Are Boutique Hotels Just Too Boring For You?

For some people, staying at a Marriott or Hilton Hotel is just too boring for their vacation - that's where the boutique hotel comes in, but for some - even a boutique hotel is just too "hotely".

For those travelers, we have our Unusual Hotels category here on HotelChatter, where we told you about the Ice Hotel, or yet ANOTHER one of Dubai's architectural wonders - the Wheel Hotel.

Afraid of heights? Ok, then what about a tent hotel, or the original undersea hotel in Key Largo, FL? The website Unusual Hotels of the World has over 21 different categories of weird and wacky hotel themes, from desert to treehouse to train to art museum.

UHotW is a user-contributed site which offers not only photos and reviews, but also pricing ranges for weird hotels throughout the world. It was started by two lifelong friends who decided to put together a list of unusual places, and now has a list of 140 locations in almost every nook and cranny of the planet.

They've even written a coffee table book with the 50 top unusual hotels, so even if you don't have a travel budget - you can immerse yourself in these unique and one-of-a-kind locations.
