Propeller Island City (Berlin, Germany)

Hotel Costa Verde (Costa Rica)
Here is one of the most original hotels where you should stay. This place is quite particular: The Costa Verde Hotel was constructed inside a Boeing 727 that dates back to 1965. Incredible, isn’t it? This establishment, which is found in the middle of the jungle in Costa Rica, offers you a much more comfortable stay than one in a normal airplane. Indeed, you can go swim in one of the three pools on the terrace of the hotel or rest in one of the very well decorated rooms.
Inntel Hotel Zaandam (Amsterdam)
You can find this strange hotel in Amsterdam. The Inntel Zaandam Hotel is inspired by the architectural style of the houses in this capital city.

Indeed, each room has a historical photo to make you discover a little more about the city’s culture.
Montana Magica Lodge (Panguipulli, Chili)
This hotel, which is actually a mountain, is totally unique in the world. You are completely immersed inside the mountain in one of the 12 rooms. Like it wasn’t impressive enough, the Montana Magica Lodge has a waterfall that trickles down on one of its slopes. Magical!
The Manta Resort: Pemba Island (Zanzibar, Tanzania)
If you love diving and the aquatic world, you will love the Manta Resort. This hotel, which you can find in Tanzania, gives you the opportunity to sleep in an underwater room.

9 Hours Capsule Hotel Kyoto (Japan)
If you’re a science-fiction amateur, this hotel is perfect for you. The 9 Hour Capsule Hotel in Kyoto lets you sleep in one of its capsules. The ones for women are separated from the ones for men and give you the opportunity to sleep like you’ve lever slept before (unless you’ve already experienced sleeping inside a spaceship). These original capsules are equipped with a wake-up light therapy alarm clock, high-quality sheets and an air conditioning system.
Sun Cruise Resort (Donghae, South Korea)
Here’s a great way to go on a cruise boat without suffering from seasickness. The Sun Cruise Resort is a huge hotel in the shape of a boat. Located on a hill, this hotel will give you a gorgeous view of the ocean.
Spitbank Fort (Portsmouth, England)
This fort, which was renovated into a luxury spa/hotel retreat in 2012, has 9 bedrooms and is located in the middle of the sea. The Spitbank Fort was built after the Royal Commission in 1859 and is said to be haunted… It is not without reason that it is on our list of original hotels!
Free Spirit Spheres (Qualicum Beach, British Columbia)
You can find these charming accommodations in British Columbia in a tropical forest. The Free Spirit Spheres have been designed to allow you to enjoy nature in an original and comfortable way. They are suspended from the trees by ropes so that they swing with the wind whatever the weather.
There are hundreds of original hotels around the world. You simply have to find them! After all, why sleep in a traditional place when you can sleep near fish or in a 1965 Boeing 727?
