These are some crazy hotels
What: The world's craziest hotels
When: Whenever you want to spend time at a crazy hotel
Where: Berlin, Netherlands, Vietnam, Key Largo, Costa Rica, Europe
Why: Because it's an amazing experience that you wouldn't want to miss
How: Travel to any of the locations
Propellar Island City Lodge has one room that is made to look like a brightly painted medieval town, with an ultra-mini golf course surrounding the castle bed and has furniture on the ceiling.
The Hotel de Vrouwe Van Stavoren is an old cask turned into a hotel
Hang Gva Guest House is a Gaudi-esque concrete treehouse-like growths that appear as if they flowed organically out of the ground.
Hotel Costa Verde is a 727 Fuselage Suite, a salvaged 1965 Boeing 727-100 that looks as if it's crashed into the Costa Rican jungle (it's actually mounted atop a 50-foot pillar and reached via a spiral staircase).
Capsule Hotel is made of '70s-era escape pods.
Grand Daddy Hotel is a fleet of 7 trailers. It's basically a mini trailer park.
I would want to stay in the Capsule Hotel because it just floats around wherever. There's no set place. I could go sight-seeing in the Netherlands because it's so beautiful.
