Travelling and admiring the wonderful places in the world is a passion for many and an opportunity to enrich our lives with experiences.
What often allows us to choose the right destination is also the hotel where we stay, in which we seek all the comforts we prefer. Around the world, hotels have also been built that not only offer us all the comforts we desire, but also attract us with their quirky features, hotels built in such a way that they are themselves a tourist attraction.
Here for you the ranking of the 10 weirdest hotels in the world!
10 - Earthship Biotecture, Taos - United States

The houses are well cared for, furnished in Zen style, full of flowers and colourful details, all immersed in the wild nature of South America.
9 - Seaventures Dive Resort, Pulau Sipadan - Malaysia
Photo by FelixlvhForthose who like to dive and observe underwater landscapes, this is the ideal hotel. It is a diving resort, built stilt-style on the water. It doesn't promise any great comforts: what it does offer is the chance to get up in the morning, put on your diving suit and oxygen tanks and dive straight into the sea with a simple jump, to find yourself surrounded by a beautiful coral reef guided by professional instructors!

8 - Blu Cave Castle, Negril - Jamaica
This very unusual hotel reproduces an ancient fortress built overhanging the sea, complete with crenellated towers!
At the entrance, a magnificent green lawn welcomes tourists, who can admire the landscape and the sea from splendid terraces and dive into the water directly from steps made of stone, which descend from the rooms.
7 - Woodlyn Park, Otorohanga - New Zealand
Founded in the last century as a farm, over the years it has been transformed into something incredible! In fact, the owners have built rooms and suites inside a US plane, a ship moored by the park and inside a structure called the Hobbit hotel that faithfully reproduces Frodo's house.
A perfect destination for a family trip and to keep the kids entertained.
6 - Train Station Inn, Tatamagouche - Canada
The peculiarity of this hotel is that it is a train station!
The rooms are located between the station building and the train, whose carriages have been converted into suites with all the comforts. There is also a restaurant car and the staff are dressed like real stationmasters, complete with hat and whistle. All around, lots of nature and the chance to admire it from the'terrace car'!
5 - Hang Nga GuestHouse, Dalat - Vietnam
Photo by ruben iThishotel is really weird! It is built in a'fantasy' style, with rooms in caves, tree houses and wooden houses.
It is a very fun place especially for children, as there are stairs and ladders, bridges and hidden rooms that really stimulate the curiosity of the little ones! Everything is entwined with branches, leaves and lianas, a sight even for older children, who will be a little disappointed, however, as the hotel doesn't really offer all the comforts.
4 - Treebones Resort, Big Sur - United States
Photo by Peretz PartenskyTreebonesResort looks like an Indian village, with circular tents made of wood covered in fabric and tree houses, surrounded by nature with a beautiful view of the sea.
There is also a bar-restaurant area with a swimming pool, offering not only the opportunity to take long walks in the surrounding woods, but also a swim in the pool for those wishing to relax.
3 - The Five Hotel, Paris - France
The lowest step of the podium is located in Europe, in Paris, and is a perfect hotel for couples, particular for its imaginative design; the rooms are small but comfortable, with a beautiful view of the city. The beds are adorned with flowers, and there is a led light system in the rooms that creates a very romantic atmosphere, thanks also to the colourful walls and modern but very sophisticated furnishings.
2 - Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin - Germany
One step away from the gold medal, we stay in Europe if we want to stay in the second weirdest hotel in the world. The peculiarity of this hotel is that each room is furnished in a different style: from total white, to psychedelic with walls completely covered in mirrors, to rooms furnished with furniture hanging from the ceiling, rooms with beds inside coffins and rooms with beds inside cages. In short, there is something for everyone!

1 - Hotel Costa Verde, Manuel Antonio National Park - Costa Rica
Photo by GotaneroLet's get on a plane and fly to Costa Rica to stay... in a plane! Yep, at the top of this ranking is a hotel built in and around a plane, evidently put there and not crashed! But that's the feeling! Because everywhere there are branches surrounding the rooms, animals live in symbiosis with the visitors and the hotel is in the jungle, but still close to the sea.
