The Republic of Estonia (Eesti Vabariik), referred to as Estonia,

is a country with the best and most comfortable air quality in the world.

It is located on the east coast of the Baltic Sea.

While the use of containers in construction has become an increasingly popular solution,

the first container hotel has also opened in Tallinn, the capital with a prosperous tourism industry.

[Hektor Container] is the first container hotel to open in the region,

located in a locomotive warehouse in the Tsarist era, close to Tallinn's main railway station.

Originally an old industrial park, it has been upgraded

and transformed into the heart of a fashion and creative park.

 And this creative and transformative hotel blends perfectly

with the atmosphere of the creatively transformed park.

At the entrance of the hotel is an industrial-style public lounge area.

The selection of furniture and the exposed pipes on the walls all show

that it was originally an unused factory warehouse.

You don't seem to see the reception staff because of the fully electronic check-in.

In order to meet the needs of tourists, the hotel has complete supporting facilities.

In addition to the distinctive public rest area, there is also a public restaurant,

a spacious indoor activity space, and an indoor garden with comfortable leather sofas.

All rooms in the hotel are built in shipping containers and retain the original shell shape of the shipping containers.

Despite the rough exterior walls, it can still provide travelers with a comfortable living experience.

"Living in a warehouse" sounds like a simple environment and a hard life,

but in fact [Hektor Container Hotel] can bring you an unprecedented high-level industrial style experience,

 making you even feel like sleeping in a five-star hotel.

A total of 84 containers are divided into two floors

 and placed in the huge old locomotive warehouse,

and ensure that each floor has enough natural light

to avoid passengers feeling dark and closed indoors.

At the same time, one whole end of each steel container was removed and replaced with glass.

Travelers living in the container rooms overlook the thoughtful

and well-designed common areas outside, alluding to the building's industrial heritage.

No key card or key is required to enter the room, instead,

all you need is a six-digit code to unlock the container door.

The interior design is mainly simple and the space is relatively small,

mainly to highlight the industrial flavor of the building.

The high bed is set by the window in the room,

and the curtains are drawn to ensure the privacy of the room.

There is also a shelf at the head of the bed.

There is a built-in desk beside the bed, and power sockets are distributed in every corner,

where you can do office and other activities.

There is a bathroom in the room separated by a wall.

Different from the pure white design in the room,

all the walls of the bathroom are painted black, forming a strong contrast,

 only relying on the ceiling lamp to provide light,

creating a fashionable industrial feeling.
