Shipping containers have recently made their way into the spotlight because of their sustainability and eco-friendliness as a building material and they've been used in everything from houses to work spaces. The latest in modern, environmentally-conscious building with these huge metal containers is the ContainHotel, which is modeled with three recycled shipping containers and portable.

The hotel's first location is in the Czech Republic on a surf campsite alongside the Elbe riverbank, where beachgoers can walk right up to their hotel, store their surfboards and equipment in the storage room, take a shower downstairs, and walk upstairs to their room.
