At a time when the planet is suffering and mankind's influence on the world has never been more evident, more and more people are turning to green solutions and eco-friendly ideas in every aspect of their lives. Recycling old objects isn't only good for the planet, it's also a lot of fun, allowing creative people to express their imaginative sides and give used items new life in incredible ways. Nowhere is this more evident than at the Flophouze Hotel.
The Flophouze Hotel is made up of old shipping containers.
Upon arrival, you'll find the Houze stocked with good quality sparkling water and a range of complimentary drinks, and you can head over to the local town of Round Top to stock up on supplies at the town's market or grocery stores. The local area is great for all kinds of outdoor activities, from kayaking and hiking in the days to dancing and live entertainment in the evenings.
Staying at the Flophouze Hotel
If you'd like to stay at the Flophouze Hotel and enjoy the wonders of this fully recycled style of accommodation for yourself, the process is very easy. You can visit the hotel's official site to see details and dates for each of the six main Houzes.
Matt White, the owner of the Flophouze Hotel, actually bought this property for himself but has decided to rent it out to interested guests as well. It's not a shipping container, but still has a fascinating past, being purchased by hippies in the 1970s and used as a nature retreat for people who wanted to get away from the smog and smoke of the city.
