My top favorite strange hotels

Hydropolis underwater hotel, Dubai

The Hydropolis was designed by Joachim Hauser and construction began in 2005, and it was due to be completed by the end of 2006, but there were some technical difficulties like design issues, and the rough sea
Hydropolis in Dubai is the world's first luxury underwater hotel.In order to enter this surreal space, visitors will begin at the land station. This 120m woven, semicircular cylinder will arch over a multi-storey building.

Hydropolis is taking shape 20m below the surface of the Persian Gulf, just off the Jumeirah Beach. The land belongs to His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, and was his last free beach property on this stretch of coast.
Hauser plans to incorporate many different elements associated with the sea. He views his creation as a place where those who do not dive, or do not even swim, can experience the tranquillity and inspiration of the underwater world.

The upper storeys of the land station house a variety of facilities, including a cosmetic surgery clinic, a marine biological research laboratory and conference facilities.

Ice Hotel, Sweden 

 Made of over 6,000 square feet of ice, it’s the largest ice hotel in the world. Guests ate provided with a specialized thermal sleeping bag on a bed crafted out of snow, ice, and reindeer skin.

The morning after a chilly night, a cup of hot lingonberry juice is brought to your bedside. With the temperature hovering around 17 degrees Fahrenheit, guests will want to pack on many layers, or

of course they can simply head out to the ICE bar and down some shots of vodka to stay warm.

Capsule hotel, Japan

And a small budget plan hotel, Japan gives you a a capsule hotel, the hotel room is crafted out of reinforced plastic and is inspired from a jetliner’s cockpit. All of the required amenities such as adjustable lighting, TV, radio, and clocks are kept within your reach and everything can be controlled while in a reclining position. The hotel features WiFi access, a café lounge, storage space and best of all no closing time, which means you can check-in and out as you please. 

The hotel is split into two units, one for men and the other for women.

The hotel takes the division pretty seriously as no men are allowed near the women’s area and there are plenty of signs as reminders for the men to keep their distance.

The average capsule hotel charges 4,000 yen (£17) per night which is quite cheap considering regular hotels charge anywhere between 8,000 to 12,000 Yen per night.
