10 Unique Hotels in the world

 1. California’s Madonna Inn, USA

With tons of wacky themed rooms, there’s nothing dull about California’s Madonna Inn. Take the “Yahoo” room, where the bed looks like a carriage and horns hang above the bed; or the “Rock Bottom” room where your bed appears sudmerged into a cave.
 


2. The Galactic Suite Space Resort, Barcelona

When The Galactic Suite Space Resort opens for business in 2012, well-heeled guests will be charged $4.4 million for a three night stay at the first planned hotel in space – eight-week training course on a tropical island included.



 
3. Goldfish Hotel at Amsterdam airport

This bizarre hotel is not for you, it’s for your goldfish. Billed as the world’s first goldfish hotel, it sits in the Amsterdam Schiphol airport and fish owners can drop off their scaly pets for the duration of their vacation, The five-sea-star hotel includes a tennis court, a beach with beach guard and a pool with slide.


4. The Everland Hotel, Paris

This ‘crazy’ little pod is, in fact, a hotel. The Everland Hotel has only one bedroom, one lounge and a bathroom. “All facets are important constituents of the artistic idea: The room can be booked for one night only, the mini-bar is fully stocked and included in the price, breakfast is delivered to the door and a record collection stands at ones disposal.



 
5. The Gamirasu Cave Hotel, Turkey

Some people pay to sleep in a cave. The Gamirasu Cave Hotel in Turkey is one such place. The cave “used to be a Byzantine monastic retreat, dated to about 1,000 years old,” Now, visitors can sleep where the monks slept, in a cool Turkish cave.


 
6. The Capsule Inn, Japan

The Capsule Inn in Japan is one small sleeping space. Or maybe ‘space’ isn’t the right word, maybe sleeping ‘pod’ is more like it.


 
7. Utter Inn Stockholm, Sweden

The Utter Inn is yet another of Mikael Genberg’s creations in his inimitable style. The Utter Inn is an underwater floating hotel with a typical swedish red house as the top floating part and an aquarium as the bedroom. Guests are taken by boat to the hotel, given instructions and then left alone. If they choose the deluxe package they will also get a dinner delivered by boat.


 
8. Mardan Palace Hotel, Turkey

What makes Mardan Palace Hotel ‘crazy’? It’s sheer cost: it is billed as Europe’s most expensive hotel. It cost roughly $1.4 billion to build, and Mariah Carey, Sharon Stone, Richard Gere and Paris Hilton all attended its opening, according to Luxury Travel Advisor. A stay at this hotel on the Turkish Riviera could run you up to $18,000 per night. At the Mardan Palace Hotel, “it takes half an hour to cross the pool (by gondola, naturally). The spa has a room full of real snow. The bathrooms have gold-plated mirrors on the floor,”.


 
9. Das Park Hotel, Linz, Austria

The Das Parkhotel is “constructed from repurposed, incredibly robust drain pipes. The external simplicity surrounds an unexpectedly comfortable interior – full headroom, double bed, storage, light, power, woolly blanket and light cotton sleeping bag. All other hotelery devices (Toilets, showers, minibar, cafe, etc) are supplied by the surrounding public space,”.

 
10. Burj al Arab Dubai

Dubai is known for its opulence and the Burj al Arab is no exception. This crazy hotel is designed to look like a blowing sail. The Royal Suite in this pricey hotel costs $14,976.  The suite is 8,400 square feet, offers a rotating bed and private cinema and overlooks the turquoise Arabian sea.
