So weird...but fabulous!

I love to travel. I am actually a compulsive traveler. But unfortunately I always end up staying in the same old boring hotels. But after seeing these awesomely cool yet weird hotels across the world..I wonder..Why cant we have such places here? If nothing else, the tourism of the country will get a boost. Check it out and let me which was is your favorite. Mine is "upside down room" but I am sure staying there will end up making me dizzy;)






Upside Down - Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin

The rooms are created by German artist Lars Stroschen with the aim of altering guests' perceptions, something this "upside-down" room certainly achieves.




Das Park Hotel, Linz, Austria
Who would have thought concrete could be comfy? These renovated sewage pipes are, thankfully, clean and functional and sit on the banks of the Danube, making them a perfect post-industrial bolt hole.





Wrapped - Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin
Other rooms in this "living work of art" allow guests the chance to sleep in a padded cell, under Nordic runes, or down a mine shaft.





Two Lions - Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin

The hotel offers themed abodes ranging from the tame to the extreme. The Two Lions room, complete with cages, has a two-way mirror into the next room for real exhibitionists.





The Mirror Room - Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin

Ever wanted to sleep inside a cage, upside down or underwater? Here is a selection of unusual hotels from around the world for when a standard room just won't do.






The Dog Bark Park Inn, Idaho, USA
Sleeping in the doghouse is no bad thing at this bed & breakfast, imaginatively set inside a 12ft beagle. Created by a pair of "chainsaw artists", the lodgings benefit from a cozy alcove in the dog's muzzle.





Gruft - Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin
Deep sleepers should perhaps avoid the Gothic beds at this unique hotel in Berlin – or just opt for a less terrifying bed in the "labyrinth" part of the room below.






Hostel Celica, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Travellers who want jailtime without compromising their sense of style should also check out the clean lines (well, there are lots of bars) at this converted prison in Slovenia.
