The relentless pursuit of vibrant and unique content remains paramount, particularly on popular social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, according to Newson. The Selfie Hotel is designed specifically to cater to this demand. “All of our selfie spots are lit in such a way that even non-influencers can easily take cool photos,” she notes.
This innovative interactive museum concept debuted during the challenging Corona period, born from a collaboration between Team Future and the initiative #Wirsindzukunft. Their mission was clear: to infuse joy and color into the otherwise mundane times brought on by the pandemic. Over the course of just two weeks, the construction of 20 creative sets was completed, transforming two floors of the 25hours Hotel into a vibrant attraction that drew in over 16,400 visitors within its three-month exhibition period. With support from social media, the eye-catching photos collectively reached an estimated audience of 1.2 million people.
Visitors can purchase tickets online, starting at under 16 francs, allowing them to capture as many photos as they desire during a dedicated 90-minute time slot. For those looking to switch up their look, convenient changing rooms are provided on-site for quick outfit changes.
