The ugliest hotel 6 - Museumotel, France

Thanks to my mate Kirka, I have another contender for the ugliest hotel in the world. Thanks!

Museumotel in the region of Vosges, France is a group of bubble like shaped houses, which were lately renovated and now reopened to public.
Built in late 1960, the Museumotel was designed by Pascal Hausermann, whose ambition was to create practical, cheap residences, very different from the big grey concrete city districts.

Complex offers 6 small and 3 large bubble houses, all with shower rooms and internet access for an average price of €60.

While I can applaud the enthusiasts who restored the hotel to its former glory, I still cannot believe how the Museumotel managed to get into “The 1000 most beautiful hotels in Europe”… maybe it is some hobbit conspiracy (?!)

Dubai to launch cheap airline

Dubai’s government is to establish a low-cost airline, which will be managed by the biggest Arab airline Emirates.

Dubai is also spending $33 billion to build what it intends to be the world's largest airport at Jebel Ali in the south of the emirate. The six-runway al-Maktoum International Airport will be 10 times the size of Dubai's existing airport and bigger by area than London's Heathrow and Chicago's O'Hare airports combined when completed in 2012.
