Staying in a Rodent Cage
Hamster Hotel in France
An 18th century building in the French city of Nantes hides a unique suite called the "Hamster Villa". The guests of the Hamster Hotel can look forward to tasty hamster grain, refreshing workout in a giant wheel and comfortable hay stacks instead of a bed. The suite was designed by two architects who run a company which rents out unusual venues to adventure-seekers.
Cars, Cars, Cars
V8 Hotel in Germany
Stuttgart in Germany is not only an international center of car dealers. It is also home to the V8 Hotel, a car-themed hotel. All rooms and beds are made from various vehicles. The guests can thus sleep in everything from a Morris Minor to a Mercedes and enjoy the 'ride of a lifetime'.
Sleeping in Garbage?
Corona Save the Beach Hotel in Italy
In 2010 Italian Rome saw the opening of the first hotel made completely out of garbage. The hotel Corona Save the Beach Hotel was designed by artist HA Schult who used 12 tons of trash to build a structure featuring five rooms and a reception desk. The garbage was collected from beaches all around Europe and the purpose of building such a hotel was to raise awareness of mounting pollution.
