Generally speaking, travelers avoid accommodations that have received low ratings from previous guests, but the 'One Star Hotel' from Converse sets itself apart as something else entirely. Over the course of just two days, the legendary sneaker and apparel brand is set to share music, style, sneakers and special guests with those who visit on the 16th and 17th of February.
As Converse's One Star Hotel brands itself as "a hotel like you’ve never experienced before," no reservations are required and entry is free. Within the space, guests will be invited to explore five different floors showing off exclusive sneakers, as well as rooms curated by A$AP Nast, Yung Lean and MadeMe.
As if the One Star Hotel doesn't set itself enough apart from conventional hotels, it promises "staff with attitude," "loud neighbors and zero sleep," as well as "queues round the block for the gift shop."
