A single underwater room in a Swedish lake near Stockholm.
The Utter Inn is the brainchild of Mikael Genberg, an artist and public speaker who has chosen to focus on the “making art for the public”.
The single room of the hotel lies 3m below the surface of Lake Mälaren in Västerås, Sweden and contains only TWIN BEDS and a table.
It opened in June 2000 on the coldest, rainiest day in the whole summer.
Despite that it was a great success.
Not only did all the untested solutions work, and work to this day, but it also attracted a people from all corners of the world.
The Utter Inn stimulates the most typical of Swedish dreams; to have a small Swedish red house with white gables on your own island.
On top of that you can spend your night three meters underwater with panoramic windows in all directions.There is a remarkable feeling to go to bed while the fish are surrounding and watching you carefully.
You are in an aquarium – for fish to be beholders of man.Often boats come quite close to get a glance of the daring inhabitants.
Swedish boat people are however always very polite and never take more than two trips around your room
