Banksy Opens Palestine Hotel With Original Music By Massive Attack, Trent Reznor, & Flea

Banksy’s latest project is the Walled Off Hotel, a fully functioning art hotel in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. With windows overlooking the wall separating the Palestinian territory from Israel, Banksy is billing it as “the hotel with the worst view in the world.” In addition to a gallery curated by Dr. Housni Alkhateeb Shehada and a museum curated in association with Dr. Gavin Grindon of Essex University, the guesthouse features nine available rooms and a colonial-themed piano bar with an automated player piano featuring original scores from Massive Attack’s 3D, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Flea, Hans Zimmer, and more. A different pre-recorded “concert” will play every night at 9PM. The hotel officially opens for business on 3/11, and rooms start at $30 per night (plus a $1000 safety deposit to protect the artwork).
