As Far As Locations Go,

Hotel EastLink could have done a tad better,

 photograph Rory Hyde/Flickr, it is placed on a motorway outside of Melbourne, in Australia’s Victoria state, the hotel is situated by the roadside, nothing much to see or do nearby, which is just as well as there is not a road leading to it for guests to use from the motorway, the lonely hotel with rooms lit at night upon reflection looks sort of strange, and at 20 meters tall, 12m wide, and 5m thick it is strange, so what is it all about?

it is a art installation designed by local artist Callum Morton, the Hotel EastLink was unveiled in 2007, the whole thing is a sculpture designed purely for ornamental purposes, “Motorists will view it from the car as an actual hotel and perhaps over time as a strangely de-scaled prop that has escaped a theme park or film set,” artist Callum Morton described the concept of this project in the early 2000s. Now, almost two decades later it is still there fooling motorists, “I think it’s kind of interesting how putting something in a space that is slightly beguiling or is a little bit strange, how that maybe changes the way people think about art or practice,” Callum Morton said about his unique artwork, for more about the artwork it has its own website, have a look here.
