Sleep in a Plane, Prison, Museum, Rugby Ball or Glowing Igloo

A treehouse hotel? Sleeping in coffins? A vacation in an abandoned airplane? With bizarre global hotels like these, you’ll never have to worry about taking a memorable trip.

When the hotel IS the experience, you’re taken to a different level of adventure, whether you’re into vacationing with monks or challenging your ability to survive without luxuries in a zero-star hotel. These bizarre global hotels force people’s minds off the everyday—and with the economy-induced gloom this year, a mental escape might be just what people need.
