and pure genius. These may look crazy but it is a masterpiece, a real work of art. Awesome!
this idea is just amazing. Would love to sleep in one of them one day
i love the theme…first class art for car lovers..^_^
I really loved this idea of sleeping in car hotels. Very adventurous and innovative. Excellent for car lovers.
sleeping in a car is worth a try. Will include it in my list. Interesting read.
love to have these kinds of rooms in my house.
I love original hotel rooms! Really adds to a memorable trip. The route 66 room would be my favorite, with the car wash room as a close second.
Route 66 is just awesome……I dont know why but it also gives an arabian look too
WOW! So many ideas… I will start working on my hubcap and wheel bedside table tomorrow, thanks a for great post
Very cool. I love how they use actual car parts to create the bed and room furniture. The one below the Shell photos is my favorite.
That is a new perspective of a hotel. So this no longer applies for homeless people living in their cars! It seems a good place to pass by. Nevertheless, I would not rent a car there. It reminds me the old garage of my father.
Now all i have to do is convince my Husband to get one of the car beds i wan : )
