France has joined the hamster-mania circuit, by opening up a [Hamster Hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ontario-hamster-club). For 99 Euros ($148.10), you can [spend the night in a room](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrenight) that resembles a hamster cage. You eat, sleep, basically live like a hamster during your stay, spinning on the wheel, eating grain, drinking from the fountain, and sleeping in the hay! All decked out in hamster attire. So, if you are having second thoughts about purchasing a pet hamster for your child this Christmas, for your child’s sake, please don’t. Otherwise, they may grow up to be hamster deprived adults who act out in strange and unusual ways. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Hip Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/hiphotels) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hamster Hotels:** Opportunity for creating unique and immersive accommodation experiences inspired by animals. - **Hamster-mania Circuit:** Growing interest in hamsters as pets and the potential for niche businesses around them. - **Hamster Attire:** Emerging trend of animal-themed fashion and accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Opportunity to create themed hotels or accommodations inspired by animals. - **Pet Care:** Potential for specialized services catering to hamster owners and enthusiasts. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create animal-themed clothing and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [In-Hotel Human Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plufls.md) - [Luxury Pet Hotel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/very-important-pets.md) - [Holiday Dog Mascot Decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamlet-on-the-hutch.md) - [Barbie-Themed Luxury Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-limits-barbie-dream-suite.md) - [Luxurious Indoor Camping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-camping-experience.md) - [Human-Quality Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-quality-dog-beds.md) - [Luxury Monogram Doghouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-kennel-trunk.md) - [Plush Pet Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jellycat-dog-hotel.md) - [Personalized Pet Amenities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairmont-hotels-resorts1.md)
