Two friends, who had spent many years visiting & promoting destinations all over the world both personally and for corporate activities decided to create a definitive guide for the many hotels around the world that offer their guests something unusual about their stay. Be it that guests stay underground, inside an igloo, up a tree or even underwater, Unusual Hotels of the World has set out to be the online location for travellers from around the globe to access information and subsequently book rooms at unusual hotels.

We believe it is the most comprehensive source for unusual hotels around the world and as such features a whole variety of hotel properties. Some of these properties are already known internationally, however many will be new discoveries to the majority of travellers.

Unusual Hotels of the World offers 'experiential' hotels. Staying there is worth the trip, which will often be long and arduous, and delivers the guest a memorable and hopefully enjoyable experience. Some are luxurious, some are not, and throughout the guide you will find a range of choices to suit the budgets of every traveller.

In terms of rates, many selected hotels offer such incredible value for money on a regular basis that they do not offer special rates. Unusual Hotels of the World permanently updates and features promotional deals and offers provided by guide hotels in its regular newsletters to registered users of the online guide. Sign up using the Sign Up form on the leftt and join our online community.

It is impossible for the creators of Unusual Hotels of the World to personally inspect all member hotels due to the vast number of locations included in the guide. We're getting round to as many as we can, but would be delighted to receive positive or negative feedback from hotel guests via our 'Feedback' section. If any hotel is receiving regular negative feedback we will discuss the issues with the hotel owners and consider temporarily removing the hotel from the site subject to changes being implemented that would rectify guest feedback.

All of the properties featured are personally selected by us and our network of traveller contacts from around the globe. If there are properties that you think we've missed, please let us know and we'll work to include them in future editions.

Co Founders of Unusual Hotels of the World
