Strange Hotels of the World

🌍 Strange Hotels of the World

Tired of normal hotels? Here are five places where a night’s sleep is an adventure.
🧊 THE ICE HOTEL, Sweden. Every winter, artists build this hotel from snow and ice from the river. The temperature in the rooms is minus five degrees, so guests sleep in thick sleeping bags on beds covered with reindeer skins. In spring, the whole hotel melts back into the river. Then they rebuild it, with a new design, the next winter.
🌳 THE TREEHOTEL, Sweden. Six metres above the ground in a forest, you can sleep in a giant bird’s nest, a UFO or a mirror cube. The mirror cube is almost invisible because it reflects the trees. Birds sometimes fly into it, so the walls have a special film that birds can see.
🐠 THE UNDERWATER ROOM, the Maldives. This bedroom is five metres under the Indian Ocean. The walls and ceiling are glass, so you can watch fish, turtles and sharks from your bed. A night costs more than £10,000.
💊 CAPSULE HOTELS, Japan. Each “room” is a plastic box: two metres long and one metre high. You can’t stand up, but there is a light, a TV and a curtain. They are cheap and popular with business people who miss the last train home.
🐶 THE DOG BARK PARK INN, USA. Here you sleep inside a giant wooden dog called Sweet Willy. Your room is in his body, and you can sit in his head and look out of his eyes.
