The Ultimate Spiderman Fan Hotel Room

Where: 65 Athinas & Lykourgou St, Athens, Greece, 10551

The name of the Baby Grand Hotel alone conjures up elegant kind of jazz-on-a-Sunday evening images ... but that's not exactly what you'll find if you check into this Athens hotel. While it has some relatively normal guestrooms and suites, there are also 55 graffiti rooms, that the hotel itself describes in this way:

Each room is an individual piece of art... From fantastic street and Japanese art to simply spaced out fantasies. Running waters, mountains, forests, flowers, true fairytales, dreaming creatures, and legendary cartoon heroes decorate in the most unique way our 55 graffiti rooms.

This week, a UK Guardian review explained it in a slightly different way:

The result is a hotchpotch of wacky installations such as the two Mini Coopers in the reception and bedrooms walls decorated with cartoon characters. You wouldn't want to wake up there with a hangover.

But you probably would want to wake up in the Spiderman room if you were a die-hard Spidey fan.

Yet whatever your point of view, it's definitely a pretty unique place to stay. They also have the (laugh please) Meat Me Restaurant (surprise, surprise, they serve stuff like T-bone steaks and hamburgers here) and the Moet & Chandon Champagne Bar. But heed the warning about not over-indulging and then waking up in one of their kaleidoscopically crazy rooms.
