Hotels are different, and they differ not only in the number of stars above the main entrance! We have already written about the most unusual hotels in the world, which are located on a tree, on a volcano, or even built of concrete pipes! It's time to tell about one more amazing place, once in which the guest immediately feels like … a prisoner! Unique Alcatraz hotel (Hotel Alcatraz) in London is a replica of the military prison of the same name in San Francisco, which is rightfully considered one of the most formidable!
So far, the London hotel has been opened only for a week as part of a PR campaign for a new serial film, the events of which unfold in the aforementioned military prison. You need to be a very brave person to stay in this extreme place: the rooms here have been turned into prison cells, specially trained "guards" walk the corridors instead of attendants, and the daily routine completely coincides with the regime of prisoners.
The hotel completely recreates the setting of the 1950s, when the American prison of Alcatraz was at its zenith. The only thing that will definitely please the guests is the food. It was believed that good food could prevent violence among prisoners, a tradition that has survived to this day. In all other respects, this is a strict regime colony!
The room has amenities - a bed with a mattress, a toilet, a sink and two shelves. The metal cups were specially brought from the museum in San Francisco to preserve the authenticity of the hotel. Exactly at 18:30 the newly minted "prisoners" move into their "cells", receive the prisoners' uniforms, and their lives are already scheduled by the minute. Feeding by the hour, obligatory morning exercises and community service (tailoring) is a must for everyone who dares to live behind bars! Unforgettable memories of the days spent in this unusual place are guaranteed to every visitor, but we can say with confidence that this is the only hotel in the world where one would not like to hear goodbye: “Come! We will be glad to see you again!"
