On-On Hotel Offers History, Leo DiCaprio, and A Lousy Night's Sleep

Where: 19 Phang Nga Rd, Tumbol Talad Nua, Phuket, Thailand

All this week, HotelChatter's roving correspondent Claire Duffett will be reviewing several beach hotels that she visited during her trip through Thailand. Got questions or suggestions? Send them to us and we'll have Claire answer them for you.

On On Hotel’s name is a little deceptive because it isn’t technically a hotel. It’s more like the hostel from hell… and we mean that in the best way possible. Though we try to steer clear of hostel living, there are times when a place’s historical significance warrants an exception. Plus, we have a motto that always serves us well: If it’s good enough for Leonardo DiCaprio, it’s good enough for us.

Leonardo DiCaprio To Build Eco-Hotel in Belize

The rumor mill has been running this weekend on just what one of the hotel world's favorite guests, Leonardo DiCaprio, has got up his wealthy sleeve. Apparently he's taking his environmental passion to a new level and plans to open a new eco-hotel in the Caribbean.

DiCaprio already owns some jungle land in Belize and has allegedly struck a deal with the Four Seasons Hotel Group to build a green hotel there. The fine green details of what will make this resort a real eco-resort and not just a destruction of jungle haven't been released yet, but must be known because they're saying construction will start in January 2008. Word is that it'll be a super-luxury yet green resort, probably ready for a few of his Hollywood mates to enjoy a private vacation there. But seriously, check out his Eco-Site if you're still not sure if his green plans are for real.

Leo's Eco Hotel

According to reports, despite a nasty bottle cut to the face and neck, Leondardo Di Carpio is planning on opening an eco-hotel of the Belize Coast on a little island he just purchased.

"The Aviator" actor bought the 104-acre Blackadore Caye in the Caribbean sea, and is working with people from the nearby Cayo Espanto island to "develop an airstrip, infrastructure and top quality accommodation."

Huh, and all along we thought Johnny Depp was the one in Pirates of the Caribbean, oh well, since Leo is going to star in Aquaman this makes all the sense in the world--oh wait, that is only on HBO.

Leo is hoping to establish a luxury hotel that can make money without destroying the environment by using renewable energy sources and respecting wildlife and water resources.

We expect to see other environment friendly celebs like Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Larry David, and pretty much anyone else who drives a Prius in Hollywood, to visit.
