Room available in "MINI Hotel International". MINI launches an unusual promotional campaign for football fans for the 2006 Football World Cup.

Munich. Everything's possible with MINI. Any time. Any place. Sometimes
even the seemingly impossible. Such as the idea of a MINI hotel
"on wheels" for the 2006 Football World Cup, appearing in
host cities where all hotel rooms have been booked for months. To
coincide with the World Cup, MINI is creating some MINIs especially for
football fans. Designed to look like mobile "fan hotels", they
will be touring the streets in various host cities where matches are
being played. They will carry the message: "welcome to the MINI
Hotel International", "MINI Hotel Brazil", "MINI
Hotel Italy" and "MINI Hotel France", because naturally,
MINI hotels are always right at the heart of the best World Cup action.
To ensure all football fans feel at home during the World Cup, the
"MINI Hotel International" will be joined by MINI national
hotels in corresponding national colours. A MINI promoter will gladly
open the doors to fans wishing try out a bed for size. And the
"MINI Hotel International" is equipped so comfortably, that
whoever wishes can spend an entire night in it. Highly flexible, the
MINI hotels are always on the move. They will only stop in places where
football fever is especially high. There are no clues as to exactly
where. Therefore to make sure they see the MINI hotels for themselves,
fans should keep an eye out in the World Cup cities. The travelling MINI
national hotels will of course always be around when their country's
team is playing. Here are a few hot tips on dates to begin with: MINI
