Wacky Hotels You Have To See To Believe

Holiday. Even the word makes us want to do a little in-seat dance. You book the time off work, you block it off in your diary, you book an ace hotel, and you go on to tell freaking everyone about it. Hotels, after all, have a way of making or breaking a holiday, and there’s nothing more disappointing than arriving at one, only to realize it’s a corporate snooze-fest of a tower block. Yawnnnn.

We’re not saying we need Olympic-size infinity pools and Laurent-Perrier-stocked mini-bars. We’re just saying we want, you know, vibes. Memorability. Originality. Panache. And, the 14 hotels we’re about to show you have all of that in bountiful supply. Yes, these bad boys are so creatively forward-thinking and unreal that we'd take them over a traditional resort any day of the week.

1- The Castle, Dalian, China

Yes, a Bavarian fairy tale-like castle atop a mountain in China actually exists. Aptly titled The Castle, it’s one of the newest additions to Dalian’s luxury-hotel scene, and an extra place for the über-wealthy to add to their bucket lists.

2- Treehotel, Sweden

Fancy staying in a bird’s nest or in a UFO? At the Treehotel in North Sweden, either is a viable possibility, as guests can stay in one of six themed tree houses, which are all individually designed with contemporary decor and boast eco-friendly creds. There’s also a treetop sauna — cool!

3- Costa Verde, Quepos, Costa Rica

Looking like a scene out of Lost but actually a real place you can stay, the 727 Fuselage Home at Costa Verde is a 1965 vintage Boeing 727 transformed into a luxurious, two-bedroom hotel suite. The structure juts out 15 meters above ground, overlooking a jungle canopy and the sea in coastal Quepos, Costa Rica. Unique enough for you?

4- Giraffe Manor, Kenya

Here, you’ll wake up wondering why your cheek feels wet, before realizing it’s a giraffe licking your face. This is the only place in the world where you can pet giraffes through your bedroom window on the second floor — and that in itself is awesome, right? Giraffes roam the surrounding land, and guests can stroll around, feeding them at their leisure.

5- Das Park Hotel, Linz, Austria

Sleeping in sewage pipes genuinely sounds like our worst nightmare, but remarkably, Das Park Hotel in Austria has made the concept so appealing, people actually pay for it. Making good use of someone else’s junk, the ultra-hip hotel boasts a series of cabins made from segments of giant, old drainpipes that are scattered in a public park in Ottensheim. The cabins are about two meters wide, and the only window is a circular skylight at the top — perfect for those who like their privacy.

6- Whitepod, Switzerland

For a truly different ski trip, venture to Whitepod, a series of 15 cozy, igloo-like pods that are situated 1,700 meters up on the slopes of the Swiss Alps. Each one has an en-suite bathroom, wood-burning stove, and traditional Alpine furnishings, along with super-eco credentials. To help them blend into their environment, in winter they’re covered with white canvas, and in summertime they’re changed to green.

7- Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, Finland

How to keep warm and cozy in ice-cold Finland in winter? Hide in an underground igloo! The Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort offers a variety of different rooms, the quirkiest of which are the bunkers. They are built into the ground, with glass skylights — perfect for spotting the Northern Lights.

8- The Manta Resort’s Underwater Room Off Pemba Island, Tanzania

Do you want a standard room or a suite with a view? Or maybe you are looking for something even better? In this case you would probably like to consider the underwater bedroom! Especially if you are looking for both relaxation and adventure.

Welcome then to the Pemba Island floating hotel room. It is part of the marvelous Manta Resort in Zanzibar, Africa. The floating multi-level structure is another amazing work by the Swedish designer Mikael Genberg (Genberg Underwater Hotels). The room floats anchored above a shallow coastal coral reef. It allows its visitors to enjoy the scene around from above, below, and at sea level. The floating hotel has a bedroom four meters below the surface and the panoramic windows hide nothing of the underwater world from the room occupants.
