Hotel Costa Verde, Costa Rica

Nestled in the tree tops of Costa Riva, Hotel Costa Verde is unlike anything else you’ll find in the rainforest.

This repurposed Boeing 727 from 1965 is a 2-room guesthouse that is luxurious in every sense of the word.

Situated 50 feet up in the air, this hotel isn’t suited to anybody afraid of heights, but that shouldn’t matter – it is an amazing showstopper of a location!

The Bridewell, England

The Bridewell is an old jail that was once used to house the unruly and the troublesome, though now it just houses students and tourists.

Finn Lough Resort, Northern Ireland

Looking like a bubble about to burst, the amazing rooms are one of a kind.

These bubble-like domes give you an incredible view of the surrounding environment and you won’t need to worry about wandering folk invading your privacy.

You’ll have an unrestricted 180 view of the world around you and it’s perfect for late-night stargazing.

Jaffa Hotel, Isreal

As historical as they come, Jaffa Hotel is located in Isreal and is as sought-after as it is filled to the brim with history and tales to tell.

The first thing you see when you enter the hotel’s lobby is some wall art that dates back to the 13th century when the crusaders were in town.

Since then the site has been home to a chapel and a French hospital. It’s one hell of a place!

Kakslauttanen Resort, Finland

Ever wanted to live like an Eskimo for the day? Well if you travel up to Finland you can do just that and spend the night in an igloo, though it comes with a twist.

These modern interpretations of the classic igloo are covered with glass but still retain the memorable style that we all know as being synonymous with the igloo, though they’re a bit warmer.

The main attraction here is an unparallelled view of the Northern Lights from under the covers (in winter months only!).
