A
While traveling to a foreign land, or perhaps across the state, aren't you looking for something a little more adventurous,more luxurious (豪华的), and packed with facilities (设施) that you don't have at home?
Treehotel, Sweden
It was perhaps everybody's childhood dream to be able to have their own tree house.Now you can sleep in a specifically made hotel suite built atop a tree in the Harads in Boden Municipality, Sweden.The most unique rooms are the Bird's Nest, a room exactly shaped like a bird's nest,and the Mirrorcube,a hideout with reflective outside walls.The rate of each room starts from about $800 per night.
The Manta Resort, Tanzania
The Manta Resort in Tanzania is one of the world's only hotels with rooms placed below the surface of the ocean.By opening the curtains of your windows, you'll be able to see hundreds of fish swimming peacefully around your room.Want to go for a swim? Climb out of your room and jump in the clear water! For only $250 a night, you, too, can sleep with the fish.
Book and Bed, Japan
Reading before sleeping is something that many people do.Book and Bed, a 30room hotel in the heart of Tokyo takes advantage of this by conveniently placing a lot of books in shelves just an arm's reach away from your bed.The rooms at this hotel are small enough for a single adult.Reading to yourself to sleep in one of their comfortable rooms will cost only about $40 a night.
Tianzi Hotel, China
The largest image hotel in the world is the Tianzi Hotel in Hebei Province, China.The hotel is a description of the three ancient Chinese gods of Fu, Lu, and Shou — the god of fortune,prosperity, and longevity, respectively.To enter it, simply open the door located in Shou's right foot.The peach resting in the God of Longevity's left hand is a onebedroom suite with a perfect view of the busy city.Rates at the Tianzi Hotel start as cheap as $11 a night.
