Don’t get us wrong, large hotel chains have their place.
There can be something irresistibly safe and reassuring about a uniform holiday experience that never changes, no matter where in the world you’re travelling to.
But if you’re the type of person who travels to learn, discover, and be captivated by the new, then wouldn’t it be wonderful to stay in a hotel that’s a true one-of-a-kind?
The type of hotel that, no matter how unique and beautiful its surroundings, is a fresh and enchanting experience all of its own?
Somewhere like… say, a thermal glass igloo in glistening, snow-capped Finnish Lapland, where you can relax in the world’s largest smoke sauna.
Or perhaps an ancient Greek tower, mesmerisingly transformed into an elaborate hotel with elegant suites and unrivalled Mediterranean Sea views.
How about a trip Down Under… literally, with the world’s only underground four-star hotel? Complete with a swimming pool, shops, and a fine-dining restaurant, here you can also explore the intriguing Australian outback at your leisure!
In celebration of all things new and exciting, we’ve pulled together some more of the world’s most unusual hotels, just for you.
Prepare to be inspired!
