But in fact they look like twins: the rooms - a bed, desk, chair and bathroom (if you're lucky), the restaurant - buffet and a black and white waiters at the reception - a business-like polite administrator with impeccable or break the British. It turns out that we are always somewhere to go and live as if in the same place.
Especially for those who are tired of the same type numbers, the standard of entertainment and paid for courtesy of staff, architects and designers from different countries are creating real works of art of hospitality. The original, strange, unusual, unique, shocking - all these adjectives are equally suitable to describe the hotel, not like the usual Resort, the Plaza and Club. Placed under water, in trees, in mills, caves, castles and bunkers, they allow you to take a fresh look at such a banal, at first glance, the notion of "staying in the hotel."
The Giraffe Manor (Nairobi, Kenya)
If you like the exotic nature, exotic animals and even an exotic vacation, you definitely will like this hotel, located in a suburb of the Kenyan capital. Outwardly, The Giraffe Manor is not much different from the ordinary buildings in English colonial style. But his unusual can quickly see if live here.

Dog Bark Park Inn (Idaho, USA)
This hotel is located in the American town of Cottonwood, attracts tourists from all over the world for its unusual shape. Its creators, the wife of Dennis Sullivan and Frances Conklin, addicted to sawing wood models of dogs of various breeds and sizes. Not surprisingly, therefore, that their hotel opened its doors to its first guests in 1997, has the dog. This is the largest and perhaps the most famous of their creation.
The hotel can accommodate only four people: two on each floor. For the recognition of guests, the best sleep in a comfortable spalenke, which is located on the second floor in a dog.
To some it may seem that while away the hours at Dog Bark Park Inn pretty boring, since around the town stretches a vast field, and in the hotel does not have such basic amenities for the modern man, as a TV. But there to help the guests arrive savvy hoteliers who came up with for its guests a fascinating master classes.

Propeller Island City Lodge (Berlin, Germany)
The name of this surreal hotel in Berlin in Russian looks solid gobbledygook - "City house-island with a propeller." In fact it is named in honor of the novel by Jules Verne's "Floating Island" whose name sounds like the original L'Ile a helice - literally "Island of the propeller. However, neither the island nor the propeller at the hotel you will not find. But see many other oddities, if not more ...
Proprietor and, in combination, the designer of all of its rooms is Lars Stroshen. He was confident that the birth of his turbulent imagination interiors are capable of changing human impact on his consciousness. And this confidence is not without foundation. Get at least a number of Upside Down. It literally turned everything upside down: the ceiling with a chandelier on the bottom, and the floor and all the furniture - overhead. Even the landscape outside the window turned upside down. Willy-nilly, think that the world has gone mad. Or maybe you? ..
In this case, there are all the same amenities as in an ordinary room. Take, say, a bed. Never mind that she looks more like a shallow cellar - he sleeps in it no less comfortable.
No less strange bed in the room Two Lions. In the middle of the room on a powerful half meter stilts are two cells with mattresses. Each is designed for one person, but a huge bath can accommodate two guests.
In general, Lars Stroshena what is called a fad for beds. Thus, in the room with the speaker called Flying Bed bed, I think, really flies. She seemed to hang over the sloping floor. But in the Space-Cube bed is right. However, she shared a strange lamp, looks more like ... wide guillotine. Gloomy thoughts evoke bed in the room Gruft. Here they are made in the shape of coffins.
In order to better feel the personality of rooms, each equipped with audio recordings of some music or just sounds. And every guest prudently issued instructions for the use of facilities that the hotel is so bizarre, even to the point ...
Jules Undersea Lodge (Florida)
This is another hotel which was named in honor of Jules Verne. Jules Undersea Lodge literally translated as "Jules Underwater housing. Remember the "Nautilus" from the novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"? So, Jules Undersea Lodge - and this is essentially the embodiment of vernovskoy fantasy.
In the past, "Underwater housing Jules" - research underwater laboratory, whose purpose was to study the continental shelf off the coast of Puerto Rico. Inhabitants of the laboratories were two scientists, oceanographers. Not surprisingly, therefore, that the size of the hotel rather modest: only two rooms and a lounge. But here is quite unusual windows and windows with a diameter of over one meter thick glass. They create the illusion that you're not in a hotel room, but in this submersible, among the many inhabitants of the underwater flora and fauna.
By the way, with the fauna of everything is in order: the hotel is an artificial reef and is home to a variety of creatures, and went out of his air bubbles attract many fish.
Get into the Jules Undersea Lodge can only be immersed for ten meters under the guidance of an experienced instructor. Aqualung can be removed, after reaching the so-called. "Wet rooms". Then a shower, and you can go to my room-cabin to relax and enjoy the underwater views of the ocean.
Special luxuries of this hotel is not worth waiting for. However, all that is needed for a comfortable stay, the owners of Jules Undersea Lodge will provide: food, sleeping, television and telephone. There's even possible to arrange a miniature wedding party for six with this cake and fresh flowers.
