Hotel Everland is a project by the artist-duo L/B (Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann).

Everland is a Hotel with only one room including a bathroom, a kingsize bed and a lounge. The bounteous dimensioned room represents the subjective dream of a hotel: the architecture, the playful details, as well as the request to steal the golden embroidered bath towels. All Everland guests are partaking in the project.

Also the concept for operating the hotel was defined by the artists. All facets are important constituents of the artistic idea: The room can be booked for one night only, the mini-bar is fully stocked and included in the price, breakfast is delivered to the door and a record collection stands at ones disposal.

Hotel Everland was first developed for the Exhibition concept “Everland” at the Swiss national exhibition in the year 2002. From June 2006 until September 2007 the one room hotel was exhibited and run as a Hotel on the roof-deck of the Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig, Germany. As a last destination Hotel Everland moved to Paris from October 2007 until spring 2009. High above the city, with a view on the Eiffel Tower, it was installed on the roof of Palais de Tokyo.

After Paris, Hotel Everland travelled back to Switzerland and is not run as Hotel since. There are no additional destinations planned.
