Hi everyone!
Having once again watched the magnificent, in my opinion, film "The Shining", based on the book of the cult writer, the king of horrors Stephen King, I thought about unusual hotels (of course, this article will not talk about such "unusual").
The questions arose how many of them are in the world and how unusual they are, whether they exist in our country and what is needed (and whether it is necessary at all) for an ordinary hotel to become unusual.
Let's think for a moment what rest means for you and me and what is necessary for it to be memorable in a hotel near Moscow? We need a room in which we will live, food (preferably included in the price, this is important for us), entertainment, such as billiards, bikes, a swimming pool, and so on, as a bonus beach and gazebos on the shore. Having said about the beach, of course I mean summer.
In any hotel of the Yakhonta chain you will find all of the above and even more.
But lately I began to notice that vacationers make more and more demands and complaints. In my opinion, all this is spoiled by foreign resorts. Favorite phrase: "For the same money, I can go to Turkey or Egypt, to a 4-5-star hotel, where there will be all inclusive and also the sea." Honestly, it's tempting to say: “What did you forget here then? If it's so bad here? " or “Man, why compare a candy with a cutlet? Come back to reality and look at things soberly! " All these resort countries live off tourism, it is developed there, I don’t know what, this train was launched a long time ago, unlike our country.
What can we say, the lion's share of the population loves innovation and unusualness) Crafts, barbershops, quest rooms (they are also performance quests, pedestrian quests, quests with the use of modern technologies, labyrinth quests, etc.), anti-cafes and much more are used wildly popular.
So, every area of \u200b\u200bour life is gradually changing, some people like it, some don't. Let's talk about the hotel business. How can she surprise us? Our Motherland is trying to keep up with modern trends and also boasts unusual hotels.
I present to your attention unusual hotels in Russia:
Hotel in the stadium
Yes, that's right) Hotel in the stadium. Kazan is a wonderful city, it offers to settle on the eastern stand of the Kazan Arena. For football fans, there is no better option. The windows of the room look directly onto the football field. The world, of course, is not surprised by this, since there are similar hotels in the USA, Canada, but this hotel was the first in Russia!)
Hotel at the Hermitage Museum
This hotel, of course, is not in the museum itself, but is a continuation of it. The hotel is located in St. Petersburg and amazes with the luxury of decoration. The number of rooms is designed in the Baroque and Rococo style, and the apartments will help you move to the residence of the Russian emperors, which provides an excellent opportunity to extend your acquaintance with the museum's collection.
And what is most interesting, this is the only hotel in the world that operates under the museum's brand. Here we definitely stood out) Nice, right?)
Hotel "Castle of Dreams"
The hotel is located in Domodedovo and the number of rooms, which has only 6 rooms, almost defies description. In truth, it looks like a castle from dreams (it's hard to even imagine who dreams of this). Everything is not as scary as you might think, but on the contrary, fabulous and unusual.
Here you can see the apartment, stylized as a sea monastery, the bed is made in the form of a huge white shell (sea shell, not a washbasin). And here's another room called Garage where the bed looks like a red convertible. And in the Heavens room you will sleep on a bed in the form of a fluffy cloud, the Hayloft room will surprise guests with a bed in the form of a cart in sunflowers. Sounds interesting)
Chamber hotel "Library"
This is my personal favorite! It is immediately clear that books are everywhere, you can read whatever you want for your own pleasure, and the cherry on the cake is that you can exchange your book for any of the "Library").
The numbers here are called "volumes" and are based on the motives of classical literature. There are not many rooms here, only 10 - you can find yourself in the work "The Master and Margarita", in the looking glass of "Alice in Wonderland", relax with "The Great Gatsby" or "Eugene Onegin", and also plunge into the summer with the work "Wine from Dandelions ".
Hotel-castle "Nesselbeck"
I decided to include this hotel in this selection because of its incredible atmosphere. Here you can truly visit the Middle Ages. "Nesselbek" is located near Kaliningrad.
How do you look at crossing seas and oceans and discovering what surprises there? Drove)
Marmara Hotel Antalya
This hotel is comfortably located in Turkey, on the Falaise cliffs. If you just come across it in the picture, then most likely you will think that this is the most ordinary Turkish hotel. But! This is the world's only revolving hotel. Falling asleep, you will admire the view of the pool, and when you wake up, you will have a beautiful view of the sea. But the surprises don't end there. The lower three floors are completely submerged.
Hotel "Balancing Barn"
This hotel is located in the UK and is rightfully included in the list of the most unusual hotels in the world. The length of the hotel is about 30 meters, 15 of which hang over the slope. The beauty of it is that the landscape changes as the plane tilts. At first, you admire nature from the ground level, which gradually reaches the level of the tree crowns.
Hotel "Magic Mountain"
The Chilean hotel resembles a gnome house or a volcano, which is covered with lush greenery, and a waterfall is rapidly descending from the top. One gets the feeling that this hotel was created by nature itself. You can only get to the hotel via a wooden suspended bridge. The rooms (13 in total) are named after the birds that live in the reserve, on the territory of which the hotel is located.
Hotel "Propeller Island City Lodge"
This hotel can be found in the German capital, Berlin. You will definitely not find two identical numbers here, each is a work of art. For example, one of the rooms is completely mirrored, and if you enter another, the floor is tilted there. Here (if you wish) you can spend the night in a real coffin or in a bed bolted to the ceiling. And if you want, you can stay in a room that is an exact replica of a prison cell. Thrill lover and those who think that life is boring and depressing exactly here)
Hotel "La Villa Hamster"
Left this hotel for last! I'm certainly not a particular connoisseur of France, but here the French really surprised me. This hotel has only one room. If you've ever wanted to feel like a hamster, then this is the most ideal option. In the room you will find a container with grain, a barrel of water, a bed, which can be climbed exclusively by an iron ladder that hangs in the air. The designers have thought through everything to the smallest detail, where have you seen a hamster who would not like to run in a wheel? So here it is, if you get bored you can run in it (even together). Well, to really feel like a hamster, so to speak, to be in his skin, upon arrival you will be given a hamster costume)
Everyone is looking for a vacation to their liking, and the modern world is doing everything possible for this. We are so different that it will really be a thrill for someone to live in a room stylized as a prison cell, someone to sleep in a bed-cart, but for someone to be a hamster (yes, this hamster hotel still does not let me go) ... But it is worth considering that "unusual" hotels for the most part take it by their uniqueness and atmosphere, and not by their service.
And even "ordinary" hotels try to keep up and please their guests with service, amenities and entertainment. Yakhonts are among them, we are developing, improving. Yes, Yakhonts cannot offer you rooms on a tree or underground, but it can offer you something else, no less important ... rest for the soul, in tranquility, surrounded by native nature and fresh air. I think it's worth a lot.
Learn new things, experiment, get better and never give up!

SeaventuresDiveResort: an oilman's dream
On the island of Sipadan in Malaysia, they thought of building a hotel on a former oil platform. In 1988, she went to a certain Susetta Harris as a gift. The businesswoman ennobled the tower as best she could, it was towed to the Sulawesi Sea and has since been used as a hotel for divers. Its peculiarity is complete solitude among the endless waters of the Indian Ocean. And here you can also dive under the water without leaving the hotel: it is enough to go down under the water by an elevator. The rooms in the hotel turned out to be cramped and the smell of oil has eaten forever, but there are always more than enough divers here: the underwater world, one might say, is underfoot.

Salar de Uyuni is known to be an important salt deposit in Bolivia and a famous tourist Mecca.

On the Pacific coast of California, the distinctive 23-hectare resort, Airstream, now features 20 mobile trailers with kitchens, dining facilities and all amenities.

Each tent is designed in ethnic style and contains dozens of unique handicrafts made by local artisans. Guests are offered to have fun not in bars, but on falconry, camel safari and archery exercises. Bedouins are Bedouins, but each tent has its own pool, and the hotel itself is a solid "five". Price

Unusual hotels in the world - bird's-eye view
Guests of the Arlau Amazon Towers make their way to their room over hanging bridges, because the hotel is a few wooden towers on the trunks of giant trees at a height of about 60 m above the ground. There is everything that a hotel should have: a restaurant, a conference room, a tower for newlyweds "Tarzan in Love", just all this - in the exotic atmosphere of the Amazonian jungle, where macaques jump, full of iguanas, colorful birds and even crocodiles are found. Among connoisseurs of natural beauty - wild bananas and orchids hanging from the window of the room - there are many celebrities who love unusual hotels, even politicians (Bill Clinton, for example). There are also similar apartments above ground in India: the Creek n Crag’s hotel has only two rooms made of bamboo and twine, but they are located on the territory of an old coffee plantation, in the middle of a wild forest, and the verandas overlook the watering hole of the “locals”.

The Crown Plaza Hotel & Conference Center is a real junction station, where guests are accommodated in decommissioned cars and business events are held, is included in the Register of National Historic Places (USA). In Indianapolis, the train station was once located in the downtown area, so sleeping cars on their own rail tracks are always in the spotlight and are not empty. Each rarity is named and decorated in honor of the 20th century celebrities - Charlie Chaplin, Winston Churchill, Cowell Porter, Jean Harlow. The piquancy is that the station lives its own life and still runs regular trains on schedule.
The unusual hotel still functions as a station. Photo 10bestmedia.com
Unusual hotels in the world - cave age
60 km from Granada (Spain) there is a complex of caves that have faithfully served people for more than 7 centuries. It used to be sheltered from the raids of Muslim armies, and nowadays 23 grottoes have been mastered by the Cuevas Pedro Antonio De Alarcón hotel. All his apartments are carved in clay rocks, and inside the caves there is always a pleasant coolness - regardless of the heat outside. It sounds austere, but the hotel has a swimming pool, solarium and jacuzzi. And nearby - the Sierra Nevada nature reserve, a medieval castle, a hippodrome. The hotel's closest twin brother is the Turkish Gamirasu in Cappadocia, built on the site of a Byzantine monastery with a thousand-year history. The difference is that the coolness in the rooms is created not by clay, but by rock from volcanic ash.
People have lived in these caves for over 700 years!

Yes, and all entertainment programs give a little bit of either fun madness or childhood: slides, trampolines, dry pools. And the owners themselves are professional animators and dreamers.
Proven: where avid travelers sleep
We asked the famous traveler, journalist and TV presenter Mikhail Kozhukhov to recall the most unusual hotels from his practice. And we caught him right after his return from a long trip to Central America. It is difficult to count how many hotels in the world he had to stay in during his practice (and the host of the projects "In Search of Adventures" and "Around the World" has been traveling the world for almost 30 years). However, the President of the Travel Club Mikhail Kozhukhov has the brightest memories of only two incredible places where he once had the good fortune to visit.
Mikhail Kozhukhov told us about the most, in his opinion, unusual hotels in the world
... in the castle of the Marquis de Carabas
The first is in France. There is such a department there, number 17, also known as Charente-Maritime, where the Marquis de Carabas once lived. The writer Charles Perrault once met him in Paris, and as a result, this nobleman became the prototype for the hero of the famous fairy tale "Mister Cat, or Puss in Boots". So the castle of this Carabas has been preserved, it stood for a long time without a state until one Italian family bought it and breathed life into it (private residential castle La Roche Courbon / Chateau de La Roche Courbon). There are several rooms equipped according to the standard of a five-star hotel. The only negative is there is no kitchen. And when you stay there for the night, the castle, that is, its fence, is locked, leaving the guests alone.
It so happened that I was there with Vladimir Krestovsky, the leader of the Uma Thurman group. This is an absolute fantasy - to feel like the master of the castle with all its dining rooms, huge tables, Marquis utensils, ghosts (there they have some kind of horse "grazing" at night). And the castle is absolutely real - with a moat, a park, a stone one, with spiral staircases and loopholes. Feelings are unusual, incredible. While this is not some crazy money at all, the price is available to anyone who can afford the very trip to France. It's silly to stay there for a week, and spending the night is a wonderful experience. And when morning comes, the gate opens and breakfast is brought in ... you almost feel like the Marquis de Carabas.

... in the edge of David Livingstone
In Zambia, Victoria Falls has a hotel called Sussi & Chuma. That was the name of the two natives who carried the malaria patient Livingstone (the famous African explorer, fighter against the slave trade, Dr. David Livingston, Scotsman Auth) and even then his body when the doctor died during the expedition. The hotel was built in the National Park on such high pillars, between which, in fact, under you, elephants walk, all sorts of birds fly. The monkeys are stealing your breakfast. The room is absolute comfort, downright outrageous: heated mattresses, copper washbasins and other attributes of luxury.
What shocked me most was that there was a book next to the bed, and in it a note and a mail envelope. This was a letter from the owners of the hotel as follows: Here is one of our all-time favorite books on Africa, we hope you enjoy it. If you do not have time to read it before the end of your stay at our hotel, please send it to us by mail in the envelope that is attached. It's so touching! The highest manifestation of customer focus. And it's expensive. But it’s impossible to save all your life on yourself, and this is the high cost that remains in your memory forever, and then throwing away some next broken TV you understand that you don’t feel sorry for the money spent, because emotions, impressions are with you forever.

Travel bloggers: travel 200 days a year
Orest Zub and Marta Trotsyuk are not looking for specially unusual hotels: they value comfort. However, the rich experience of travel is not complete without adventures, several special places still came across.
Couple travels for more than six months
Unusual hotels in the world -Africa and Japan
“We have recently visited East Africa, and the most unusual place to spend the night there was a small guesthouse in the National Park. Queen Elizabeth of Uganda. I was struck by the fact that we were immediately warned: at night, not a step out of the house, there are a lot of wild animals around, and the most dangerous are hippos, they come out of the water and rummage in search of food, often attack people. By the way, it is these animals that kill the most people in Africa, not lions or leopards. We saw one in the water, but we weren't really looking for adventure at night.
By chance, through the Airbnb resource, we ended up in an incredibly traditional room, like in a samurai movie. Such minimalism was not seen anywhere else: in the room there was only tatami (mats on the floor), a wardrobe built into the wall, from which mattresses for these tatami were pulled out, there was a sliding door, almost cardboard walls - that's all! "

Unusual Hotels of the World - Southeast Asia
“Many people dream of living in a wooden tree house by the beach and falling asleep to the sound of the surf. We also had such a dream, but after the first night in a Cambodian bungalow, we realized that it was not so romantic when biting mosquitoes fly through the huge cracks, the wind brings sand, and you have to go down to the ground in the toilet. After the second night in such Robinsonian conditions, we moved 200 meters from the beach to standard comfortable conditions.
Two years ago, they traveled to Taiwan and spent a week in a tea meditation center. This is such a gathering of people who idolize tea. For a week we woke up at dawn, meditated for an hour, had breakfast, then for three hours we had discussions about tea, in the evening again meditation and food (vegetarian). And once in Bali we lived for 3 weeks in the family's estate, which resembled a temple complex with many chapels. This typical middle-class family consisted of several dozen people, in the morning they brought us food and generally created complete comfort. But the feeling that we were living in a monastery did not leave ”.
In Cambodia, the conditions for recreation are quite Spartan. Photo flickr
Unusual Hotels of the World - South America
“Last year, on the road from Argentina to Chile, crossing the Andes, we stopped at the foot of Mount Aconcagua (the highest in the world outside the Himalayas, 6900 m above sea level). The only place to spend the night was the climbers' camp: a place where equipment is prepared and things are sorted out before the ascent. In the lowlands, we languished from the 40-degree heat, and here it was frost, we put on all our clothes, huddled together to keep warm, but what was next to us - the queen mountain, warmed us. By the way, the camp was located next to the climbers' cemetery, and the dead were regularly carried off the mountain ”.

History in the palm of your hand
Hotel "History" in Polyanitsa fully justifies its name: it is dedicated to different stages of development of our state, the concept provided for the recreation of the brightest pages of its history. Each hotel room is decorated according to a certain important period. So, for example, there are numbers "Tripoli", "Scythia", "Kievan Rus", "Princely", "Cossacks", "UPA".
In the wigwams
Indian village (Krasnik, Ivano-Frankivsk region) is a real North American Indian camp for those who, since childhood, dreamed of living in real teepee tents, like in a movie. Moreover, guests can go canoeing, fishing and American lunches, barbecue on an open fire and sit on primitive wooden furniture - hemp.
In Indian village you can feel like a real Indian
Transparent and vintage
Art Hotel has occupied the niche of sophistication and extravagance in the hotel business of Ukraine. It is located in a building constructed in the late 19th century, where one of the city's first cinemas once functioned. Films are available to guests to this day, just like jazz concerts in the improvisation restaurant. The rooms are located in the attic and their ceilings are transparent, so it is always light here during the day and romantic at night.
Ethno style
Unusual hotels in Ukraine come across even among the clear fields: for example, the unique complex of rural green tourism "Frumushika-Nova" is located right in the steppes of the Odessa region. People come here to take a break from the noisy city and annoying infrastructure, as well as live in eco-huts, like the Bessarabian villagers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and get acquainted with the ethnographic museum on the territory of the complex (like the capital "Pirogov"). There are stylized houses of a hunter, gamekeeper, fisherman, and also a sheep farm and natural sheep's cheeses (they say, one of the largest in Europe).
There are cozy little houses in the Frumushika-Nova complex. Photo frumushika.com

The hotel is almost entirely composed of ice and snow and fits perfectly into the Norwegian landscape. Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel is one of the most beautiful and unique hotels in the world. It is built every autumn, and in January it opens its doors to visitors. In summer the hotel melts and everything starts from the beginning.
Temperatures at this 30-room Igloo Hotel hover around 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 degrees Celsius) and guests must wrap themselves in blankets and reindeer furs to stay warm. The hotel is close to the Alta River and boasts its saunas, hot tubs and other spa treatments. This is probably the most amazing hotel imaginable.
2. Montaña Mágica Lodge, Chile
In the form of an anthill, the Chilean hotel allows visitors to feel like they are part of the forest. Montaña Mágica Lodge is very organic and actually merges with the environment, a waterfall falls from the top of the building, which adds even more appeal to the building. All furniture is carved from various trees that create incredible coziness.
However, despite its natural appearance, the 13-room abode provides a range of modern amenities such as a sauna, jacuzzi, bar and golf course.
You can explore the interior of this "anthill" by watching this video:
3. Arte Luise Kunsthotel, Germany
Located in Berlin, this hotel is a sanctuary for art lovers and tourists alike. Each of the 50 rooms was created by a specific artist or designer.
Another plus is that the Arte Luise Kunsthotel offers its rooms at surprisingly reasonable prices. And since each room has been designed in a different style, you can book a room based on your own artistic preferences.
The artists who worked on the Arte Luise Kunshotel were given full creative control over the entire process. They chose everything from style to furniture and decorations. This explains such a variety of images and the lack of a single style. Some rooms are designed in a simple, classic style with black and white vertical stripes on the walls.
Others offer to admire the beautiful fairy-tale landscapes. But in a room designed by Thomas Baumgartel, we can see images of bananas painted on the walls and the bed.
4. Sala Silvermine Hostel, Sweden
In the mines near the small town of Sala, you can find the deepest underground hotel in the world, more than 150 meters underground.
Similar to the Mines of Moria from The Lord of the Rings, this hotel offers guests the most minimalist rooms imaginable.
Also, here you can visit a tour of the underground mines, where rooms are being built. Mine Lux provides guests with the best rooms with free wine and cheeses, but even here we see the minimum amount of furniture, each room has only one bed and two armchairs.
If you decide to visit this wonderful place, be sure to bring a warm jacket, because the air temperature in the mines is between 2-18 degrees Celsius.
5. Nhow Berlin, Germany
Modern, futuristic, trendy, bright - this is how another German hotel can be described. Designed by Sergei Choban, it was created as a home for musicians, although any guest will appreciate the beautiful colors, textures and modern design elements.
Nhow Berlin provides a range of extraordinary services, including free Gibson guitar or Casio keys delivered to your room! Musically sophisticated hotel guests will surely enjoy the radio with hundreds of radio stations. The hotel also houses two recording studios and an art gallery.
Nhow provides the ideal environment for composing music. This hotel is a musician's paradise!
6.Treehotel, Sweden
Located in the Harads forest, near the Lule River, the Treehotel has fewer than ten rooms, but each is unique. All rooms are located at least 3 meters from the ground.
While some of the rooms are still under construction, those that are already built are amazingly beautiful and mesmerizing. "Bird's Nest" - a hanging room in the shape of a cube, covered with various shelves and branches, easily explains its name.
The Mirror Cube, perhaps the most impressive hotel room, is a square box covered in mirrors. The structure reflects the forest in which it is located, and at a certain angle, the illusion is created that there is no cube at all. Inside the room, quite spacious and simple interior emphasizes the beautiful view outside the window.
Also in this hotel there are rooms called "UFO", "Blue Cone", "Dragonfly" and "Cabin". Most rooms can only be climbed by rope or metal ladders.
7. Barin Ski Resort, Iran
If you ask visitors to describe Barin Ski Resort with just one word, the answer is "white". This ski resort, which is located near Shemshak in Iran, was built in 2008.
When deciding where to go to rest, people often spend a lot of time looking for a hotel. It should be at the same time comfortable, convenient, with affordable prices, with good plumbing, clean sheets and different from the previous "Hiltons" and "Hayats", in which everyone has once stayed. Sometimes some places are worth visiting because of the hotel.
If you love pets, especially dogs, then this hotel in Idaho, USA is definitely for you. The building of this funny hotel is built in the shape of a dog, and the entire interior is also dedicated to the "dog" theme. A group of creative wood carvers worked to create this curious atmosphere. The food here, however, is much better than the dogs, and the windows offer picturesque views of the mountains and the surrounding area.
At an altitude of 1,700 meters above sea level, in the village of Les Cerniers, in the Swiss Alps, there is a high-tech ecological camping - Hotel Whitepod. On the territory of this heavenly place, you will be offered to relax not only with your soul, but also with your body, taking part in ski expeditions.
