Book A Beach-Side Stay In A Converted Lifeguard Stand

By Emma Hutchings on January 24, 2012

As part of a project by a group of designers and architects, city spaces that stand empty are being turned into isolated guest rooms by the Pixel Hotel chain. In time for the winter, a lifeguard shack in Tel Aviv will be transformed into a boutique one-room hotel on the beach.

The Pixel Hotel chain originated in Linz, Austria, as an urban art project by a group of local architects. They renovated rooms scattered in unique places around the city, such as a boat docked on the river or a courtyard that was once a carpentry shop.

The Tel Aviv Pixel team includes the artists and designers Lilach Chitayat, Anat Safran, and Alon Chitayat. They plan to convert a lifeguard shack on Bograshov Beach into a hospitality space during the winter when it isn’t in use. In the future, they also hope to offer unique pop-up hotel rooms at Jaffa Port and in water towers in Tel Aviv and other cities.
