Look! The most unusual hotels in the world!!!

In anticipation of the May holidays, we offer you a guide to the most unusual hotels in the world - underwater, on a tree, in a real gorge or an old train.

Japan, Capsule Inn Akihabara

The Japanese, with their characteristic minimalism, have come up with and created a capsule Hotel Capsule Inn Akihabara, where you can spend the night in special cells located in two rows one above the other. Each such cell (average size 2x1x1 m) contains a bed, a hanging TV, and a radio. The sleeping place in the capsule is very similar to the upper bunk in a train compartment. Shoes and things are stored separately in lockers, the toilet is shared. The first capsule hotels in the country appeared in the late 1970s, but have not lost their popularity to this day.

Price: from 2000–3000 yen/day (€14–21).

Austria, Hotel Rogner Bad Blumau designed by Hundertwasser

Friedensreich Hundertwasser is a famous Austrian architect, artist and simply a brave man. His ideas are ecological and simple. Multi-colored buildings with domes and fabulous ceramic facades are hidden in the hills. Trees, bushes and grass grow on the roofs. Hundertwasser's houses are surprisingly similar to his socks - he never wore the same ones. And he believed that living in identical box-houses is not only boring, but also harmful to health.

Famous resort complex Rogner Bad Blumau 4*, designed by Hundertwasser, is located in Bad Blumau (45 km from Graz, southeast Austria). Don't look for straight lines, smooth walls and familiar silhouettes here. Allow yourself to be free, remember your childhood or feel like a character from Alice in Wonderland.

The fee for conversions depends on the season - on average €200-250 for a standard double room.

Sweden, The Ice Hotel

If you've always dreamed of the harsh north, go to Sweden. Here, in the town of Jukkasjärvi (200 km north of the Arctic Circle), there is The Ice Hotel, which is built anew every year from ice and snow by artists. Everything here breathes winter and reminds of the kingdom of the Snow Queen. You will have to sit on ice chairs, sleep on ice beds: on real reindeer skins, in sleeping bags, thermal underwear and a hat. They say that it never gets below -7 degrees inside. Since the hotel melts every spring (the project has existed for 20 years), in the summer you can live in cozy wooden chalets and fish in the nearby river.

You can watch the life of the forest from the windows of the rooms.
