The EastLink hotel

The EastLink hotel is a sculpture designed by Callum Morton. [1] It was unveiled on 27 November 2007 and cost A$1.2 million to construct. It is situated along EastLink, a toll road located in Victoria, Australia. [2] [3] [4] During the night, windows randomly light up, giving the illusion of several "hotel" guests.
