Weirdest hotels in the world

Sometimes your accommodation can be a tourist attraction in itself. Japan’s “capsule hotels” have already become another fun thing for travelers to do.

But there are places that go much further, as you can read in this Matador Trips article about the World’s 10 Weirdest Hotels.  Several of these really integrate with their natural environments, like the ice hotel in Sweden and the cave hotel in Turkey. Others even turn the idea of accommodation on its head, for example staying in a renovated prison. Just make sure your cell opens from the inside.

Got any stories about strange hotels and hostels you’ve stayed in?

    Hi, I stayed at a church hostel in Alaska once. that was pretty cool, we had to sleep in between the pews on the floor!

    This isn’t a hostel, however, the converted prison hotel made me think of this. In Costa Rica they converted a prison into a children’s museum. It’s so great!
