Hotel Room

Points of interest

1. 1

   AC controls

   Touch the screen to wake it up; the photo shows what everything does. Setting it to 16 °C with the window open is between you and the planet.

2. 2

   TV

   The video covers the basics, from the remote to the inputs. The remote lives on the nightstand. If it doesn't, check under the pillow. It's always under the pillow.

3. 3

   Emergency lever

   Pull only in an emergency. It calls for help, not for more towels.

4. 4

   Photo: Beogradjanka

   The "Belgrade Lady": 24 floors and 101 metres of dark glass, watching over the city centre since 1974. Officially it's Palata Beograd, but nobody calls it that.

5. 5

   Painting: Downtown, as Seen by a Pigeon

   Streets, rooftops and one suspicious parked object, all from a pigeon's point of view. The pigeon declined to be named.

6. 6

   Painting: Origami With Ambition

   It started as a sheet of paper with big plans, and it has been reaching for the ceiling ever since.

7. 7

   Phone

   A telephone with a cord, for the full retro experience. Dial 9 for reception and 0 for an outside line.

8. 8

   Sockets

   Power for everything you brought, plus USB ports, so all you need to remember is the cable.

9. 9

   Light switches

   There are switches all around the room, so you never have to cross it in the dark. Working out which one does what is a classic first-night game.

10. 10

    Bathtub

    Built for long soaks. Bring a book, not your phone.

11. 11

    Shower cabin

    For mornings when the bathtub feels like too much commitment.

12. 12

    Slippers

    Yours for the stay. One size fits approximately everyone.

13. 13

    Cosmetics

    Shampoo, shower gel and friends, refilled daily. Taking the little bottles home is a time-honoured tradition.
