Unconventional Hotels

• Ever wondered how it would feel to have a free fall from a hotel shaped like a
crane or to stay in a capsule-shaped room. It is true that there are hotels that
are far from ordinary. The stay in these hotels around the world will make
your stay as exciting and memorable as the place you are visiting. Let’s take a
tour of the hotels that are in a true sense as extraordinary as the place they are
located in.
• Attrap'Rêves, France
Would you like to sleep in a bubble? The Attrap'Rêves Hotel — with locations all
over France — consists of plastic bubble domes built from recyclable materials.
Each bubble has a silent blower to keep fresh air inside. The spheres also have
amazing views of the French countryside, and come with amenities like
Champagne (it is France, after all).
• Giraffe Manor, Kenya
Imagine eating breakfast with giraffes. Well, you can. Giraffe Manor is owned and run by The Safari
Collection. It's one of the most iconic buildings in Nairobi, and it's a popular hangout for giraffes.
The herd of endangered giraffes visits the Manor in the mornings and evenings to mingle with
guests before venturing out into their sanctuary run by African Fund for Endangered Wildlife's
(AFEW) Giraffe Centre.
• The Iglu-Dorf Hotel, Switzerland
If you're not afraid of cold weather, try staying overnight in an igloo at one of The
Iglu-Dorf's locations this winter. The hotel-igloos are made of snow and ice — with
a bar, restaurant, event rooms, and wellness centers — and come with sleeping
bags designed to keep you warm in the -35℉ climes.
There's also a Jacuzzi, cups of hot white gluhwein, and ice sculptures. Yes, you'll
have to keep your clothes in the bottom of your sleeping bag to prevent them
from freezing, but you also get a nice warm mug of tea delivered to your igloo as a
wakeup call.
• Henn na Hotel (The Weird Hotel), Japan
The Henn na Hotel — also known as the Weird Hotel — is staffed almost entirely by robots. There
are two robots to greet you at the front desk: a humanoid who speaks Japanese, and a dinosaur
that speaks English.
Yes, this is unusual. Maybe even creepy. But try to focus on the awesomeness. There are mini
robots that carry your luggage. You enter your room using facial recognition technology. Robots in
your room respond to commands, and there's even technology that reads your body heat and
adjusts the room temperature accordingly! Eventually, there will be drones to deliver your food. It's
crazy and bizarre, but so, so cool.
In A Salt Palace
As the name suggests, the hotel has all the chairs and tables made of
blocks of salt.
The Salt Palace, Palacio de Sal is a luxury hotel in Salar de Uyuni,
Bolivia. Even the beds in the Salt Palace are made from salt blocks.
• Sun Cruise Resort
The resort is like staying in a yacht; the difference is that it is over a cliff instead of
being in the sea. The Sun Cruise Resort is built on a cliff overlooking the
Jeongdongjin beach in South Korea. The cruise resort has 211 rooms, a sky lodge,
and sea water outdoor pool and offers a stunning view of the ocean.
• In A Private Aquarium
Imagine viewing sharks in their wildest best, watching sting ray swim by, while having
dinner in a restaurant. This has been made possible by Conrad Maldives Rangali
Island Resort on Rangali Island in The guest gets the experience of dining 16-feet
below the sea level while enjoying 180-degree view of the reef and the marine life.
The resort has 50 water villas, 79 beach villas and 21 spa villas.
• Elkep Evi Cave Hotel
Stay the night or spend your vacations like a caveman living in a cave,
with just a minor difference — the cave rooms are equipped with
modern amenities. Elkep Evi Cave Hotel, in Cappadocia, Turkey,
offers 14 trolgolyte rooms. The hotel is located on one of the
highest hills in Turkey.
