And now, a hospitality giant is taking advantage of this hype to (literally) roll out its own unconventional hotel alternative.

Let's take a closer look at Hilton on the Green, a pop-up hotel room on wheels designed for golf enthusiasts at the 2022 RBC Canadian Open and the upcoming Women's Open.

The concept was created with design company Artam Design and advertising agency Fuse Create.

To build the 160-square-foot space, the team drove a custom trailer onto the golf course near the third hole where the hotel room was then completed on-site.

The outside may look different from a traditional hotel room. But inside, Hilton on the Green has everything a typical Hilton room might have.

It's also movable and self-sufficient so the room can be placed wherever the company would like, Jennifer White, Hilton's director of destination marketing, told Insider in an email statement …

But don't scramble to book Hilton on the Green for your upcoming summer vacation.

For now, the concept is exclusive to golf tournaments.

Golf and tiny home enthusiasts entered an online contest to win a stay at the hotel room during the Canadian Open, which ran from June 6 to 12.

The pop-up room will also make an appearance at the Women's Open in August.

But after that, the fate of Hilton on wheels will be unknown: "We have no immediate plans to create more hotel rooms of this kind," White said. "Maybe 'Hilton on the Grand Canyon' is next?"
