Hotel guest goes viral after giving a tour of the wild ‘one-of-a-kind’ room the front desk offered her at check-in

A hotel guest has sent the internet into a frenzy after touring the wild, one-of-a-kind room the front desk offered her upon check-in.

US-based content creator Julia, who did not reveal her last name, took to TikTok to showcase the ‘Leopard’ room at the Saint Kate Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The space, packed with quirky patterns and colours, was created in 2019 by artist Lon Michels to ‘completely engulf’ the participant – and that’s exactly what it did.

Julia’s tour was quickly flooded with comments when one viewer labeled it “Giving Lisa Frank,” referring to the lifestyle company synonymous with its out-of-the-box designs.

In the video, which has been viewed more than 1.2 million times so far, Julia begins: ‘When I arrived at my hotel this morning, the lady at reception asked if I wanted a special, unique room.’

Julia seized the opportunity when the employee confessed, “I’m just warning you that it’s a lot, so if you want to switch rooms, just call me and we can switch you.”

And the room did not disappoint.

As she panned the camera around the room, which was covered from floor to ceiling in a rainbow explosion, she explained, “It’s totally leopard themed.

‘EveEvery square inch of this hotel room has a leopard theme. It’s a kind of murder.

‘It is much. The ceilings, the floors, the closet, the bathroom, everything.”

The content creator continued, “Everyone keeps telling me I’m crazy for staying here, but I think it’s too iconic not to stay here.”

Julia concluded: ‘SLet me know, could you stay here with these deer staring at you while you sleep, or is it too much?

‘That is fair. Maybe I’ll move tomorrow. Just kidding. I have to stay for the plot.”

Julia’s clip was quickly flooded with likes and received thousands of mixed reactions.

On the one hand, there were people who were fans of the room like oOne person wrote: ‘I’m overstimulated but I would deal with it. It IS too iconic to give up.”

Another added, “It might look like a Midwest version of Kusama.”

A third said: ‘I agree, it’s too iconic NOT to stay there lol.’

Another follower said: ‘I would be so overstimulated and so honoured.’

One person jokingly added: ‘You must have a good vibe because the lady at reception must have said, “Yes, she’s the one who will like the room.”

Another wrote humorously: ‘Too bad the sheets weren’t leopard. Whether you do it or not. 10/10.’

But on the other hand, some viewers were not fans of the eccentric room.

ONo one wrote, “If I woke up here with a hangover, I would be devastated.”

Another commenter added: “The fight or flight I got when you revealed the room.”

A third person added: ‘No. I could never relax there. I get dizzy just thinking about it.”

“It’s a bit overwhelming, I don’t think I could do it,” a fourth person wrote.

One commenter wrote: ‘That would be like living in a trapper guard. I would have nightmares. Not really.’

Regarding the fear of repetitive patterns or clusters of small holes, one more person added: ‘This would trigger my trypophobia.’

“I never realized it but I definitely have a decor limit for hotel rooms,” one commenter wrote.

Lon’s biography on the room’s plaque read: ‘I have been painting for over 50 years and have completed over 3,000 paintings, having had numerous exhibitions.

‘My work is part of many collections worldwide. I am very pleased and grateful to Portrait Society Gallery and the Saint Kate Hotel for this opportunity to make you smile. Thank you.’
