Unique Hotels Around the World

1. Treehouse Hotel
Treehotel in Sweden offers seven suspended treehouses nestled high among the trees, reaching up to 20 feet in the forest. Accommodation options include a giant bird’s nest, a UFO-shaped structure, and a reflective “Mirror Cube.” Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding forest, the Lule River, and the Northern Lights at the right time of the year. From September to March, the hotel staff organizes guided tours to witness the Northern Lights. Additionally, guests can dine at the on-site restaurant specializing in northern Swedish cuisine and explore the village of Harads with its 600 inhabitants.

2. Underwater Hotel
As part of the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Resort by Hilton, the Muraka underwater hotel required a $15 million investment to construct. Located 5 meters above sea level in the Maldives, the two-story hotel suite offers panoramic views both above and below the ocean, with a price tag of $50,000 per night! The most impressive feature of Muraka is the immersive experience it provides in the mesmerizing marine life of the Maldives. World-class architects and engineers collaborated to build this one-of-a-kind hotel suite in Singapore and then transported it to the Maldives, anchoring it in the middle of the Indian Ocean. While underwater hotels can be found globally, from Dubai to Norway, Muraka is considered the first of its kind in terms of its design.3. Snow Igloo Hotel in Finland
Until now, everyone is familiar with the ice hotels in Sweden and their siblings: the Hôtel de Glace in Quebec, the Snowhotel Kirkenes in Norway, and the Ice Hotel in Romania— all ice sculptures that arise from the frozen art every winter and melt away in the summer. But if you are more interested in finding a snow igloo, Finland is the top choice with a stay at Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Most images depict the “snow igloos” with their glass domed ceilings, particularly renowned for unobstructed views of the Northern Lights. However, to truly experience a snow igloo, choose one of the dozens of real snow igloos at this unique hotel, where you will find tranquility and a sleeping bag to keep you comfortable in sub-freezing temperatures. 4. Cave Hotel in Turkey
If you’ve ever dreamed of sleeping in a cave, head to the enchanting region of Cappadocia in Turkey. There, many unconventional hotels are carved right into the ancient rock formations of the land. There are plenty of cave hotels to choose from in Cappadocia, including the Seraphim Cave Hotel, but Ottoman Cave Suites in the town of Goreme is perhaps the most unique. The impressive Ottoman-themed rooms feature wallpaper décor, Turkish artwork, and notable stone walls and ceilings resembling seashells and volcanic rocks, keeping the temperature cool. In other parts of the world, you can also stay in the Grand Canyon Caverns in the United States, the Kokopelli Cave in New Mexico, and the Felsenhotel La Claustra in Switzerland, all offering unique cave experiences.
5. Fantasyland-themed Hotel in Canada
Everyone loves a good theme, and while amusement parks are famous for effectively utilizing them, it’s challenging to find themed hotels. In Canada, Fantasyland Hotel in Edmonton is located within a shopping center, but that’s hardly the most unique aspect about it. True to its name, Fantasyland offers 120 themed rooms, allowing guests to immerse themselves in a fantasy environment. The options at this one-of-a-kind hotel include rooms resembling a spaceship, a gas station, Polynesia, Rome, the Arabian Desert, and a jail cell. Additionally, the shopping center features a water park, thrilling rides, a mini-golf course, and a bowling alley.
