Museumotel by Pascal Hausermann

Museumotel was originally designed in 1966 by architect Pascal Hausermann for hotelier M. Thierry as a cluster of 9 domed white bungalows that look like space pods crossed with hobbit holes, plopped down in the wooded landscape of northeastern France. Originally called “Motel de l’Eau Vive”, the hotel was very successful, but the ensuing years took its toll on the hotel and it was eventually sold but never regained popularity and was left abandoned. After becoming a private residence in 2003, the hotel was eventually sold and was fully renovated and brought up to modern standards; though Hausermann’s distinctive design has been left untouched.
