Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jack_Sparrow" data-source="post: 7397299" data-attributes="member: 106688">     Capsule Hotel, Netherlands: a hotel made out of a survival pod     <img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/2u8jfw2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Your own survival pod! Escape pod hotel in a  city centre dock location.     Moored in The Hague , your room is a bright orange survival pod  which once     saw service on an oil rig platform. Originally built in 1972 they  are 4.25     metres in diameter and unaltered apart from the addition of a lock  on the     outside and an ‘emergency' chemical toilet inside. While not     everyone's luxury choice, each pod provides cosy protection from the     elements for up to three occupants.         First created for accommodation as an art project in 2004, owner  Denis     Oudendijk has 8 different models ready for use and is currently  working on     additional locations in central Amsterdam and Nantes , France . Everland, Paris: a hotel which parks in  unusual places with amazing     views       <img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/mcvjpx.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Everland is a hotel with only one room including  a bathroom, a king-size     bed and a lounge. What makes it so different is that - because it is  also     an art installation - this hotel travels! The Everland has been     ‘parked' in the most unsual places, like the roof-deck of the Museum     of Contemporary Art in Leipzig, Germany, or the roof of Palais de  Tokyo     (with a spectacular view on the Eiffel Tower) in Paris.         Considering how unique a night in this hotel is, the price is not so  crazy:     you can get the only room and the unique view for 333 Euros during  the     week, 444 Euros during the weekends. Hôtel de Glace, Canada – an ice  hotel opened only during winter <img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/13ypkib.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Made entirely of ice and snow, this unique  one-story structure has been     rebuilt each year since 2000. The 9th season of the Ice Hotel lasted  from     January 4th through March 29th 2009. The Ice Hotel has become an     unparalleled and world-famous winter experience. It takes 5 weeks,  500 tons     of ice, and 15,000 tons of snow to craft the Ice Hotel with its  ceilings as     high as 18 feet, walls covered with original artwork and furniture  carved     from ice blocks. Waterworld Hotel, China – an amazing  aquatic themed hotel           <img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/f06z5c.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Atkin's Architecture Group won first prize for  an international design     competition with this stunning entry. Set in a spectacular water  filled     quarry in Songjiang , China , the 400 bed resort hotel is uniquely     constructed within the natural elements of the quarry. Underwater  public     areas and guest rooms add to the uniqueness, but the resort also  boasts     cafes, restaurants and sporting facilities.      Sala Silvergruva, Sweden: a single  room hotel inside a silver mine <img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/2wox3rk.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Picture this A single suite, 155m underground in  historic Sala Silvermine,     one of the world's best preserved mine settings. (During its heyday,     production amounted to more than 3 tons of silver a year and a total  of     more than 400 tons of silver and about 40,000 tons of lead were  extracted -     completely by hand!) If you wake up in the middle of the night and  have to     use the bathroom, make sure you turn right or else you'll end up  exploring     dark winding galleries, vast caverns and magic lakes. Das Park Hotel, Austria: a hotel  where rooms are made of concrete pipes <img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/ftodaf.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A hotel with rooms made of giant concrete sewage  pipes might sound a little     odd, but this artistic creation can be recreated to provide cheap  lodging     anywhere. These 9,5 tonne concrete sections are a standard item in  near all     concrete factories and the oden floors, a really comfortable double  bed,     minibar and room service through to 1am. For night owls, the  reception is     open 24hrs. With the amazing view below there is little else needed,  except     if you're staying in bed past 10am, when pajamas would be a wise  thing to     wear, as although you can look out - tourists can look in      The De Vrouwe van Stavoren Hotel ,  Netherlands : a hotel made from     recycled wine barrels <img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/24gw30g.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The De Vrouwe van Stavoren Hotel in the  Netherlands salvaged four wine casks     from Switzerland and converted them into rooms. Formerly filled with  14,500     liters of Beaujolais wine from the French chateau, each now holds a  modest     two-person room with standard amenities and even an attached  bathroom and a     sitting room.         The one thing that might bother you, if you're not a wine  enthusiast, is     the smell of wine that the barrels still maintain. All in all the  Barrel     Hotel, in Stavoren, northern Netherlands , makes for a very  pleasurable     experience. General rates for a cask room are from 74-119 Euros a  night     with discounts of up to 75% off depending on season. If you go in  the     wintertime, a wine cask room can be as low as 18 Euros a night,  cheaper     than most hostels. Giraffe Manor , Kenya : a hotel  where you dine with a friendly giraffe <img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/do3z2w.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This small and exclusive hotel -- surrounded by  140 acres of indigenous     forest just outside Nairobi -- is famous for its resident herd of  giraffe.     It's the only place in the world where you can enjoy the experience  of     feeding and photographing the giraffe over the breakfast table, at  the     front door or while you dine, and the giraffes poke their heads  through the     window.         As well as the giraffe, the property is also home to many species of  birds,     large families of warthogs and the elusive Bush Buck. Hotel Im Wasserturm , Germany : a hotel  inside a water tower      <img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/b4xggo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />     Rising high above Cologne , this international luxury hotel was once  the     largest water tower in 19th century Europe . In 1990, French  designer Andrée     Putman transformed it into an elegant 78-room hotel.         Classified as a heritage site, the timeless modern design still  manages to     preserve the water-tower architecture and a sense of refuge and  protection. Jumbo Hostel ( Stockholm ): World's  First Aircraft Inn <img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/5zhaa8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Stockholm is the house of this wacky hotel, the  first aircraft inn. An     abandoned Boeing 747 jumbo jet has been saved from being trashed  metal to     become a 25-room hotel sited in Stockholm-Arlanda airport. Each room  is     bare 65 square ft big and furnished with bunk beds, overhead luggage     storage and flat-screen TVs. There is a reception area and a cafe  with     toilets and showers at the rear of the aircraft, which means that  you will     have to share! The upper deck is a conference room and the best of  all, the     cockpit, is where the wedding suite is housed. Not a very comfy  hotel I     would think, but staying there just to get a feel of it might be  cool. </blockquote>
