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.
