The room, which is here as part of the Biennial of the Americas, is lifted just over 22 feet into the air by a scissor lift that rises out of a van.
Schweder's message is that a lot of the surface parking lots in the downtown area will likely be turned into hotels at some point. He says he sees "the hotel rehearsal" pop-up room as an opportunity for people to see the city from vantage points that highlight the wonderful views that downtown has to offer. The pop-up hotel room will be in various locations around the downtown area for the next six weeks.
Wanna stay in it? It will only cost you $50,000. Yes, the Curtis Hotel, which is sponsoring the project, has a package called "Lloyd in the Sky With Diamonds," which includes a one-night stay in the floating hotel room, a limousine ride, a set of Swarovski binoculars to view the stellar sites of downtown Denver, a Tiffany diamond pendant and set of earrings, and a '60's themed party for 100 people in the Curtis's new ballroom.
Governor John Hickenlooper and Mayor Michael Hancock visited the installation today in celebration of the Biennial of the Americas.
