If, in the traditional sense, a hotel is a significant, but not the most important part of a trip, then some masterpieces of the hotel industry are ready to completely destroy this stereotype. Staying in underwater rooms, unusual capsules or ice suites will surely leave you with as much experience as the architecture, history or nature of new places. How do owners of the most incredible hotels in the world surprise their clients?
Icehotel
The world's leading designers are invited to visit the real kingdom of the Snow Queen, each year updating the unique project of the hotel, created from snow and ice. This architectural wonder, located in the small Swedish village of Jukkasjärvi, has no analogues in the world.
For a quarter of a century, talented artists and sculptors have come to the hotel at the beginning of the winter season to decorate it with new masterpieces. In addition to traditional rooms, guests are offered to visit an ice restaurant and even a church, where wedding ceremonies are held in an unusual setting.
True, all the amenities necessary for tourists are located in an unremarkable building next door. And it is not recommended to stay in a snow hotel longer than one night. Since a long stay in the cold will not benefit everyone.
Poseidon Undersea Resort
Admire the beauty of the underwater world without leaving your room, offers guests this elite five-star hotel located on a private island in Fiji. To services of tourists there are also overwater apartments, erected on stilts away from land. As for the main attraction of the hotel - the rooms at a depth of 15 m, they are transparent capsules with an area of about 50 square meters. All 25 rooms are connected by one common corridor.
Among the most unusual services offered to guests is the opportunity to observe the inhabitants of the depths of the sea without getting out of your own bed. For this, the room provides for the inclusion of a special light that attracts underwater inhabitants.
At the time of opening in 2008, the cost of living was $ 30 thousand per week for two people. Over the past time, this amount has probably increased several times.
Free spirit spheres
Silence, unity with nature and the opportunity to literally "get off the ground" are offered to guests by the Free Spirit Spheres mini-hotel, which is located in Vancouver, Canada. In a picturesque forest corner, tourists are greeted by cozy spherical houses, suspended above the ground at a distance of about 3 meters. The unusual structures are made of wood or fiberglass, equipped with the necessary furniture, and also have large windows. As conceived by the authors, smoothly swaying in the air and observing the pristine beauty of the world, each guest will feel unity with nature, relaxation and will receive a useful psychological reboot.
Ariau jungle towers
This incredible hotel from Brazil invites you to spend an unforgettable vacation surrounded by tropical forests. It is called the largest hotel complex in the world, which is built on trees. The rooms are located in eight independent towers. The towers are connected with each other by special hanging paths. The apartments offer a beautiful view of the evergreen forest and the Rio Negro River, one of the tributaries of the Amazon.
In total, the hotel territory stretches for 8 km along the river bank. One of the main attractions for tourists are excursion tours to the jungle, including acquaintance with the local flora and fauna.
V8 Hotel
This hotel will appeal to real motorists. Its interior and design uses elements of famous cars of the past, including the rarest and most expensive models. In addition, the hotel is part of an open-air automobile museum located near Stuttgart, Germany. The exhibition center occupies the area of the former Baden-Württemberg airport. So after an interesting and eventful day at the museum, tourists will be able to gain strength in a cozy hotel next door.
Magic mountain lodge
In the most beautiful region of Chile, in the Huilo Nature Reserve, there is an amazing hotel that resembles a mountain or a volcano from a science fiction movie. The walls of the building are covered with stones, moss and tropical plants, and only small windows remind of the man-made origin of this green miracle. For greater reliability, a semblance of a waterfall has been recreated at the top of the hotel, so that water drains effectively along the facade of the building.
The hotel offers accommodation in 13 rooms, each with its own name in honor of rare birds from the local reserve.
Sun Cruise Resort
A unique hotel from South Korea invites its guests to take a sea cruise while staying on land. And this is not surprising, because it is built on a cliff by the sea and looks like a giant cruise ship. The interior design of the rooms also completely repeats the interiors of sea tourist ships.
An artificial reservoir located around the unusual hotel building is even able to imitate the sound of sea waves. This gives guests the complete impression of traveling across the endless ocean. And a pleasant bonus of this "cruise by land" will be the absence of the risk of seasickness.
