Some weird hotels

Berlin's Propeller Island City Lodge:
Each of the 30 rooms is weird in its own way.The artist-owner, Lars Stroschen, has seen to that.One room, the first built, is made to look like a brightly painted medieval town, with an ultra-mini golf course surrounding the castle bed.They have coffins to sleep in and other furniture that is on the ceiling.Then theres a room that resembles a prison cell.

Hotel De Vrouwe Van Stavoren:
The richly worn and airtight oak barrels have two narrow beds, with a small sitting area outside. The grounds are quite close to tiny Stavoren's harbor, which was a major port in the Middle Ages. This one is up on the recycling area.

Hang Nga Guest House and Art Gallery:
The three main buildings are Gaudi-esque concrete tree house-like growths that appear as if they flowed organically out of the ground.You can feel at home in this hotel.The walls seem to dissolve into the floor, and right angles are avoided entirely.

Hotel Costa Verde:
Have you ever wanted to stay in a 747 jet, well now you can. In this hotel the rooms look like a crashed 747 jet. So if you would not like to crash here(ha ha) then this probably is not the place for you.

Capsule Hotel:
Colored bright-orange for easy visibility, the '70s-era escape pods that make up the Capsule Hotel once hung outside oil rigs, ready to be deployed in case of an evacuation. If you have ever wanted to escape then this is the place for you. This escape pod is designed by a garbage architect. So it is all about recycling.

Cape Town:
This hotel is a penthouse that is a trailer park.The aluminum-clad "rooms," which sleep two people, have been done in playful themes that incorporate icons like "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". That gives this hotel so sort of class to it even though it is a trailer park.
