Origami contest
At Hôtel Origami, paper folding is more than a nod to our name: it's a bit of a house obsession. So every month, we set you a challenge. Three models to fold, from the easiest to the trickiest, one sheet of paper and a night for two to be won. No need to be an expert: a slightly wonky fold stands just as much of a chance as a perfect crane. The idea is to have fun, share your creation, and maybe walk away with a free night on us.
How to take part
Three steps, five minutes, no complicated sign-up.
- Pick one of this month's three models below, easy, medium or hard, and follow the step-by-step tutorial.
- Fold your origami, then take a photo or a video of it. At home, in your room, on the breakfast table: wherever you like.
- Post your creation on Instagram with the hashtag #HotelOrigami and tag our account @hotel_origami [TO BE UPDATED - Instagram account being created]. That's it.
