The hospitality industry trends are constantly changing and evolving with time, and are coming up with new ideas that are so unique they will blow your mind. 

Can you believe that some unique hotels in the world give you a chance to have an experience of a lifetime, not only with their hospitality but also their unique designs? 

Let me introduce you to some of the most unique hotels in the world that will sweep your feet off the ground.

1. Jail Cell Hostel, Ottawa

Let me tell you one interesting fact if you fancy the idea of going to jail, just to see why it scares the heck out of people. 

This very cool hostel in Ottawa, Canada, is based in a restored jailhouse, and the rooms here are similar to that of a prison. You can choose to share your cell with another inmate, or you can have your single cell; it’s up to you. You can also have a free jail tour. 

Wouldn’t it be so cool, to spend the night in jail and have top-notch hospitality, as if you are a popular celebrity in jail, that too without an offence? 

2. Finn Lough Bubble, Ireland

You will be staying in a transparent bubble with a 180-degree view of the place. The starry skies at night make your stay worth every penny. 

This Bubble Dome also allows you to lie in your room and stargaze.

3. Cockpit Cottage, Costa Rica

In Costa Rica, there is a hotel that welcomes people in their unique stay where the interior has been designed like a plane, with a bed, and is equipped with every modern amenity you can think of. 

The interior is made of teak wood, which adds to the ambience of the place. The best part is that you will have a view of the ocean from your room.

4. Cube House, Rotterdam

You can make your next visit to Rotterdam in the Netherlands and stay here in these curious cubes for a day or two to experience one of the most unique hotels in the world. 

Each cube is interestingly designed in different shapes, sizes and angles and will make you curious to no end.

5. Kakslauttanen Igloo, Finland

Well, if that idea makes you excited, then pack your bags and get going to Finland. It’s the best place to witness the northern lights. The glass igloos are quite popular here because you get to see the northern lights during the season. 

6. Manta Resort, Tanzania

You can’t, right? Because how are you going to breathe after the oxygen runs out? 

Now this may come as a surprise, but there is a resort in Tanzania called The Manta Resort, which has an underwater room where you can stay. 

Besides, there is also a room above the surface of the water on a floating island. You no longer need to snorkel to see the fish because they come to you on the window of your room. 

This is probably the most unique hotel in the world. 

7. Underwater Suite, Maldives

Sounds cool, doesn’t it?

9. The Train Car Hotel, Indianapolis

With actual tracks running beside this hotel, you can hear as well as feel the trains passing through the hotel. 

10. Ice Hotel, Sweden

If you are one of those very strong people who can bear the extreme winters, then this is the place for you. So the challenge is that you have to stay in this hotel which has ice installations, and the room will freeze you to no limit. 

Even though the rooms are frosty and cold, the bed is lined with reindeer fur and sleeping bags to keep you warm. 

If you can make it through the night, the staff will treat you with a nice cup of hot lingonberry tea. 

11. Wine Barrel Hotel, Austria

Confused? Well, there is a wine barrel which is actually a room with basic amenities, including wifi. 

Located in the countryside in Austria, the place looks absolutely lovely and gives you an entirely different experience of lodging.

12. Cave Hotel, Italy

So there is a 9000-year-old cave which shows the evidence of civilisations that have been living in them. One of the hotel groups took the initiative of carving out the cave to build hotel rooms while also protecting the integrity of the people living inside the cave. 

It took ten years to carve out 18 lovely hotel rooms in the cave, but in the end, it was all worth it, for it is gaining popularity with time. More and more people want to explore this cave hotel which is probably one of the most unique hotels in the world.

Conclusion

All these unique hotels in the world, and the idea of building them is worth appreciating, and the best way to appreciate it is to spend a day or two here to witness the magic with your own bare eyes.
