Hotel of Cards

Ever lost a hotel key card? Perhaps we know where it is.

Holiday Inn commissioned Bryan Berg, a world record-holding ‘card stacker,’ to construct a 400 square-foot hotel in New York City made entirely of 200,000 plastic key cards. The stunt is Holiday Inn’s way of promoting the brand’s re-launch featuring 1,200 new hotels in 2009.

The two-ton construction was Berg’s largest card-stacking challenge to date and the only card creation he has ever made to full human scale. The hotel itself includes a guest bedroom, bathroom and lobby, all fully equipped with functioning life-sized furniture. So, next time you’re in New York, check in and check it out.
