Unique hotels just as cool as their locations!

              When I was a kid, for some reason, hotels were the best part of traveling. It was like one big family sleepover, until I realized that being cooped with your family, as a teenager, was actually the last item on the list of fun things to do. Don’t get me wrong – I love my family. And I love spending time with them. Just not when we are travel-weary, cramped, hungry for real food, and tired. However, something about nice, fancy, hotels appealed to me (and still kind of does, I won’t lie). I like that you get fresh sheets every day; I like that everything is neat and orderly when you walk in; I like that you can get room service. Honestly, if the hotel is even somewhat upscale, it might be better than whatever place you are visiting anyway. So when I found out about unique, unconventional hotels being built all over the world, I knew I wanted to visit some one day. Since I still harbor my childhood love of hotels, traveling to get to a hotel doesn’t seem odd to me; plus just because your accommodations are your destination doesn’t mean you can’t still get out and explore! Which I would definitely not be able to resist doing, regardless of where I am. Check out some of these crazy hotels that are a vacation in themselves:

Cave Hotel, Turkey

                                                   
                                                                 Sand Hotel, England

                                                                 Floating Hotel, Sweden

                                                           Poseidon Undersea Resort, Fiji
                                                               

                                                               Jumbo Hostel, Sweden

                                                                Ice Hotel, Canada

                                                                 Tree House Hotel, India

I can’t think of anything better than being able to travel to one of these amazing places, experience their culture, see their sites, and then come back to one of these hotels. A nice hotel can make your trip, just as a bad one can break. A level of comfort is key to travel, and these hotels can provide that – along with a extraordinary experience that you’ll remember forever. Imagine being able to mesmerize your friends with travel stories involving the awesome hotel you stayed in – that doesn’t come around too often!
