The hangovers of Brazilian Carnival are still lingering after this past long weekend saw partygoers dancing and celebrating their way through South America's most exciting days--and if you think you want to be there next year, we want to recommend the Cocoon Hotel in Salvador, Bahia state.

The Cocoon already considers itself famous as "the first spaceship hotel" in the world. It's definitely got a wacky sci-fi look about it, and we think that puts it in a bit of a partying mode, which is just what you're looking for during Carnival.

There are just 27 rooms a the Cocoon, so get in early if you want a room for next February. And remember that it's quirky, not too expensive (rooms are usually less than $200 a night), and is frequented by a young and equally quirky crowd--put it this way, don't expect peace and quiet at Carnival time. It's one of those hotels where it's more than just somewhere to stay, the hotel is part of the sightseeing itself.

Cocoon Hotel in Salvador da Bahia claims to be the first ever "spaceship hotel", and we believe 'em.

We wish we were heading to Bahia right now.
