However, the brightest memories of the President of the Club of Travel Club Mikhail Kozhukhova remained from all two incredible placeswhere one day he was lucky to visit.
Mikhail Kozhukhov told us about the most, in his opinion, unusual hotels in the world
... in the castle of Marquis de Karabas
The first is located in France. There is such a department number 17 there, he is the seaside charente, where the Marquis de Karabas once lived. Writer Charles Perra once met him in Paris and as a result this nobleman became the prototype of the hero of the famous fairy tale "Mr. Cat, or a cat in boots." So, the castle of this Karabas was preserved, he was standing on an unshort one for a long time, while he did not bought one Italian family and did not breathe life in him (Private residential castle La Rosh Kurbon / Chateau de la Roche Courbon). There are several rooms equipped with a five-star hotel. The only minus is no kitchen. And when you stay there for the night, the castle, that is, his fence, lock, leaving guests alone.
It so happened that I was there with Vladimir Krestovsky, the leader of the group "Mind Tourman". This is absolute fantasy - feel like a master of the castle with all his dining rooms, huge tables, Marquisian utensils, leaders (there they have some kind of horse "graze" at night). And the castle is absolutely real - with moat, park, stone, with screw stairs and braces. Feelings are unusual, incredible. Despite the fact that this is not at all some insane money, the price is available to everyone who can afford the ride itself to France. For a week there is stupid to stay, and spend the night - a wonderful experience. And when the morning comes, the gate will decide and bring breakfast ... you feel almost Marquis de Karabas.

Room - Absolute Comfort, Rightly Covenant: Heated Mattresses, Copper Washbasins and Other Luxury Attributes.
Most of all shocked me that a book was lying next to the bed, and in it a note and postal envelope. It was a letter from the hotel owners of the following content: We offer you one of our most beloved books about Africa, hope you will like it. If you do not have time to read it until the end of your stay in our hotel, please send it to us by mail in the envelope that is attached. It is so touching! The highest manifestation of customer focus. And it is expensive. But it is impossible to save all my life on myself, and this is the high cost, which remains in mind forever, and throwing out some other broken TV that you don't feel sorry for those Istracted money, because emotions, impressions with you forever.

"Most recently visited East Africa, and the most extraordinary place of the night there was a small guesthouse in the National Park. Queen Elizabeth in Uganda. It was impressed that we were immediately warned: at night from the house, it's not a step, around full of wild animals, and the most dangerous - hypopotamas, they come out of the water and are in search of edible, often attack people. By the way, these animals kill most of all people in Africa, by no means lions or leopards. We saw one in the water, but at night really adventures were not looking for.
Randomly through the AIRBNB resource got into an incredibly traditional room, as in the films about Samurai. This minimalism did not meet anywhere else: in the room - only tatami (mats on the floor), built into the wall of the cabinet, from which mattresses for these tatami were stretched, there was a sliding door, almost cardboard walls - and that's it! "

Unusual hotels in the world - Southeast Asia
"Many dreams to live in a wooden house on a tree at the beach and pour under the noise of the surf. We also had such a dream, but after the first night in the Cambodian bungalow, we realized that it was not so romantic when the bitch mosquitoes would fly through the huge cracks, the wind brings the sand, and the toilet needs to go down to the ground. After the second night in such Robinzonovsky conditions we moved 200 m from the beach into standard comfortable conditions.
Two years traveled around Taiwan and spent the week in the tea meditational center. This is such a gathering of people who make tea. We woke up at dawn week, meditated an hour, had breakfast, then three hours led the discussions about tea, in the evening, again meditation and food (vegetarian). And once on Bali for 3 weeks they lived in the family estate, which reminded the temple complex with many chapels. This typical middle wealth has numbered several dozen people, in the morning they brought us food and generally created full comfort. But the feeling that we live in the monastery did not leave. "

Unusual hotels in the world - South America
"Last year, on the road from Argentina to Chile, crossing Andes, stopped at the foot of the Akonkagua Mountain (the highest outside of Himalayas, 6900 m above sea level). The only place for the night was the climbers camp: a place where equipment is prepared before climbing, things are preparing. In lowlands, we have been abandoned from the 40-degree heat, and here - frost, we put on all the clothes that was, stated to each other in order to warm up, but the worried is that there is a mountain queen. By the way, Kemp was close to the cemetery of climbers, and the dead demolished from the mountains regularly. "

It is located in the building built at the end of the 19th century, where once operated one of the first city cinemas. Movies are available to guests and to this day, exactly like jazz concerts in the restaurant of improvisations. The rooms are located in the attic and the ceilings they have transparent, so the day here is always light, and at night - romantic.

Unusual hotels in Ukraine come across even among the cleaner of the field: so, the unique complex of rural green tourism "FROUMUSHIKA-NOVA" is right in the steppes Odessa region. They come here to relax from the noisy city and annoying infrastructure, as well as to live in eco-khatka as Bessarabian Selyan of the 19th-early 20th centuries, and familiarize themselves with the ethnographic museum on the territory of the complex (like the metropolitan "Pirogov").

Hey everyone!
Once again, looking gorgeous, in my opinion, the film "Lighting", shot on the book of a cult writer, the horror king Stephen King, I thought about unusual hotels (of course in this article it would be not about such "unusual").
There were questions how many of them in the world and how unusual they are, are they in our country and what they need (and whether it is necessary at all) so that the usual hotel becomes unusual.
Let's think for a moment that for us means rest and what is needed to be remembered in the near Moscow hotel? We need a room in which we will live, food (preferably included in the price, for us it is important), entertainment, such as billiards, great, pool, and so on, like a bonus beach and arbors on the shore. Having said about the beach, I understand the summer.
In any hotel of the yakhont network you will find all the listed and even more.
But lately I began to notice that holidaymakers make more and more requirements and complaints. In my opinion, all this is spoiled by foreign resorts. Favorite phrase: "For the same money, I can go to Turkey or Egypt, in a 4-5-star hotel, where everything is turned on and also the sea." Honest word, it is waved to say: "What did you forget here then? If so bad here? " Or "Buddy, why compare candy with a cutlet? Return to reality and look at things soberly! ". All these resort countries live at the expense of tourism, it is developed there as I do not know that this train has been launched a long time ago, unlike our country.
What to say, the lion's share of the population adores innovations and unusual) crafts, barbershops, quest-rooms (they are quests-performs, pedestrian quests, quests with the use of modern technologies, quails-labyrinths and the like), anti-cafe and much more uses Mastiful popularity.
So, each sphere of our life gradually changes, someone likes it, someone is not very. Let's talk about the sphere of hotel business. What can she surprise us? Our homeland tries to keep up with modern trends and can also boast of unusual hotels.
I present to your attention unusual hotels of Russia:
Hotel at the stadium
Yes, everything is right) hotel at the stadium. Kazan is a wonderful city, suggests to settle in the eastern Tribune of Kazan-Arena. For football lovers, the best option is not found. The rooms window go straight to the football field. The world, of course, not surprise this, because there are similar hotels in the USA, Canada, but in Russia this hotel was first!)
Hotel at the Hermitage Museum
This hotel, of course, is not in the museum itself, but is its continuation. This hotel is located in St. Petersburg and amazes with luxury design. The number of rooms is designed in the Baroque and Rococo style, and the apartments will help move to the residence of Russian emperors, which gives an excellent opportunity to extend familiarization with the collection of the museum.
And what is the most interesting, this is the only hotel in the world, working under the museum brand. That's where we were accurately stood out) nice, right?)
Hotel "Dream Castle"
The hotel is located in Domodedovo and the numbering room foundation, which has only 6 numbers, is practically not a description. He looks like a truth as a dream castle (it is difficult to even imagine who will dream). Everything is not as scary, as you have already thought, but on the contrary, fabulously and unusual.
Here you can see the apartments stylized under the marine abode, the bed is made in the form of a huge white shell (sea shell, not a washbasin). But another number called the "garage", where the bed looks like a red convertible. And the "Heaven" number you will sleep on the bed in the form of a fluffy cloud, the "Senal" number will surprise guests in the form of a cart in sunflowers. It sounds interesting)
Chamber Hotel "Library"
This is my personal favorite! It is immediately clear that the books here are everywhere, you can read in your pleasure that you want, and Cherry on the cake is that you can exchange your book on any of the "library").
Rooms here are called "volumes" and are constructed in the motifs of classical literature. There are few numbers here, only 10 - you can find yourself in the work of the "Master and Margarita", in the Wonderland's Cymaker, to relax with the "Great Gatsby" or "Eugene Onegin", and also plunge into the summer along with the work of "Wine from dandelions "
Hotel-castle "Nesselbeek"
I decided to include this hotel in this selection due to its incredible atmosphere. Here you can truly visit the Middle Ages. Located "Nesselbeek" near Kaliningrad.
How do you look at to cross the sea and oceans, and find out what surprised? Drove)
Hotel Marmara Antalya
This hotel is comfortable in Turkey, on the cliffs Falez. If he just gets you in the picture, most likely you will think that this is the most ordinary Turkish hotel. But! This is the only rotating hotel. Flowing you will admire the view of the pool, and when you wake up before you will open a beautiful view of the sea. But on this surprises do not end. The three lower floors are completely immersed in water.
Hotel "Balancing Ambar"
This hotel is located in the UK and rightly is on the list of the most unusual hotels in the world. The length of the hotel is about 30 meters, 15 of which hangs over the slope. The charm of it is that the landscape varies as the plane sling. First, you admire the nature from the surface of the earth, which gradually reaches the level of crowns of trees.
Hotel "Magic Mountain"
The Chilean Hotel is reminiscent of the Dwarf's house or volcano, which covers juicy green plants, and the waterfall is rapidly descended from the top. It seems that this hotel was created by nature itself. You can get to the hotel only on the suspended wooden bridge. Rooms (all of them 13) are the names of birds living in the reserve, in which the hotel is located.
Hotel "PROPELLER ISLAND CITY LODGE"
This hotel can be found in the capital of Germany, Berlin. Two identical numbers you will not find here, every work of art. Here for example, one of the numbers is completely mirror, and you will go to another, there the floor is under the tilt. Here (if there is such a desire) you can spend the night in the present coffin or in bed, screwed to the ceiling. And if you want, you can stay in the room, which is an exact copy of the prison chamber. An amateur of acute sensations and to those who seem to be boring and sad exactly here)
La Villa Hamster Hotel
Left this hotel finally! I certainly not a special connoisseur of France, but here the French really surprised me. This hotel has only one room. If you ever wanted to feel like a hamster, then this is the most perfect option. In the room you will find a container with grain, a barrel of water, a bed on which it is possible to climb exclusively through the iron ladder, which hangs in the air. Designers thought out everything to the smallest detail, where did you see a hamster that would not like to run in the wheel? So here it is, if you become boring in it you can run (even together). Well, to quite feel like a hamster, so to speak to him in his skirt, when arriving, you will be given a hamster costume)
Everyone is looking for a vacation to taste, and the modern world makes everything possible for this. We are so different that someone will really be in the buzz in the room stylized under the prison chamber, someone sleep in a bed-cart, well, to someone to be a hamster (yes, I still do not let go of this hamster hotel) . But it is worth thinking that the "unusual" hotels are mostly taken by their unusual and atmosphere, and not a service.
And even "ordinary" hotels are trying not to lag behind and please our guests with service, facilities and entertainment. Yahonts are included in their number, we are developing, improving. Yes, Yahonts cannot offer you rooms on a tree or underground, but it can offer another, no less important ... Rest for the soul, in peace of mind, surrounded by native nature and fresh air. It seems to me that it stands dear.
Learn new, experiment, get better and never give up!
