1. 747-212B Plane in Sweden

A plane… hotel! Who wouldn't want to spend a night in the cockpit of a Boeing 747?

Now's your chance!

The hotel is an old Boeing 747 from 1976 that was built for Singapore Airlines.

It is located at the entrance to Arlanda Airport in Sweden.

 

2. Giraffe Manor – Kenya

The distinctive boutique hotel Giraffe Manor is located in one of Nairobi's most sophisticated buildings, and its timeless elegance is reminiscent of the 1930s.

With its impressive façade, magnificent courtyards, lush gardens, and elegant interior, guests often feel as if they are walking into the film Out Of Africa!

However, the most exciting thing about this unusual hotel is the herd of giraffes that visit every morning and evening, trying to poke their long necks in, aiming to steal a bit of your food!

 

3. TreeHotel – Sweden

We return to Sweden, and this time to a hotel created exclusively within nature and the treetops!

The Tree Hotel is located 5-6 metres above the ground with breathtaking views of the Lule River valley.

The Mirror Cubes – as the accommodations are called – are camouflaged by mirror walls that reflect the surroundings and the trees nearby!

The Tree Hotel was inspired by the film 'The Tree Lover'!

 

4. A Cruise Ship on Land – South Korea

From Sweden to South Korea and from the forest to the sea!

The Sun Cruise Resort is a luxury cruise ship that is actually located on land and offers its services as a hotel!

It is situated on Jeongdongjin rock – a tourist destination known for the best sunrise views in South Korea.

The ship-hotel has been built on the edge of a mountain to give guests strolling on the deck the sensation that they are almost at sea!

The Sun Cruise Resort features 211 rooms, a restaurant, an entertainment centre, and a seawater swimming pool – not bad at all, eh?
