Travelodge’s shipping container hotelSmartplanet - Adam Vaughan – 19 August 08

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you — this really is a hotel constructed from shipping containers.

Click on to see how it was constructed like a giant Lego set.

This may be the first shipping container hotel in Europe, but it won’t be last. Travelodge is also building a 307 room version at Heathrow.
