瑞典湖泊上的漂流旅馆

Perfect for tourists who have seen enough beaches or city landscapes， this floating hotel offers a room with a different kind of view： ten feet beneath the surface of a Swedish lake.

The Utter Inn offers guests a night to remember， with windows in every wall of the bedroom looking out into the water， teeming with fish.

The “floatel” is the culmination of artist Michael Genburg， known for his unique hotel experiences including one in a tree in a city centre park， and “Ooops”， the sunken villa not far from Utter Inn by Lake Malaren.

Utter Inn has an above-surface kitchen inside a little hut made to look like a traditional Swedish cottage. At bedtime guests climb down the hatch to their sleeping quarters， which has an all-round view of life under the surface.

Mr Genburg opened Utter Inn in 2000. He said， “Its like a reverse aquarium—the fish like looking at the guests and are fascinated by them. Its as if youre sitting on your own island when youre on board—its just an amazing experience.”

After being taken out to the floating hut by Utter Inn staff， visitors can relax on the deck or use the hotels inflatable dinghy to explore one of the uninhabited islands in Lake Malaren before a night underwater life.

The artist admitted that he had his doubts about the project when it first opened. “I was quite worried as it was an unproven concept， but now I love it！ Because there is a window on every side， you feel totally submerged in the lake.”

Michael said， “A lot of people who have visited it said they slept extremely well because of the rocking motion on board. People with busy lives and high-pressured jobs tend to visit. I think there is natural peace in the very relaxing surroundings.”

“You can hear the lapping of the water outside of the windows as well which I think is a very therapeutic sound. I always want to be by water—its so soothing， romantic and calm—all at the same time.”

對看够了海滩或城市景观的游客来说漂浮旅馆是一个完美的去处，这个旅馆提供的客房位于瑞典湖泊10英尺以下，在这里视野将大不一样。

阿特旅馆为客人提供一个难忘的夜晚，卧室的每面墙都能看到鱼群丰富的湖水。

漂浮旅馆是艺术家Michael Genburg 的心血结晶，他以自己独特的旅馆体验而知名，包括一个在城市中心公园的树上旅馆，以及一个名为“Ooops”的旅馆，离梅拉伦湖上的阿特旅馆不远。

阿特旅馆有一个位于水平面以上的厨房，看起来像一个传统的瑞典小屋。到了睡觉时间，客人从舱口下到睡觉的地方，在那里有一个全方位的水下视野。

2000年，Genburg先生开了阿特旅馆。他说：“这就像一个逆向水族馆——鱼喜欢看旅馆里的客人且被他们吸引。坐在旅馆卧室就好像坐在自己的岛屿上，这是一段神奇的经历。”

被阿特旅馆的工作人员带出漂浮小屋后，游客们可以在甲板上放松身心，或在下一晚水下生活之前使用酒店的充气橡皮艇去探索梅拉伦湖上某个无人居住的岛屿。

这位艺术家承认最初开业时他怀疑过这个项目。“我很担心，因为它是一个未经证实的概念，但现在我喜欢它！因为卧室每面都有一个窗口，你会感觉自己完全淹没在湖中。”

Michael说：“很多来游玩过的人都表示因为船的摆动他们睡得非常好。生活忙碌和工作压力大的人常来这里，我觉得在非常放松的环境中很容易获得平静。”

“你还能听到窗外哗哗的水声，在我看来这是一种很治愈的声音。我总是想坐船，水总是那么舒缓、浪漫和平静。”
