Sleeping in a hotel made entirely of salt or ice, built on top of a tree or inside a church. Unusual places suitable for spending original nights with charm.
The Trivago hotel price comparator has compiled a list of the 10 most curious hotels in the world, taking into account both the peculiarities of the accommodations and the opinions of its users.
In the first place of the ranking is a classic among rare or different hotels: The Hôtel de Glace, in Canada. As its own name indicates, it is an ice hotel. Composed entirely of ice and snow -the beds, for example, are blocks of ice- it is prepared so that the stay in it is pleasant despite the extreme temperatures that exist outside.
The second hotel is in Turkey and is called Cappadocia Cave Suites. Located in the heart of the Göreme National Park, it is built inside some caves so that all rooms have extraordinary views over the valley.
Hotel for bullfighting
The third of the rarest hotels in the world is located in the Mexican city of Zacatecas. Quinta Real Zacatecas has the peculiarity of being designed around what was the Plaza de Toros San Pedro until the 19th century. Completely renovated, respecting the history and atmosphere of the place, the hotel has 5 stars and its rooms are arranged around the ring.
Just 30 minutes from Brussels and Antwerp, Hotel Martin’s Patershof is situated in a former 19th-century church in the heart of picturesque Mechelen. The hall of this hotel is simply magical: what was the central nave of the church, which now combines elements of the past with a very modern decoration.
High up in a tree, in Brazil
The Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel is located in the middle of the Brazilian Amazon jungle and its rooms hang high in the trees, about 10 to 20 meters above the ground. What better place to fully integrate into nature?
