The Ice Hotel is a landmark in Canada and is considered one of the best five-star hotels in the world, built only of ice. The furniture, very comfortable according to tourists' estimations, is also made of ice.

It has its own bar, a movie theater, two art galleries and, of course, comfortable rooms with all amenities, as well as a heated toilet and an outdoor Jacuzzi. Only you have to sleep in fur sleeping bags.
The hotel first opened its doors in January 2001, and it is located near Quebec City, next to the Montmorency Falls. Every year it is visited by more than 500 thousand tourists.
The area of the complex is small - only three thousand square meters, and every year houses with new interiors are built on it. About 4.5 thousand tons of snow and 250 tons of ice are used for the construction of this original hotel.

It is clear that the equipment in it is real, not ice, and the doors are made of wood, and the fireplace burns with a scalding flame, but in the bar there are glasses made of stable ice, which do not melt even from the heat of the brazier. However, guests prefer paper cups with wine and coffee.
Every year in the middle of January there is a grand opening of the newly built hotel with magnificent fireworks, performance of fakirs and orchestral music. The hotel works only for three months and disappears naturally, warmed by the rays of the warm spring sun in April.

Canadians borrowed the idea of the unusual structure called Hotel de Glace from the Swedes, where a similar ice palace, only four times bigger, has long been welcoming visitors and residents of the country.

The bedroom is located at a depth of three meters. The underwater part is equipped with huge windows, but don't expect to see something original, as behind them there is a cold lake, not the deep Pacific Ocean teeming with inhabitants.

Those wishing for privacy in extreme conditions register in the town of Westeros, and then go by boat to the place of residence. The private hotel is located a kilometer offshore.

At the top, protruding above the water, there is a small kitchen, dining room and toilet, and a terrace around the perimeter. Downstairs is a bedroom with two beds and a table.
If you're lucky with the weather, you'll have some exciting fishing. You can take a boat trip on the lake or just admire the scenery. Dinner can be delivered on request.

Giraffe Manor Hotel, located in Nairobi, Kenya, is one of the most exotic hotels in the world. This hotel offers a unique opportunity to experience the world of wildlife and meet animals in their natural habitat.
The hotel is located on the territory of the savannah, where giraffes live. They walk freely around the hotel grounds and even peek into the windows of the rooms to meet guests. At Giraffe Manor, guests are invited to hand feed the giraffes and also take part in a morning ceremony where the giraffes look out their long necks into the restaurant windows, waiting for a treat.
But Giraffe Manor is not just a place to meet giraffes. The hotel offers luxurious colonial-style rooms with large windows and stunning views of nature. There is a restaurant where guests can enjoy Kenyan cuisine and a bar where they can relax and enjoy cocktails.
The Giraffe Manor Boutique Hotel in Nairobi is an exclusive hotel with a permanent herd of wild giraffes. Owned by The Safari Collection, this boutique hotel in Nairobi is one of the most unique places to stay in the world. Giraffe Manor combines extraordinary wildlife encounters with exquisite hospitality and a long-term commitment to giraffe conservation. Set on 12 acres of private land in 140 acres of native forest in the Nairobi suburb of Langata, the historic mansion is one of Nairobi's most iconic buildings. It has an extraordinary appeal that takes us back to the 1930s when visitors first flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. With its grand facade, elegant interior, verdant gardens, sunny terraces and delightful courtyards, guests often remark that it's like getting into the movie Out of Africa: indeed, one of its twelve rooms is named after the author, Karen Blixen.

One of the most exciting things about Giraffe Manor is its resident herd of Nubia/Rothschild giraffes, which may come in the morning and evening, poking their long necks through the windows in hopes of a treat before retiring to their forest hideaway. The Nubia/Rothschild giraffe species was once a highly endangered species, but Giraffe Manor has long been part of a breeding program that has successfully increased their numbers in the wild. The Giraffe Manor boutique hotel in Nairobi can be booked overnight or as part of a full customized Kenya safari with The Safari Collection.

1. ICEHOTEL (Sweden, Jukkasjärvi)

It may be crazy, but it is unique, and this hotel is known all over the world. In Jukkasjärvi, a small town 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, is the ICEHOTEL Ice Hotel. This unusual art project is 25 years old.
Every winter the hotel premises are rebuilt anew. The material used is frozen water from the unique river Tourne-Elve, which is never used for industrial purposes. Every spring the ice melts, so the rooms are always the same: the walls, decor and furniture are always different from year to year. Visitors are given thermal underwear, hats and sleeping bags. At any temperature outside, the rooms are never colder than -7 °C.

2. CRAZY HOUSE HOTEL (Vietnam, Dalat)The Crazy House Hotel, unique in its kind, can be a separate attraction of the city of Dalat, located in the central highlands of Vietnam, thanks to the original design of the building and each of the rooms. The guest house resembles a huge bizarre tree. Not a single corner: all walls are rounded, staircases spiral or spiral from one building to another. Travelers can not pass by and not be surprised by the fantasy of the architect. All the houses are made in the form of fairy-tale caves, in which giant trees, plants and mushrooms, as well as animals, insects and fairy-tale creatures are intertwined.

3. PROPELLER ISLAND CITY LODGE (Germany, Berlin)

Berlin hotel Propeller Island City Lodge is an artistic project by German artist Lars Strohsen, named in honor of Jules Verne's fantastic novel “Floating Island”. The rooms of the unusual hotel resemble recreated fantasies and dreams: guests can reincarnate into medieval knights, forest creatures, sailors, rock idols and even vampires. The space is complemented by visual, light and sound effects and details decorating the interiors.No room at Propeller Island City Lodge is alike. Here you can sleep in a room reminiscent of a medieval town, where the bed in the form of a castle stands on a mini-golf course; in a snow-white coffin; in a bed surrounded by shimmering mirrors and even a brothel. In one of the hotel rooms all the furniture is nailed to the ceiling.

4. GREEN PLAZA SHINJUKU CAPSULE HOTEL (Japan, Tokyo)

This capsule hotel consists of two parts: a common living room and personal space of each guest, where the famous rooms are located. The design of the rooms reminds something of the rooms on the spaceship in the famous movie “The Fifth Element”. The capsule room is made of reinforced plastic and includes all necessary amenities: TV, radio, alarm clock, lighting, internet, comfortable bed and no extra space.

5. eco-hotel LEAPRUS (Russia, Kabardino-Balkaria)

One of the highest hotels in the world (3912 meters) is located on the southern slope of Elbrus. It consists of several blocks resembling space capsules, which can accommodate up to 40 guests at a time. The project was created by the architects of the Italian bureau LEAP factory, who built a similar hotel on the Mont Blanc mountain in the Western Alps. All elements of comfortable accommodation have been thought out for recreation: heated floors, free WI-FI, panoramic windows in the rooms and a separate heated room for drying clothes and equipment. The hotel is solar-powered, and melted snow is used for the complex's water supply.

6. DOG BARK PARK INN (USA, Idaho, Cottonwood)

This inn was built by married couple Dennis Sullivan and Frances Conklin, Dennis Sullivan and Frances Conklin and opened in 2003. It is striking in its unusual appearance: from the outside it looks like a huge beagle dog, about 10 meters tall. She even has her own nickname - “Sweet Willie”, near her stands a figure of a smaller dog called “Toby”, 3.5 meters high.The hotel currently has four rooms, which look homely and cozy.

7. TREE HOTEL (Sweden, Harads).

The mirror cube, nestled in the trees in the forest wilderness, reflects everything that surrounds it: the forest wilderness, the glade and the sky, so the construction with the size of 4x4x4 meters is not immediately noticed by the human eye. And to prevent birds from crashing into it, the cube is “wrapped” with infrared film, which birds, unlike humans, can see. The whole interior is made of birch plywood. In addition to a bedroom for two, there is a living room, a bathroom and even a roof terrace. There are other amazing apartments in the hotel: in the form of a UFO, a bird's nest or a dragonfly. For guests' convenience, a sauna for eight people is built in one of the trees.

8. MONTANA MAGICA LODGE (Chile, Neltume)

This magical mountain lodge is built in the Hilo-Huilo Biological Reserve. Externally the hotel looks like a volcano, overgrown with lush vegetation and constantly spewing water instead of lava. If it weren't for the window openings in several tiers, the conical structure would look like part of the forest landscape. A suspension bridge at the level of the middle part of the structure is the only way to get inside. Some windows offer views of the actual volcano, Mocho-Choshu-Enko. The rooms are equipped with bathtubs carved into a solid piece of wood.

9. ATTRAP'REVES MONTAGNAC (France, Haute Provence Alps)

Spending the night in a pine forest, lying on the grass and watching the starry sky is possible without the mandatory attributes of such an overnight stay, if you choose ATTRAP'REVES MONTAGNAC. Here, guests enjoy life in bubbles made of transparent elastic material that keeps out UV light during the day and protects from insects and dampness at night. The grass floor is a pleasant addition to the comfort. The shape of the bubbles is maintained by fresh air blown in by a small silent device. Cylindrical corridors lead to the interior of the rooms. At the end of the season the bubbles are deflated.

10. HOTEL DE VROUWE VAN STAVOREN

The hotel is located in the harbor of the Dutch town of Stavoren, but more than the view of yachts, guests are attracted by four rooms - in Swiss wine barrels. This is a real wine barrel hotel! Of course, it is built of ordinary materials and looks quite ordinary, but the rooms themselves are real barrels in which French Beaujolais wine from the local winery “Albada's” used to be stored and aged.

5 surprising facts about the Burj Khalifa skyscraper

1.The shape of Burj Khalifa is the shape of a flower
The Burj Khalifa skyscraper is a true masterpiece of engineering art. The shape of the building repeats the outline of the famous desert flower - Hymenocallis (or spider lily). Three “wings” are located around the central axis. Thanks to this architectural solution, all visitors to the skyscraper can enjoy a beautiful view of Dubai and the Arabian Gulf. If you look at Burj Khalifa from above, its shape resembles an onion dome - an element that is traditionally used in Islamic architecture.

2
At the top of the Burj Khalifa, the temperature is 6 degrees Celsius lower than on the first floor
The skyscraper is so tall that the air temperature at its top is significantly lower than on the ground. This is not the only world record of Burj Khalifa. Thus, on the 124th floor there is the highest observation deck in the world At The Top. You can get there by an elevator with the world's highest shaft or by the world's longest staircase, which leads to the 160th floor and has 2909 steps (only the skyscraper's technical staff is allowed to climb above the 125th floor).

3
It took nearly 26,000 hand-cut glass panels to clad the building
The area of the Burj Khalifa's exterior facade is the size of 17 soccer fields. To reflect direct sunlight, the building is clad with 26,000 hand-carved glass panels that can withstand the harsh desert climate. Interesting fact: it takes 3-4 months to completely wash the facade of the skyscraper.

4
Record after record
Burj Khalifa is often featured on wide screens. For example, in the movie “Mission Impossible: Phantom Protocol” Tom Cruise climbed the glass wall of the building. However, the first and so far the only person who managed to conquer the famous skyscraper in real life was the Frenchman Alain Robert, who jokingly calls himself “Spider-Man”. In 2011, Robert made the ascent, which took 6 hours, 13 minutes and 55 seconds. Alain's “track record” includes many famous skyscrapers, including the Empire State Building and Taipei 101. In addition, in April 2014, professional skydivers Fred Fugen and Vince Reffe set a world record by double skydiving from the top of the Burj Khalifa.

5
The highest art gallery in the world
Inside, the walls of the Burj Khalifa are decorated with works by over 85 artists from around the world. The corporate lobby features a sculpture by renowned Egyptian-born designer Karim Rashid titled “Evolvent”, which is an intersecting oval made of natural stone and a unique organic coating. In the residential building of the skyscraper there is a large-scale water installation by Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa - “Voices of the World”, which consists of 196 musical cymbals representing 196 countries.

This structure has become a kind of symbol of Nagoya.

8. Lanko-Grand Hyatt Hotel, Chongqing, China

It is the only building outside of New York and Chicago with more than a hundred floors.
