Are you going on holiday soon and are you looking for something different? In this article an overview of a number of unusual, special and bizarre hotels and places to sleep, for those who want something different.
Many people are busy planning vacation. For many, this means:booking a bungalow or securing a spot on the campsite. Some people prefer a hostel, hotel or a house with a jacuzzi in the Veluwe.
But why settle for a three or perhaps four star hotel? Why not something completely different? This includes a night in an ice hotel, sleeping in a church, an overnight stay in a real wine barrel or just staying overnight in a real underwater hotel. All this is possible (if you have enough money). Be sure to take a look at tovernachting.nl if you are looking for a special place to sleep in the Netherlands.
Have you always been an avid lover of ice and snow? Then the next hotel is definitely worth a try:the ice hotel in Swedish Lapland. It is a unique hotel made of several thousand tons of ice and snow, with a constant temperature of -5°C. The hotel is rebuilt every year, when winter falls in Swedish Lapland. This means that the hotel also looks different every year, because various ice artists are used.
Rooms have special designs and themes. The guests sleep on a bed of ice, in a special thermal sleeping bag. To warm up in the morning, guests are served a cup of hot juice in bed. Prices depend on the room and the arrival date; prices from 130 Euro p.p. per night
Ever dreamed of sleeping in a tree house as a child? In India you can make your dream come true:a bizarre hotel in the shape of a tree house in the middle of the tropical rainforests of India. Very luxurious tree houses have been made at a height of almost 30 meters, with running water, telephone, a bath and a suspension bridge. Enjoying all the luxury, surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna, this must be a very special experience for the guests. Prices start at $200 per night, per tree house for 2 people.
For lovers of the underwater world:sleep in the Poseidon Underwater Resort! A bizarre hotel, where one sleeps at a depth of 13 meters below the sea surface under a glass dome, surrounded by the clear blue waters of the Fiji Lagoon. There are some nice attractions for the guests:at the touch of a button you can feed the fish and in the evening you can illuminate part of the water, so that you can also enjoy a spectacular view in the evening. The price is around 1000 Euro.
Do you still want to enjoy a night between the fish and is the aforementioned Poseidon Ressort a bit too pricey for you? Then you can always visit the Dolfinarium in Harderwijk (especially for children). Price of a night's sleep with the dolphins is 132.50 Euro.
A special and equally bizarre hotel:The Capsule Inn in Japan has found a playful way to let people enjoy a night's sleep:they do not have separate rooms for their guests, but simple capsules with a glass door in front, which only contain a bed. is. You slide into the bed and can enjoy a good night's sleep (although…? Not for people with claustrophobia). There is a built-in TV screen so you don't have to get bored. It is a fairly cheap way to spend the night:price from $23 per night.
Sleeping in a plastic cage not for you? Do you want it a little wider? Then opt for a night in a real sewer pipe in Austria. The pipe is equipped with a bed, bedside table, electricity and a small window for a bit of daylight. Bizarre enjoyment of a night's sleep… The price also has a smell:a night easily costs 100 Euro per person.
Every little boy's dream:to take a peek inside the cockpit of an airplane! In Sweden you can not only take a look, you can even sleep in it. The plane, an old Boeing 747, is furnished with beds that can be rented per night. For more luxury and a private room, you should take the cockpit, which is also equipped with all kinds of luxuries such as a private bathroom and a view of the airport. Prices start at about $30.
In their own country they have also found a special way to spend the night:sleeping in an old wine barrel. The old wine barrels have been converted into real hotel rooms, including television, bed and shower. Let's just hope that people wake up the next day without a hangover. Prices start from 52 Euro, where you qualify for a discount for multiple nights.
The ideal hotel for those who are not afraid of heights:the crane hotel in Harlingen. A real room has been set up in the tap. Nice detail:you determine the view yourself by operating the tap. In any case, it is a way to enjoy undisturbed, because the chance that you will be disturbed at that height is very small. The price is between 150-175 Euros including breakfast and dinner.
Soon it will also be possible to spend a night in space. For those who want to look at the earth from a different angle. Unfortunately, the prices will be on the high side for most of us, but perhaps there is still a sugar daddy somewhere with a sloppy 1,000,000 Euros per night, then you can still reserve your spot in the space hotel.
