When picking a theme for a hotel, how far should you go? The Villa Mahapala Hotel in Bali, Indonesia, would tell you there's no room that should be left untouched by its theme: the zodiac.
On checking in, hotel guests are asked what their astrological signs are, and the staff quickly hurry to prepare the villa to include ornaments of the star signs above the bed, and place mugs with each guest's star sign in the bathroom and on the bedroom table. They also put out soap shaped like an animal from the Chinese zodiac, and all the decor has an astrology theme. At the restaurant, the staff serve drinks in glasses marked with the individual's western zodiac sign, and give out menus with suggested foods for each member of the zodiac. Even breakfast, which can be served next to your villa's private pool, comes with fresh juice in zodiac glasses.
The Villa Mahapala Hotel is a short walk from Sindu Beach in Sanur, Bali, with tons of shopping and restaurants in easy walking distance. And for those addicted to the Internet, there is free wifi at the hotel, as well as in various cafes nearby.
