Unusual Hotels

Introduction

My intention was (and is) to slowly, but gradually, build my own collection of links to Unusual Hotels whenever I would add a post in my category Unusual.

I used to embed a simple Delicious Script here to embed my links in Delicious to unusual hotels. Until Delicious was taken over (again) and renewed its site and changed its url from .us into .com in September 2011. Then I believed I had to think of something else and started to create some links manually here.

However, somewhere in December 2011, it turned out that the script I had left here embeded (actually by accident) was reactivated by Delicious and works again.

My links (manually)

And from here the script:

Talking about unusual: you can stay in a hidden church in the heart of Amsterdam. It dates back from the times that Catholics were forbidden to practice services. So they hid their churches in attics and alleys. It has been restored and is now in use as a extraordinary studio apartment.

A few weeks ago we stayed at the Midland Hotel in Morecambe (UK). The town isn’t much of a place, but when the hotel sets the standard, it will be in the future. Best place we’ve been for a long time. Best advise: book one of the suites on the top floor.

If you want a unique experience, check out our new Stayokay Rotterdam hostel. It’s located in the world famous Rotterdam Cube Houses, where no angle is straight and no two rooms are alike.

The Cube Houses were designed by the Dutch architect Piet Blom and were built between 1982 and 1984. The unique architecture has been an attraction for tourists from the Netherlands and abroad for 25 years now. In December 2009, the Cube Houses became the most modern of Rotterdam’s listed buildings.
The expressive and colourful cube-shaped houses on concrete pillars are located right in the heart of the city, near the Old Harbour. All forty-nine rooms, with a total of 245 beds, are equipped with their own shower and toilet. No two rooms are alike. The light is different everywhere, as are the dimensions and the view from the Cube Houses. In some rooms, the walls slope towards you, whereas in others, they slope away from you. In order to accentuate the cube effect, an extra cube hangs in the platform of the main building, its tip pointing downward. Four catwalks and a lift bisect this cube and connect the floors. Spending the night in a tilted cube is quite a unique experience!

Dear Sir,
I would like to recommend this hotel.
This is a little gemstone of a hotel with its unique style and distinctive feel.
You certainly wont find anything similar to this hotel with its friendly owners, the art on the walls, the location near Monaco and the beautiful beach with its lounge style nearby.
Its like walking into someones house, and you feel part of it,with its relaxing and laidback atmosphere and unique interior. This is a hotel for someone who likes the good life, without the pretencious, snobbish `seen it before’ typical hotel.
its my third time here and certainly not the last

Hiya, really like this blog, we have similar interests about hotels, though I see yours is much more international than mine, I tend to stay focused on UK tourism and hotels, although I particularly like the hotel you linked to in Linz Austria, it looks a bit like some of the “Glamping” destinations that I worked on. Check out my blog, you might like the Glamping article as it’s also kind of unusual accommodation! Look forward to reading more of your posts!

We have very strikingly modern cottages in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, Queensland, Australia, -called Glass on Glasshouse. They were designed so that when you walk in you go “Wow”. Most country cottages are cluttered-up and twee or just ‘nice’. But we employed an architect who was influenced by the famous German-American modernist architect Mies Van Der Rohe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Mies_van_der_Rohe). These are probably the closest thing to a design hotel in the Queensland hinterland. You can watch the wild kangaroos and admire the awe-inspiring Glass House Mountains through floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
