From sewers and in the belly of a dog: 7 unusual hotels in the world
Someone needs comfort in the rooms, the first coastline and polite staff. However, there are hotels that are attractive to tourists with completely different features.
Wday.ru has compiled a selection of these amazing hotels located in different parts of the world. Choose yours.
Icehotel, Hotel Sweden, Jukkasjärvi
Tired of summer and heat? Come to a hotel made of ice and snow. Here you will definitely be given a sleeping bag, thermal underwear, a hat and mittens.
On the beds you will not see snow-white swans from the sheets – the beds are made with real deer skins. This is understandable, because the temperature in such a room is only -7.
The rooms are decorated with the frozen water of the Turne-Elv River, and every year the situation here changes, because in the spring the ice usually melts.
Price per day: from 13 rubles, breakfast included. Hot lingonberry juice awaits you in the morning. Guests can relax in the wood-fired sauna, go dog sledding or sunbathe.
Dog Bark Park Inn, USA, Idaho, Cottonwood
This strange hotel is popular with tourists from different countries. The building is quite modern and was built in 2003 by married couple Dennis Sullivan and Frances Conklin. And they immediately attracted attention. Still would! After all, this is a non-standard approach to accommodating guests in familiar rooms.
The guests settle in the belly of a 10-meter dog called Cutie Willie, and next to her is a smaller dog, 3-meter Toby.
The atmosphere of the place is saturated with a dog theme: the decoration of the rooms, corridors is decorated in the appropriate style, there is a shop with animal figurines, and in the reading corner there are encyclopedias about dogs and portraits of pets.
The hotel has only 4 rooms, and the demand for them is very high, so you need to book a vacation at Dog Bark Park Inn several months in advance.
Price per day: from 8000 rubles, breakfast included.
Tubo Hotel, Mexico, Tepostlan
Don’t have extra money for vacation? Then a hotel made of concrete sewers is exactly what you need. On an area of 220 square meters, in a chaotic manner among lush greenery, 20 pipes are laid in two tiers, one end of which is a blank wall, the other is a glass window-door.
The furnishings are quite ascetic: a double bed, a night light on the side, a fan above the headboard, and a wardrobe under the bed. The amenities are in separate pipes.
But this does not bother the guests at all, and every year there are more people who want to relax here.
Price per day: $ 35 on weekdays, $ 50 on weekends.
Woodlyn Park, New Zealand, North Island
The hotel designers took into account the wishes of various categories of travelers and prepared for them a choice of three different room formats.
A hobbit’s burrow motel is a small hut built into hillocks. In them you will definitely recognize Frodo’s house. As many as 6 people can cohabit in one such.
If you don’t want to go underground, you can settle in a 1918 train carriage or a patrol boat that plowed the waters during World War II. Or maybe you will most like the cabin of a combat aircraft that has been in the battles of the Vietnam War?
In addition to such extraordinary numbers, an interesting entertainment program has been prepared for the guests, consisting of shearing sheep, riding mustangs, chopping firewood competitions and all those things that New Zealand life is famous for.
Price per day: from 140 $. By the way, the motel – the hobbit’s house – is the most expensive, it costs as much as $ 192 per day.
Al Maha Desert Resort, Dubai
The Bedouin camp, set up right in the middle of the desert, is a vacation for wealthy people.
Some come here to dissolve in harmony with nature, others – to take part in falconry and camel safaris, and others – for ATV races in the real desert and for archery.
The hotel has a total of 42 suites. But which ones: each bungalow has access to a private pool, which overlooks the sand dunes, where gazelles and antelopes stroll calmly. The furnishings are not inferior to five-star hotels, as the tents are decorated with the traditional luxury of Arabia.
Price per day: from 85 000 rubles.
Jules Undersea Lodge, USA, Florida
The underwater hotel can accommodate only 12 people at a time, as the area of this unique place is only 183 square meters.

To get to the hotel, you need to equip yourself with scuba gear and descend into the depths of the sea. You need to book such a vacation in advance, as the demand for it is great.
Price per day with meals: for one – from 45 rubles, for two from 000 rubles.
Malmaison Oxford, Hotel United Kingdom, Oxford
The prison hotel is attractive to guests not only for the decoration of medieval England and the rebellious spirit, but also, as guests say about it, delicious prison porridge, served with expensive champagne and gourmet dishes.
In the 2005th century, this building housed a city prison under the jurisdiction of Her Majesty, and in XNUMX one of the famous hotel chains in England decided to transform it into an extravagant resting place.
Of course, not a trace of bunks and shared showers is left here. Guests are accommodated in comfortable rooms with amenities and are treated to a brasserie and local restaurant. However, barbed wire is stretched along the perimeter, which can be seen from the window of the room, and the building as a whole has retained its identity: wooden floors, prison bars and metal doors.
Price per day: from 27 rubles without meals.
