The most unusual wanted in the world. The strangest hotels in the world. The narrowest unique hotel Hotel Molinos in the world

During our last trip to St. Petersburg, we talked a lot with the managers of large and mini hotels about how the hotel business works in our country. Almost every one of them said that in St. Petersburg there is very serious competition among hotels, but in Moscow, everything is completely different - there are not enough hotels and even the worst hotel in a residential area is almost always full.

With the help of you and the online hotel booking service, we tried to find regular hotels in Moscow. Yes, there are fewer such hotels in the capital than in St. Petersburg, but they still exist :). Let's look at them together...

Be sure to read the post to the very end and then you will find out how to get a discount in 7% , when booking any hotel (applies not only to hotels in Moscow, but throughout the world!) on !

(Total 53 photos)

: Open room rates from 6,500 rubles to 12,500 rubles. When ordering through Ostrovok.ru, room rates start from 4,500 rubles.

1. This small boutique hotel is located in one of the side streets near the Mayakovskaya metro station, a 3-minute walk from Tverskaya Street. It opened in 2009, in a mansion that was rebuilt from scratch in the image and likeness of Chenonceau Castle in France.

2. The hotel has only 9 very cozy rooms, 4 categories (Suite, Junior Suite, Standard, Single)

3. In the corridors hang paintings brought from France, fresh flowers - everything is quiet and calm. Such quiet corners in the very center of Moscow you still need to look.

4. The rooms have free tea and coffee, all bath amenities, including bathrobes and slippers.

5. Yes, the hotel itself is ideal for celebrating weddings or some small special events. At least all the conditions for this have been created: there is a cozy indoor courtyard and a chic restaurant... and of course a stunning honeymoon room with champagne, a fruit basket from the hotel and late check-out.

6. Breakfast is not included in the room price and costs 600 rubles. If you don’t want to eat at the hotel, there are plenty of caffeine shops and restaurants of all stripes around. It's hard to go hungry in this area :).

7. By the way, the hotel positions itself as non-smoking. Wi-Fi throughout the hotel is free and quite fast.

8. We weren’t able to try anything in the restaurant, since it was being prepared for a banquet, but of course everything looks very “expensive and rich” :).

9. We visited Chenonosseau in March, when there was still snow. But judging by the stories and some photographs, the courtyard in summer turns into a small cozy garden with a fountain and an air cafe. You'll definitely have to check it out on a summer Saturday evening :).
One of the small nuances is that the hotel does not have its own parking lot, so on weekdays it can be problematic to leave your car.

: Open room rates from 6080 rubles. When ordering through Ostrovok.ru, room rates start from 4,400 rubles.

10. To be honest, when we went to this hotel, we imagined a kind of “scoop” with sullen receptionists and slightly shabby walls. There also had to be a decanter with cut glasses in the room. I don’t know where we picked up such associations, but in fact the hotel pleasantly surprised us.

11. The hotel opened, it’s scary to imagine, already in 1952. Now it has 108 rooms, 6 categories.

12. You can immediately see how rich its history is. This is how you check into your room, lie down on the bed, and Chuck Norris himself might be sleeping on it :).

13. Many of you have probably seen the building itself, if not live, then in the movies. By the way, historical films are still often shot here, because the surroundings of many rooms most accurately convey the spirit of that time.

14. Inside there are quite a few different cafes, billiard rooms, restaurants and just secluded corners where you can either talk with guests or just plunge into the era of your grandparents.

15. The rooms struck us first of all with the height of their ceilings. 3.70 and above is truly impressive! All windows face either the courtyard or a quiet street.

16. The parquet, as we were told, remains from those times and is regularly polished by specially trained people. The hotel also has an Art Gallery.

17. All rooms have all kinds of bath amenities, free Wi-Fi and tea, coffee and water. There is also excellent parking available for all guests.

18. The interior certainly looks grandiose. To preserve and maintain the historical image, the hotel employs a group of restorers. Moreover, this is not an empty phrase, the condition of the hotel is truly amazing.

19. We liked this table. It’s immediately clear that big things were once decided upon by him :).

20. At one time, in Moscow, in such hotels it was fashionable to rent out some rooms for offices. Naturally, this caused some inconvenience to the guests. At the Sovetsky Hotel, all rooms are now used exclusively for their intended purpose.

21. By the way, you can get a club suite as a gift from the hotel. To do this, you just need to celebrate the wedding in local restaurant:). And the phone in the photo, by the way, is working - checked.

22. Breakfast is included in the price of all room categories.

23. In the evening, the hotel plays live music - harp or piano.

24. A restaurant where shows are held every evening.

: Open room rates from 550 rubles. When ordering through Ostrovok.ru, room rates start from 550 rubles.

25. Hostel Fabrika is probably located in the very center of modern Moscow culture - on Red October. Still, this is a unique opportunity to live for just 500 rubles per day, just 7 minutes on foot from the Kremlin.

26. In total, the hostel, which has been operating for a whole year, has 14 rooms of 4 categories (2, 4, 6 and 8 people).

27. The atmosphere there is relaxed and even a little creative. On the day of our shooting, a whole KVN team lived in the hostel, which held their rehearsals right there :).

28. Inside there is everything for a fulfilling student life :). Free Wi-Fi, TV, microwave, refrigerator - in general, a kind of student paradise :). By the way, there is even a known case when a young man from America met a girl from somewhere in Siberia in this hostel, and the other day they got married.. oh how! :).

29. There are also double rooms with amenities right in the room.

30. The interior of the Factory was designed by young artists, so in some places it turned out informal and daring.

: Open room rates from 3,200 rubles. When ordering through Ostrovok.ru, room rates start from 2800 rubles.

31. The hotel is located next to Red Square, on Teatralny Proezd. It was opened by a group of designers, artists and actors in the summer of 2009.

32. A total of 23 numbers of 4 categories were discovered.

33. The hotel occupies the third floor of the unique historical and architectural ensemble of the Chinese baths of the merchant Khludov, built in 1891. And on the second floor there is a cafe - the theater club of Alexei Paperny “Workshop”. A small caveat: apparently on Fridays and Saturdays some hotel rooms can be a little noisy.

34. Design rooms are the pride of the hotel. They were painted by famous Argentine artists.

35. The rooms have all bath amenities except bathrobes and slippers.

36. Breakfast is included in the room price, but quite simple.

37. I was very pleased with the design of all the rooms that I managed to see - lively and unusual.

38. Some rooms without windows, however, are cheaper.

39. The corridors are twilight and you can just feel a certain mystery.

40. It’s been a while since we rode such elevators :)

I: The open price of rooms in a hostel is from 700 rubles, and in a hotel from 3200 rubles. When ordering through Ostrovok.ru, the cost of rooms is from 600 rubles and 3000 rubles.

41. Hostel and Hotel Basilica are located in a quiet side street near the Kitay-Gorod metro station. The short distance from the metro (20 minutes on foot) is probably the only controversial point.

42. There are a total of 14 rooms of 3 categories (2, 4 and 6 people)

43. Honestly, this is the first time in hostels that we have seen such spacious and clean rooms. You can’t even tell that the hostel is already more than 2 years old :).

44. All amenities are in decent condition. By the way, shower accessories are included in the room price (not so often the case in hostels).

45. There is a kitchen with a microwave, TV, and of course free Wi-Fi. If you wish, you can order a simple breakfast in your room for 200 rubles.

46. ​​Internal closed courtyard; in the summer, a tent is erected here, where exhibitions, picnics, etc. are held.

47. Well, this is a room at the Basilica Hotel, which is located in the next building. There are 11 rooms in total (standards and suites), costing from 3,000 to 4,000 rubles.

: Open room rates from 2900 rubles. When ordering through Ostrovok.ru, room rates start from 2,400 rubles.

48. This small hotel (12 rooms, standard and comfort) is ideal for those who come to Moscow on business in the area of ​​Warsaw or Kashirskoe highway. If you plan to walk in the center, then this option will probably not be very convenient.

49. The hotel is young (only a year old), in a quiet residential area. To be honest, we expected a little more connection between the hotel's design and its name, but... In general, an ordinary, good hotel in a quiet area.

50. Such a tree grows there.

51. Kitchen with stove, microwave, refrigerator, kettle, etc. - everything is free. If you wish, you can order breakfast in your room for 400 rubles. Here you need to understand that in this area there are no coffee shops and restaurants on every corner, so such a kitchen can be very useful.

52. Comfort differs from the standard in its larger area, the furniture is a little better and the TV is a little larger:). The rooms have all bath accessories except bathrobes.

53. Yes, by the way, the hotel positions itself as “non-smoking”, but there is a “smoking room” inside the hotel. Wi-Fi is free in the rooms.

Hotels in huge barrels and potatoes, in former prisons and on offshore platforms. A selection of unusual business ideas for hotels and holiday homes that have appeared in Russia and around the world recently.

The tourism business, especially in Russia, can be developed in almost any territory. Indeed, in most regions of our country this niche is not occupied. In the hotel business, it has become important to be able to surprise guests. And it’s possible to surprise with something original and memorable. Thanks to a unique idea, a hotel can attract not only a huge number of tourists, but also media attention.

How to surprise tourists today? According to Airbnb service, a new trend in 2019 will be holidays in small houses in nature, as the trend for holidays in the glamping style, that is, “all inclusive” in nature, is rapidly growing. An increase in demand is predicted for the rental of farms and shepherd's wagons and barns - far from the city and in a picturesque location. Today tourists appreciate the atmosphere, unusual design, and clear concept. Modern hotels are not only a place to stay, but also entertainment. Because spending a vacation in a wine barrel or a flying saucer is a real adventure.

To stay on top of hotel business trends, you can read a selection of 13 unusual ideas hotels 2019.

Inspired by the popularity of nomadic travel, Spanish architecture studio In Tenta has designed a prefab cabin. You can take it with you on a trailer - and quickly assemble it wherever you want. An advanced version of a tourist tent, which is suitable for those who want to spend an outdoor holiday.

The modular house takes up only 18.5 sq.m., and the kit includes everything you need for quick assembly. According to the developers, the project is aimed at clients who love to travel, but do not want to stay in simple hotels. Mobility and environmental friendliness are the two main criteria of these modular houses.

In Tenta offers 2 versions of mini-houses, designed for a couple or a family of four. All prefabricated houses are equipped with a wall-mounted kitchen, a sofa bed for the living room, a double bed, a bathroom and a shower.

The idea of ​​this architectural solution is unity with nature. The authors of the project believe that the future of tourism and the hotel business will be built on the relationship between man and nature. That's why Studio Peter Pichler designed houses with pointed roofs that follow the shape of the surrounding coniferous trees and look like part of the forest landscape.

The project was called “Tree House” and was built in a mountain forest in northern Italy. Such houses range from 35 to 45 sq.m. There are two levels: on the lower level there is a relaxation area and a bathroom, and on the second floor there is a sleeping area with beds, which offers views of the mountains.

The project also supports the idea of ​​environmental friendliness: each house is equipped with a reservoir for collecting and reusing rainwater, as well as geothermal heat pumps for heating.

Hotel for sausage lovers

Wallpaper “in a sausage”, a sausage instead of a chandelier, pillows and soap. This is what a hotel looks like in the Bavarian town of Rittersbach. An unusual hotel was opened by a butcher who makes the famous Bratwurst sausages. The room rate includes breakfast - and there is no need to explain what the menu is.

The hotel is small - only seven rooms. Each is decorated in the signature sausage style. Moreover, each room has its own design. In one of the rooms the walls are decorated with photographs of canned sausages from different countries. The hotel owner expands his photo collection with the help of his guests. Other rooms have detailed description sausage production or recipes various types sausages.

Guests are not only entertained by the creative design, but also interesting events. For example, you can personally cook the famous sausages, taste deli meats, and even attend seminars where they talk about the art of cooking traditional dish. And when the time comes to leave, buy sausages for the trip in a company store.

The interactive complex “Guardian of the Empire” has opened in Alushta, which is a high-tech art object, museum and hotel. The atmosphere of the hotel completely transports visitors to cosmic reality. Instead of rooms there are themed cabins. Instead of a regular bar - a space one. The interior design uses fantastic pieces. Precise detailing imitates a spaceship, and passing planets can be seen through the windows.

Also on the hotel territory there are various training equipment and simulators, its own space garden, as well as a museum where the exhibits include meteorites and planetary soil samples, spacesuits, fantastic weapons, etc. Visitors have access to 3D virtual tours, where they can control a spaceship or take part in space battles.

The idea for this hotel came about by accident. At first, Raymond Yazbek, a native of Lebanon, simply wanted to update his home. But the renovation was so exciting that it turned into a hotel. This transformation took 14 years.

The house is located in the village of Remala. Here the owner welcomes guests from all over the world and gives tours of rooms filled with vintage items, quirky items and crafts. The hotel has about 3,000 interesting exhibits that were collected over 30 years. Among them are wall clocks, deer antlers, shells, antiques and handmade items. The owner spent about two million dollars on all this.

To visit an unusual hotel, tourists sign up for a waiting list many months in advance. Many come simply to see the rooms with their own eyes. In general, this small hotel is popular, and one night in such a room costs 75-300 dollars.

Purcari Winery in Moldova offers visitors to spend the night in a barrel. Room area – 30 sq.m. There are all amenities inside: bathroom, shower, air conditioning, TV. The round windows offer a picturesque view.

Another barrel-shaped hotel called De Vrouwe van Stavoren operates in Holland. This great option holiday for connoisseurs of French wine. After all, the barrels from which the rooms are made were previously used to store French Beaujolais wine. The volume of one barrel is 14,500 liters. The room contains all the necessary furniture, TV, bathroom and shower. Hotel guests are invited to ride a bike around the province, enjoy the surrounding scenery and, of course, drink wine. Wine apartments start at $150 per night.

In honor of the Barbie doll's anniversary (and she just turned 60!), a hotel in Mexico is preparing themed rooms. Every element here is made in Barbie style: the lobby, stairs, room and even the bathroom. All in pink, of course. But the concept is not limited to just the design. Guests will be able to try a special puppet menu. A daily trip to the world of Barbie will cost visitors $189.

Hotel made from used cars

One Mexican man named Ramon Franco collected old cars and airplanes as a hobby. And then he built an unusual hotel in them. Now anyone can spend the night inside the body or side of an aircraft.

Those who like to tickle their nerves can spend the night in rooms that used to be prison cells. Both authentic mini-hotels and luxurious five-star hotels are opening on the site of abandoned prisons. Most of them have managed to maintain a prison feel with narrow corridors and small cells. This practice of using abandoned and disbanded prisons is popular all over the world. You can spend the night in a prison hotel in the USA, Germany, Turkey, Finland, Canada and other countries.

Now Japan will follow a similar practice, where the oldest correctional facility, Nara, is going to be converted into a five-star hotel. One of the main reasons for this decision is the beauty of the building itself. Nara Prison is like a real palace and embodies the style of Meiji era architecture.

But in Montenegro they are going to turn the Mamula prison fortress into a hotel. More than 2,000 people were once imprisoned within the walls of the fortress on the island of Lastavica, and during the Second World War hundreds of prisoners were tortured and killed here.

On one of the American farms in Boise, Idaho, a huge potato “grew”. It weighs about 6 tons and is made of wood. It was made about 7 years ago for a farmer's festival, and she couldn't find it. worthy use We could only now. Now it's a hotel.

A huge potato 8.5 meters long fits a bed, a couple of chairs, a table, a bathroom, and also has air conditioning and a fireplace. The hotel is open all year round and is popular among tourists. To stay in a potato room you will have to stand in line and pay $200 per night.

An unusual forest hotel for Tolkien fans has opened in Mozhaisk near Moscow. The rooms look like hobbit houses. Each home has its own hero. For example, there is the house of Tsvetunya or the carpenter Bob Wetkins.

They also plan to open a hobbit tavern, where they will prepare dishes based on recipes from Middle-earth cuisine. Festivals based on Tolkien's works will be held on site. You can live in a hobbit house for 4,000 rubles per day.

Hotel on a sea platform

Architect Margo Krasoevich proposed a project for a lighthouse hotel, which will be located near the coast South Korea near Jeju Island. The hotel with a futuristic look, as conceived by the author, has turbine units that generate electricity from sea waves.

Hello everyone!

Having once again watched the magnificent, in my opinion, film “The Shining”, based on the book by the cult writer, the king of horror Stephen King, I started thinking about unusual hotels (of course, this article will not talk about such “unusuals”).

Questions arose about how many there are in the world and how unusual they are, whether they exist in our country and what is needed (and whether it is needed at all) for an ordinary hotel to become unusual.

Let's think for a moment what vacation means to you and me and what is needed to make it 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, a beach and gazebos on the shore. When I say about the beach, I obviously mean summer.

In any hotel of the Yakhonta chain you will find everything listed and even more.

But recently I began to notice that vacationers are making more and more demands and complaints. In my opinion, all this is spoiling by foreign resorts. Favorite phrase: “For the same money, I can go to Turkey or Egypt, to a 4-5 star hotel, where it will be all inclusive and also the sea.” Honestly, I’m tempted to say: “What did you forget here then? If it's so bad here? or “Dude, why compare candy with a cutlet? Come back to reality and look at things soberly!” All these resort countries they live off tourism, it is developed there, I don’t know what, this train was launched a very long time ago, unlike our country.

What can we say, the lion's share of the population loves innovations and unusual things) Crafts, barbershops, quest rooms (also known as performance quests, walking quests, quests using modern technologies, labyrinth quests, etc.), anti-cafes and much more are used wildly popular.

So, every area of ​​our life is gradually changing, some like it, others not so much. Let's talk about the hotel business. How can she surprise us? Our Motherland tries to keep up with modern trends and also boasts unusual hotels.

I present to your attention unusual hotels in Russia:

Hotel at the stadium

Yes, that's right) Hotel at the stadium. Kazan is a wonderful city; it offers accommodation on the eastern stand of the Kazan Arena. For football lovers best option can't be found. The room's windows overlook the football field. The world, of course, is not surprised by this, since there are similar hotels in the USA and Canada, but in Russia this hotel was the first!)

Hotel at the Hermitage Museum

This hotel, of course, is not located in the museum itself, but is a continuation of it. The hotel is located in St. Petersburg and amazes with its luxurious design. The number of rooms is designed in Baroque and Rococo style, and the apartments will help you transport yourself to the residences of Russian emperors, which provides an excellent opportunity to extend your acquaintance with the museum’s collection.

And what’s most interesting is that this is the only hotel in the world operating under the museum brand. This is where we definitely stood out) It’s nice, isn’t it?)

Hotel "Castle of Dreams"

The hotel is located in Domodedovo and the number of rooms, which has only 6 rooms, is almost beyond description. It really looks like a castle from a dream (it’s hard to even imagine who dreams of this). Everything is not as scary as you might have thought, but on the contrary, fabulous and unusual.

Here you can see apartments stylized as a seaside abode; the bed is made in the form of a huge white shell (a seashell, not a washbasin). And here's another room called "Garage", where the bed looks like a red convertible. In the “Heaven” room you will sleep on a bed in the shape of a fluffy cloud; in the “Hayloft” room you will surprise guests with a bed in the shape of a cart in sunflowers. Sounds interesting)

Chamber hotel "Library"

This is my personal favorite! It’s immediately clear that books are everywhere here, you can read whatever you want for pleasure, and the icing on the cake is that you can exchange your book for any one from the “Library”).

The numbers here are called “volumes” and are inspired by classical literature. There are not many rooms here, only 10 - you can find yourself in the work “The Master and Margarita”, through the looking glass of “Alice in Wonderland”, relax with “The Great Gatsby” or “Eugene Onegin”, and also plunge into summer with the work “Dandelion Wine” "

Castle Hotel Nesselbeck

I decided to include this hotel in this selection because of its incredible atmosphere. Here you can truly visit the Middle Ages. Nesselbeck is located near Kaliningrad.

How do you feel about crossing the seas and oceans and finding out what surprises there? Let's go)

Marmara Hotel Antalya

This hotel is comfortably located in Turkey, on the Falaise rocks. If you just see it in a picture, then most likely you will think that this is the most ordinary Turkish hotel. But! This is the only revolving hotel in the world. While falling asleep you will admire the view of the pool, and when you wake up it will open in front of you beautiful view at sea. But the surprises don't end there. The three lower floors are completely submerged in water.

Balancing Barn Hotel

This hotel is located in the UK and is rightfully included in the list of the most unusual hotels peace. The length of the hotel is about 30 meters, 15 of which hang over the slope. Its beauty is that the landscape changes as the plane tilts. 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's house or a volcano, which is covered with lush green plants, and a waterfall rapidly descends from the top. One gets the feeling that this hotel was created by nature itself. You can only get to the hotel via a suspended wooden 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.

Propeller Island City Lodge

This hotel can be found in the capital of Germany, Berlin. You definitely won’t find two identical rooms here, each is a work of art. For example, one of the rooms is completely mirrored, but when you go into another, the floor there is inclined. Here (if you so desire) you can spend the night in a real coffin or in a bed screwed to the ceiling. And if you want, you can stay in a room that is an exact replica of a prison cell. Thrill-seekers and those who think that life is boring and dull are definitely here)

Hotel La Villa Hamster

I saved this hotel for last! Of course, I’m not a special connoisseur of France, but the French really surprised me here. There is only one room in this hotel. If you've ever wanted to feel like a hamster, then this is the perfect option. In the room you will find a container with grain, a barrel of water, a bed, which can only be climbed using an iron ladder that hangs in the air. The designers thought through everything to the smallest detail, where have you seen a hamster that doesn’t like to run around in a wheel? So here it is, if you get bored you can run around in it (even together). Well, to really feel like a hamster, to be in his shoes, so to speak, upon arrival you will be given a hamster costume)

Everyone is looking for a holiday to suit their taste, and modern world does everything possible for this. We are so different that some people will really enjoy living in a room stylized as a prison cell, some will sleep in a cart bed, and some will really enjoy being a hamster (yes, this hamster hotel still haunts me) . But it’s worth considering that “unusual” hotels are mostly chosen for their unusualness and atmosphere, and not for 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 and improving. Yes, Yakhonty cannot offer you rooms in a tree or underground, but it can offer something else, no less important...rest for the soul, in peace, surrounded by native nature and fresh air. I think it's worth a lot.

Learn new things, experiment, become better and never give up!

For many of us, the word “hotel” is associated only with a place where they provide overnight accommodation and meals for a certain fee. However, today a new conceptual direction has emerged - hotels that are also attractions. These are completely unique “places to stay” underwater, in a mountain gorge, on a tree or on a vintage train.

Today we will visit ten of the strangest and most unusual hotels in the world.

Japanese people are known to be minimalists. And this one characteristic feature Their character was manifested in the creation of Capsule Inn Akihabara - a capsule hotel where guests spend the night in special cells, which are located in two rows above each other.

Each 2.11 m cell is equipped with a bed, hanging TV and radio. This capsule is very similar to a sleeping place on top shelf on the train. There is a separate place in the locker for shoes and things; shared bathroom.

Such hotels have existed in the Land of the Rising Sun for quite a long time - since the late 70s of the last century and, as you might guess, not because of a good life. However, capsule hotels are still popular among the Japanese.

A couple of hundred kilometers from Arctic Circle, in Sweden, there is a small populated area Yukkasjärvi, which is famous for its Hotel The Ice Hotel, built from ice and snow. Artists have to work on it every year, each time re-erecting this unique building.

Everything here looks like a palace Snow Queen: in this hotel they sit in ice chairs, sleep on ice beds covered with real reindeer skins, protecting themselves from the cold with sleeping bags, thermal underwear and warm hats.

But it never gets too cold here: they say that the temperature does not drop below -7 °C. This project is already 20 years old, and every spring, when the ice house melts, tourists live in comfortable wooden chalets and spend most of their time fishing in the local river.

For lovers of heat and those who dreamed of becoming Tarzan or his beloved Jane as a child, there is a corner on earth where they can plunge into the world of romance. This place is located in the jungle of Brazil, on the Rio Negro River.

Here is the eco-hotel Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel, where guests live in the trees in specially built wooden towers and move along hanging bridges, estranged from the man-made world and striving in their souls to unite with nature. The windows of the rooms overlook the forest, and you can spend hours watching its life.

However, you can’t relax too much here, as the jungle is full of predators. In addition, when planning to stay in this hotel, you need to remember the rainy season, which lasts for six months. About a very hot and humid climate that not everyone can withstand. But, paradoxically, the hotel is quite popular among participants in international conferences and even among the heads of some states.

Arriving on Poseidon Island (Fiji), you can stay at the underwater hotel Poseidon Undersea Resort. The unique building is located at a depth of 12 meters and consists of sealed glass capsule rooms connected by a waterproof corridor.

Such a dwelling would be very to the taste of Captain Nemo: he could admire the inhabitants of the ocean right from the window of his own bedroom. Hotel visitors can turn on special lighting that attracts fish and feed them remotely using a remote control.

For travelers who have a passion for retro trains, in the British city of Petworth there is a hotel in a vintage train, which is located on the territory of the old railway station.

The carriages serve hotel rooms with all amenities, furnishings are in the best English traditions. The former station waiting room now serves as the hotel lobby, the former ticket offices house a kitchen, and you can have breakfast in the fresh air on the platform.

Hotel Sant'Angelo is located in the Italian province of Matera. Luxury Resort, which is a cave carved into the rock. Initially, this was the old part of the city, so the site is under the protection of UNESCO.

The rooms welcome guests with cavernous interiors, which, at the same time, have everything for a comfortable life: comfortable beds, bathrooms, gourmet cuisine and even an art gallery.

This hotel is located on a former oil rig that has been converted into a hotel with double rooms, larger family rooms, and economy rooms with shared bathroom facilities.

All rooms are located in former oil workers' cabins. However, the hotel is interesting not for its rooms, but for its underwater treasures: just jump into the water and amazing beauty opens up before you underwater world with the inhabitants of the local waters - barracudas, moray eels, cuttlefish, sea bass.

It's worth a visit for this spectacle. distant corner sea, especially since the island of Sipadan is 9 kilometers from the hotel - popular place for divers who come there from all over the world.

Fans of flying on airplanes will find an unusual hotel in Costa Rica, located in an old Boeing 727. He was "moored" near national park Manuel Antonio.

Residents of the smallest Central American state are far from the first to figure out how to profitably “attach” an out-of-service aircraft.

However, unlike the Swedish Jumbo Stay, which is located near Stockholm, here you can live next to monkeys, toucans and other exotic animals, as well as admire natural forest landscapes.

There is a hostel in Bonn that looks more like a vintage campsite, set up in a former warehouse. The trailer park houses 16 campervans optimized for numbers, each with its own unique design and atmosphere.

Among them there is an English house, a capsule like a starship, a fishing hut, and a van from the glorious 60s.

In total, the indoor camp has 150 sleeping places. Its territory is furnished with outlandish sculptures, rare furniture and even props from filming.
