Banksy, the elusive yet famous British graffiti artist, has opened a hotel in the West Bank. The Walled Off Hotel, as it is called, will begin taking reservations on March 11. The hotel however, is not exactly your typical accommodations. Located in Bethlehem, the hotel looks directly at a wall that Israel built through the occupied territory. The overt and purposefully political move was of course the intention of the provocative artist, and the hotel even bills itself as having the "worst view in the world."

But for true fans of the artist’s work, the interiors do not disappoint. One guest room mural depicts an Israeli border policeman and a Palestinian man taking part in a pillow fight. Installation art can be seen throughout the hotel, and there are also references to the area’s colonial past. The piano bar is said to be a nod to the territory’s British history, and the hotel’s opening is perhaps timed to mark the year of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. The hotel’s goal, according to its website, is to stay open for this entire centenary year.

In the recent past, Banksy has completed works in the Gaza Strip. But when it comes to such an immersive experience, the hotel has much more in common with Dismaland, the artist’s dystopian riff on Disneyland. Somewhat disturbing, but also important to see.
