80. Bivacco Gervasutti – Capsule Hotel Hanging Off A Cliff In Italy

Hanging over the edge of a cliff at 9,301 feet (2,835 meters), Bivacco Gervasutti is not a place for the faint-hearted.

Bivouacs (Bivacco in Italian) are small shelters in usually hard-to-reach places that allow climbers to climb peaks that are out of reach of typical mountain huts or to take refuge in bad weather conditions. Where a bivouac used to be no more than a container without comfort, that has now changed.

You must climb a challenging ascent to get there, but the views are unforgettable. It's located on the Frebouze Glacier in the Mont Blanc massif. The capsule is named after Bivacco Gervasutti, the Turin-born Alpine climber Giusto Gervasutti, also known as "Il Fortissimo" ("the toughest").

This futuristic mountain capsule replaced the wooden shelter built in his memory in 1948. The pieces of the state-of-the-art structure were brought up by a helicopter. Thanks to solar panels and modern tech, you can browse the Internet in a cozy and warm cabin after a challenging ascent from Val Ferret.

78. Frying Pan Tower – The World's Most Dangerous Hotel

On a scale of a sloth to Alex Honnold (the guy who climbed the 3,000-foot rock face of El Capitan without any safety), how adventurous are you? If you are closer to the latter, Frying Pan's extreme open sea concept is for you.

Thirty-two miles off the coast of North Carolina, the former lighthouse of Frying Pan awaits those not afraid of wild storms in the Atlantic Ocean or sharks. The oil-rig-looking structure is 135 feet (41 meters) tall and has withstood massive hurricanes.

If you are fortunate, during your stay, you will soak in the colorful sunsets from the rooftop in a hammock rather than waiting for the shaking and rattling of the metal structure to stop. And if you miss adrenaline-pumping action, you can always go for a dive with the sharks below the Frying Pan Tower.

77. Inntel Zaandam – The Most Eye-Catching Hotel In Amsterdam

Inntel Zaandam resembles a patchwork of traditional wooden cottages typical of the Zaandam district of Amsterdam.

The top-corner house is blue, referring to the 'La Maison Bleue' artwork by painter Claude Monet, who often used the Zaan region as a backdrop.

Since its opening in 2010, it has become the city's new major tourist attraction. The entire building is internationally renowned, and in 2016, CNN labeled the hotel as 'the most unusual hotel in the world'—so it's no wonder it's on our list.

64. Levin Iglut – Glass Igloos Perfect For Viewing The Northern Lights

63. The O Pod Hotel – Sea-View From the Bed of a Capsule Hotel – Tel Aviv, Israel

Save your money for some falafels and pints of Goldstars and stay in Tel Aviv's coolest capsule hotel. It's in one of the best locations close to the historic Jaffa and Neve Tzedek districts and a stone's throw away from Tel Aviv's famous beaches.

The downside? You'll sleep pretty close to other people. Despite this, you'll have plenty of privacy because the capsules close completely. The more economical options have windows facing the lounge, but if you upgrade to the sea-view pods, you'll still save a significant amount compared to a typical hotel room.

The best, however, is that you can open the curtains in the morning and watch as the pretty sandy beach on the Mediterranean Sea attracts early birds for a sunrise walk.

56. Null Stern – Former Nuclear Bunker Turned Into Art Project Hotel

You sleep like a king on a hotel bed with two bedside tables and lamps. That's all the decor you get, except for the beautiful nature.

Waking up better is hardly possible. Once you open your eyes, you don't want to close them again. But just because their only stars are in the sky doesn't mean there's no service. A butler is available throughout the day, a 10-minute walk from your bed.

40. Fabriken Furillen – Chic Getaway In A Former Gravel Query On Gotland Island

A fashion photographer Johan Hellström achieved the impossible with Fabriken Furillen, as he converted the desolate landscape of an old gravel query into a romantic, cozy getaway.

Driving into the gate of the Furillen Factory on the Swedish island of Gotland is a strange experience. It's like entering a closed quarry where humans have not been for decades. Because the gray lunar landscape only gets colored by some plants and pine trees, it's almost like driving into a black-and-white photograph.

It is often said that "the devil is in the details." This is where most places fail. And that is precisely why the Furillen factory has succeeded with its amazingly detailed interiors — both in its restaurant and the 16 guest rooms.

Kakslauttanen is one of Finland's most famous destinations. It offers everything from horseback riding to reindeer safaris—that is, sleigh rides with reindeer and Santa hats. You will not find more winter idyll anywhere else!

30. Kruisherenhotel – Old Meets New At Maastricht Gothic Church

What happens when you put an ultra-modern design in a beautifully preserved gothic interior? Judging by Kruisherenhotel, a pure aesthetic feast happens.

The Gothic monastery was converted into a hotel in Maastricht in the Netherlands. Here, you can observe a spectacular interplay between classical architecture and modern design.

Construction of the monastery began in 1438. The church's choir was completed in 1459, and the current building was built around 1520. In 2000, hotelier Camille Oostwegel took the initiative for a thorough restoration to create a 60-room hotel.

26. Hüttenpalast – Nostalgic Retro Caravan Hotel In The Heart Of Berlin

Who said you could only sleep in a caravan on a campsite? The idea behind the hotel is that those who have never been on a regular camping holiday should try it slightly more comfortably.

Hüttenpalast is a former vacuum cleaner factory that now houses quite a collection of lovely vintage caravans. They might be indoors, but they certainly haven't lost their charm.

The room-in-room concept preserved the beauty of the industrial building. Instead of lengthy corridors and floor-to-ceiling walls dividing the rooms, the space is divided into quirky caravans and a large open space.

25. Propeller Island City Lodge – Avant-Garde Berlin Hotel With Mind-Blowing Design

Are you ready to sleep in a coffin, on a suspended bed, or under a guillotine? Nothing will shock you in life after you step inside Propeller Island. This hotel and art installation by Lars Storschen pushes the very limits of what a hotel can be.

It all started when Lars transformed two rooms in his apartment into guest rooms to finance music projects. Thanks to his creativity, the rooms quickly gained a lot of attention. Then, he decided to expand the guest room business, and five years later, Propeller Island City Lodge was born.

24. Felsenhotel La Claustra – Former Swiss Military Base After A Makeover

It's not often that you can see inside a military building. The La Claustra Hotel is hidden in a 6,726-foot-high (2,050-meter) mountain and used to be an army bunker.

Although La Claustra has been transformed into a comfortable 4-star hotel, you can still learn much about this former military fortress by wandering through its corridors.

A separate artificial cave has a jacuzzi, and you can enjoy a six-course dinner in the evening. The luxurious underground hotel can accommodate 30 people.

23. House In The Clouds – Charming English Cottage With A View

The name really says it all, doesn’t it? House In The Clouds is set on top of a 20-meter tall water tower with gorgeous panoramic countryside views.

The original structure held 50,000 imperial gallons (230,000 liters) of water, but in 1923, they decided to cover it with a cute wooden cottage on steroids. The 70-foot (21-meter)- high tower house has five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The living compartment is reached via an 85-step staircase. So, if you forget about buying bread, you have a long way to go!

22. Jumbo Stay Stockholm – Unique Hostel In A Jumbo Jet

The suite in the cockpit boasts a stunning view, and if you have always wanted to experience the sacred place in the front part of a jumbo jet, then you have the opportunity here.

The platform stands on 33 feet (10 meters) long legs above the water, offering fantastic views of the Celebes Sea. Even though the structure still screams its industrial heritage, "onboard," you will find high-speed wifi, airconditioned bedrooms, and even a gaming room.

20. REVERB by Hard Rock Hamburg - Before Brutalism Was Cool

The WW2 fortress built by the nazis in Hamburg is a massive concrete bunker that was designed before Brutalism was even a thing. When Brutalist architecture emerged in the post-war era, it put a smile on fans of raw concrete buildings.

REVERB, the new concept hotel chain by Hard Rock, came up with the crazy idea to use the former nazi bunker and build a pyramid-shaped structure on top, with a garden encircling it. So, the historical structure got a five-story extension and was totally rebuilt inside and outside.

Today, you can stay inside this massive concrete in one of the 134 rooms, drink cocktails, and run to the top to see Hamburg's largest public roof garden. Mental!

19. The Cubehouse – Cuboid House With No Straight Corners

Although slightly confusing and definitely very unusual, The Cubehouse must have required a lot of custom furniture. However, it looks surprisingly homely and welcoming inside. The unusual tilted and co-joint set of cube houses features comparably crazy interiors. The cube houses were designed by Piet Blom, and construction was finished in 1984. They are built over a walkway and angled to create a forest impression.

The cubes, which are tilted and sit on hexagon-shaped pole structures, contain the living areas divided into three levels. The lower level, which is triangle-shaped, contains the living area. Due to the slope of the tilted cube, the windows on this level open onto the environment below.

The middle level contains the sleeping area and a bathroom, while the top level, also triangular, is used as either an extra bedroom or a living space. The top level provides an excellent view because it is a three-sided pyramid with windows all around.

18. Uiara Amazon Resort – Floating Luxury Hotel On Amazon River

If you're committed to reducing your carbon footprint while traveling, Amazon Jungle Palace is a place for you. This unusual floating hotel uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure sustainable tourism. The Amazon Jungle Palace seems like it's in the heart of the Amazon rainforest on Lake Salvador.

Still, it's only five miles (eight kilometers) from Manaus, the capital and largest city of the Brazilian state of Amazonas.

The on-site restaurant serves local cuisine, and you can also enjoy snacks and drinks while lounging by the outdoor swimming pool. The hotel can also arrange a wide array of activities, including bird-watching, canoe trips, and ritual performances by the native tribes.

17. Hotel Jested – Futuristic Tower That Became Czech Cultural Monument

Is it a hotel or a time machine straight out of a science fiction film? It could easily be the latter since Hotel Jested offers retro and future-forward rooms. The iconic structure, completed in 1973 in the Jizera Mountains, is the masterwork of the famous Czechoslovak architect Karel Hubacek.

You can reach the tower on foot or by cable car, but the trip to the top is well worth the effort. Once at the top, you have a phenomenal view over Northern Bohemia (and Liberec) and even Poland and Germany!

16. Hotel Punta Grande – Miniature Hotel On A Remote Volcanic Island

15. Dog Bark Park Inn – Dog-Shaped Bed & Breakfast For Dog Lovers

Dennis and Frances had been carving wooden dogs for many years before creating their most enormous artwork – Dog Bark Park Inn.

This giant wooden beagle holds a comfortable suit and, unsurprisingly, is decorated with dozens of dog-related memorabilia. The three-story house has room for four: a double bed in the belly and two mattresses in the loft of the dog's head. The state of Idaho in the USA is a proud producer of local beer and wine, and now it has the world's largest beagle, too!

14. Ship In The Ice – Ice-Bound Ship In Arctic Norway

The hundred-year-old Ship In The Ice will make you feel like you're a daring traveler on a polar expedition, except without all the hardship and danger and with the added joys of husky sledding and five-course meals.

The sailing ship has been stuck on the frozen waters of Spitsbergen several times during its hundred-year-long service, so be ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

They built the boat in the German port city of Flensburg in 1910. The schooner was first used as a lightship under the name FS Kalkgrund II, like a floating lighthouse. During World War II, the boat was renamed Flensburg by the Nazi German navy, and it was equipped with an air rifle.

Finally, in 1991, the boat was purchased by Dutch owners, who upgraded it, turned it into an expedition ship, and named it Noorderlicht (Dutch for Northern Lights). Today, tourists from around the world regularly board the boat in its ten cabins and sail to Svalbard during the summer season (April through October).

13. Houshi Onsen – Traditional Japanese Inn Dating Back To 19th Century

Houshi Onsen is a stunning wooden ryokan (Japanese inn) that was built in 1875 at the source of a hot spring. The owner, Okamura, welcomes guests of Ryokan Chojukan at Hoshi Onsen with green tea. The traditional hotel has been family-owned for seven generations.

Furnished in traditional Japanese style, Hoshi Chujokan feels like stepping back in time. Although most rooms are equipped with modern electronics, the oldest rooms appear to be just as old as when the Ryokan first opened. The highlight of Hoshi Chujokan is the large wooden bath, which is in the style of a Rokumeikan (a Japanese banqueting House from the Meiji period).

12. Museumotel L'Utopie – 1960s Psychedelic Vision Of The Future

These bizarre concrete houses are the 1960s vision for future homes: cheap, functional, and aesthetic. But arguably, Museumotelin Raon-l'Étape, France, with its psychedelic 50s and 60s-inspired interiors, is more of a throwback to the past.

The buildings are examples of the “concrete veil” style of architecture, which seeks to create cheap, functional, and aesthetic houses. Today, the area is a private museum, and you can stay and experience what it must be like to live in a bubble village.

10. Henn-Na Hotel – Japanese Hotel Staffed With Talking Robots – Sasebo, Japan

If you want to glimpse into the future on your holiday, Japan is undoubtedly the right destination. RAtHenn-Na Hotel, robots will serve you, and you will open your room with facial recognition instead of a conventional key card.

Henn-Na Hotel is the world's first to have a fully-robot staff, so this place is for you if you are into AI and robotics. At check-in, you may be greeted by a human-like robot, but it is also possible that a polite velociraptor will welcome you. Anything can happen at this weird hotel!

In addition to the receptionists, some robots can help you with your luggage, and each room has a personal robot that can turn off the lights for you.

In the Western world, robots are often met with skepticism and may even be seen as a little scary. On the other hand, the attitude is far more positive in Japan, and there are probably several reasons for this.

While the concept of "killer robots" with devastating characters such as Terminator is the standard in the West, many Japanese have grown up with a more diverse - good and bad - selection of robots through manga and anime.

9. Yellow Sub Liverpool – You Can Live In A Yellow Submarine – Liverpool, United Kingdom

This one will get you twisting and shouting if you're a Beatles fan. Yellow Sub is a faithful recreation of the famous album cover submarine, and it's filled with Beatles memorabilia.

However, lucky primary schoolers can spend a night in one of the glass spheres as part of the educational experience.

The landmark building in Brussels attracts crowds of tourists. It was originally constructed for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. André and Jean Polak designed the 335-foot (102-meter) tall structure with nine stainless steel spheres.

Inside, you'll find a reception and a two-story restaurant while the lodgings are spread out on the property. The "drunken" ship is placed on the forested part of the coastline on the island of Chiloe in Chile.

5. Hotel Everland – Traveling Art Project Hotel – France

Hotel Everland was an art project by Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann that ran between 2006 and 2009. The project ran for a thousand nights, and its goal was to stretch the boundaries of art and hospitality.

Guests could book only one night, and the hotel's location constantly changed as it toured Europe. The art project made fun of typical hotel habits, like stealing items, and the owners actively encouraged guests to take some things home.

4. Icehotel Sweden – Seasonal Ice Hotel with Incredible Art Suites – Jukkasjärvi, Sweden

3. Eh'häusl – Tiny German House With A Romantic Backstory – Amberg, Germany

With a width of only 8.2 feet (2.5 meters), Eh'häusl has a solid claim to the title of the world's smallest hotel.

It was built in the 18th century when couples needed to own a house to get married. So, the bride and groom would buy the house before tying the knot and sell it to the next couple right after! According to Guinness, the Eh'häusl is the smallest hotel in the world, at 570 square feet (53 square meters).

2. Das Park Hotel – Extremely Minimalist Sewer Pipe Hotel – Ottensheim, Austria

If this isn't recycling at its best (and weirdest), I don't know what is. Das Park Hotel has rooms inside sewer pipes that offer little more than a bed (seriously, not even bathrooms) and come under a pay-as-you-wish model.

Many hotels are built of concrete but usually install windows and a nice facade. Not here. Andreas Strauss is the man behind this quirky idea. He took standard sewer pipes and turned them into comfortable rooms. Artist Thomas Latzel Ochoa was responsible for the interior design.

What about the price? It's pretty much pay as much as you want (within reason).

Everything about this former sea fort feels like a spy movie, from arriving by helicopter to the hyper-luxurious interiors. Spitbank Hotel is really pushing the limits of architecture makeovers with its insanely indulgent revamp.

The hotel, completed in 1878, has only nine rooms. It was formerly a naval base in the south of England. The sea fort offers a unique panorama of Portsmouth and the surrounding sea.
