Many of those i’d be far too frightened in to fall asleep, such as the underwater, and airplane hotel. The sand and ice hotels would both be horrible uncomfortable. The one in Japan is genious, I remember hearing about them from my friend’s father and thinking that they seemed rather efficient. The rest seem just, interesting.

I’ve seen a few of these before, but good collection. The underwater hotel in Fiji looks especially nice, but I’d also like to stay in the floating hotel…

Why on Earth would you want to stay in that capsule one? Or sand or ice for that matter?

For some reason whenever i see creative buildings, I always ask myself if they would be good or suitable for say a zombie attack/end of the world doomsday/government take over type of deal…

In my opinion:
The Floating Hotel in Sweden looks fun.
The Ice Hotel in Canada is cold but cool.
The Cave Hotel in Turkey looks amazing.
The Airplane Hotel in Sweden is interesting.
The Treehouse Hotel in India looks awesome.
The Under Water Hotel In Fiji looks like a fun retreat
The Drain Pipe Hotel in Austria reminds me of the Shire.
The Sand Hotel in United Kingdom looks uncomfortable but could be fun.
The Capsule Hotel in Japan is scary and seriously reminds of the Holocaust and Hitler.
The Prison Hotel in Germany looks fun for creepy and weird people.
All are unique ideas, some I really like, others I loath. It’s really up to ones personal tastes though=)

Who needs a room when you only need the sleep and the fun? Vacation means relaxation and fun is part of it. I would rather take the Cave Hotel in Turkey instead of an ordinary room in some ghost hotel.

Cool as it is, I’m pretty sure I’d have nightmares in the underwater hotel…

The underwater hotel I solo cool. However, I would hyperventilate inside. Plus I saw this in a magazine a few years ago it was not yet open, but the cost of the rooms per night were in the thousands.

All of these look so neat. I love the underwater one best. I’m looking for possible honeymoon places. Maybe even just traveling ideas.

Good luck getting to the one in Fiji, it costs about $15,000 for a week stay. Per person.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not getting the prison concept. Ditto with the capsule hotel in Japan. You can probably rent yourself a place in a dog kennel for a lot cheaper!! Some of the others seem like they could be fun for a night or two, but are probably so far out of my price range that I won’t have to worry about any of this. I would like to try one of the tree house hotels someday. Oh, one last thought–who in God’s name sleeps well on a plane?! Again, not getting the concept! :;/)
