Whenever you take a business trip or vacation you need to find a good hotel to stay in. Most people prefer to find regular lodging, but after awhile the majority of hotels all start to feel the same. If you’re bored of traditional hotels and are feeling adventurous you can try staying in one of these seven weird hotels, which are designed to make your visit feel unique and memorable.
1. Dog Bark Park Inn
If you’re visiting Cottonwood, Idaho you can stay at the Dog Bark Park Inn, which is built in the shape of a giant beagle. The rooms are filled with dog decorations, guests are fed dog shaped cookies, the gift shop sells all sorts of dog related products and you’ll even use an outhouse disguised as a giant fire hydrant. With room for only four people at a time this bed and breakfast is marketed towards families and dog lovers.
2. Null Stern Hotel
Null Stern is an abandoned Swiss nuclear shelter that’s been converted into a hotel. “Null Stern” translates to “zero star”, and that rating is earned because guests don’t get much more than a bed and hot water. You’ll even have to share your room with up to six other people. On the plus side a night only costs ten dollars, but this hotel isn’t designed just for travelers on a budget. Its creators are marketing it both as a social experiment and a chance for guests to get to know their fellow travelers on a more intimate level.
3.Karostas Cietums
If you’ve ever wanted to spend the night in a former Soviet prison then this is the place for you. Based in Latvia, your hotel room is literally nothing more than a prison cell. If you’re willing to pay a little extra you can even get the full prison experience; the hotel’s “guards” will treat you like an actual prisoner so you can see what life was like for its former inmates. Tours are also offered, and there’s a museum as well.
4. Library Hotel
Do you like books? Do you really, really like books? Then the library hotel is where you’ll want to stay if you visit New York City. Every floor and room is dedicated to a different category in the Dewy Decimal system. Each room is full of books from its category and is decorated specifically to match the theme. With sixty rooms in all there’s something for every guest, from philosophy to mathematics to erotic literature. There’s also a restaurant and lounge, and enough services are provided to make this a pretty luxurious place to stay.
5. Jumbo Hostel
A lot of travelers have slept on a plane at some point, because it’s a good way to get some rest while you’re flying to your destination. The people behind the Jumbo Hostel hope that you enjoy sleeping on a plane so much you’ll be willing to do it on the ground too. A retired 747 jet has been modified to house 85 guests, plus a café. It’s just ten minutes away from the Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, which means you can hop off one plane and go sleep in another. There’s even a suite in the cockpit, and guests have a good view of air traffic going in and out of the airport.
6. Propeller Island City Lodge
This German hotel claims that you can “live in a piece of art”, as each room is designed with a specific artistic vision in mind. One room is painted entirely orange, another has its bed suspended from the ceiling (no overweight guests allowed in this one), and a third has walls made entirely of mirrors to make the room feel like a giant kaleidoscope. If you’re feeling particular morbid you can even sleep in a coffin; this hotel has an incredible variety of rooms.
7. Hang Nga
This Vietnamese Hotel is built to look like a giant, whimsical treehouse. The tree is artificial but it’s covered in very real plant life, and the rooms have themes to match the tree setting. One room has giant ants on the walls, along with ant shaped lamps and coat hangers to complete the motif. The courtyard features giant spider webs mixed in with the foliage. Large branches jutting in and out of rooms at random really enhances the feeling of living in a giant tree.
