Magic Mountain Hotel

magic-mountain.jpg

Magic Mountain Hotel in the Huilo Huilo reserve, Chile, has a waterfall cascading down its sides — and the interior is just as strange. In Southern Chile there is not that many true four star hotels and above. Well, we found one. The Magic Mountain Hotel in the heart of the Huilo Huilo nature reserve. The architecture, combined with the forest setting, makes this truly a magical mountain. Full four star international service, in such a spectacular location, sets the Magic Mountain Hotel apart from all the other hotels we have visited in Southern Chile.  The realy funny thing is that the Magic Mountain hotel you see in the photo is possibly the least spectacular thing going on around the Huilo Huilo nature reserve in Southern Chile.  Huilo Huilo (sounds like Willow Willow) is more of region than a single town. It includes one of the largest privately owned natural reserves in Chile along with several nearby towns, lakes, and a volcano with year around snowboarding and skiing, and the river Fuy that is famous for its class 3-5 white water rafting and kayaking. The name sake of the region is the Huilo Huilo falls (salto del Huilo Huilo ). There is also a smaller, but no less spectacular falls Salto de la Leona (Lion falls). The Lake Pirihueico borders Argentina, and daily car transport ferry connects the international highway to Argentina. The Most of the land surrounding the lake is also part of the Huilo Huilo reserve.

The Capsule Hotel

capsule-hotel.jpg

Lose yourself in your own love bubble — The Capsule Hotel is a former oil rig survival pod moored in the Hague that comes with disco mirror ball, fairy-light decorations and silk-lined sleeping bags. What is a Capsule hotel? A Capsule hotel is a unique style of accommodation in Japan, inspired by the pursuit of efficiency of space and functional comfort, originating from the adaptive, creative spirit of the Japanese mind.
A typical Capsule Hotel is composed of two major sections; a public lounge space including bathing, and the other is a private space where the sleeping rooms (capsules) are arranged. The actual sleeping room is a capsule unit made of reinforced plastic and designed in the image of a jet airplane’s cockpit. In the capsule unit, all the required amenities are provided; TV, radio, alarm clock, adjustable lighting… almost everything is provided! Every device is within your reach and you can control everything in a sleeping position.

For the numerous business people working hard until after midnight and who miss their train, and for all the people coming to Tokyo on a short business trip, or holiday; young and old, men and women, a wide range of people stay at Capsule hotels in Tokyo. The Capsule Inn Akihabara is the best place to learn about the latest in
Japanese modern culture, direct from the people staying at our hotel!

Everybody that travels to Japan should experience this unique accommodation, at least once! One of the most unique accommodations in the world! Yeah baby!

Eco-Cave Resort

Cave Enthusiasts Will Like This New Eco-Cave Resort in India
There are Ice Hotels, Library Hotels, proposed Undersea Hotels, Hotels in Trees, on Boats and on Stilts. Hotels in Palaces, Farmhouses, and Tents.
But Guhantara may be a first:  A subterranean cave hotel 20 kilometers outside India’s Bangalore City.
Everything at this fantastical resort represents the powers of the earth. The entire place is carved out of rock, including the rooms (decorated with modern-day versions of ancient cave paintings).
There are intricate murals, enormous pillars, lobby, dining area, twisty darkened pathways past decorated shrines, open-air swimming pools — all cut from rock.
The cave hotel sits on three acres belted by a natural stream. There’s still more water that trickles down the face of a massive rock into a swimming hole fed by rainwater. For air and sunlight, the resort has many natural roof openings.
The entire place runs on solar power, and treated wastewater feeds the trees and lawns that insulate the underground complex. And in every corner are plants of all sizes.
But is the Cave Man thing still popular? Those ads worked for Geico but the ABC comedy got canned. So only time will tell if the Cave Men Travel Trend will take off.

Treebones: The Big Sur Hotel That Nearly Wasn’t

trebones.jpg

The odd thing about Treebones is that the owners never intended to build a hotel or resort of any kind. They bought the land there to retire on, and then discovered that new planning laws prevented them from simply building a house. And gradually the idea of the yurts developed–because they didn’t want a “normal hotel”–and Treebones as we now know it, 16 simple wooden yurts and a lodge–came to be. As you curve along Hwy. 1 up the Big Sur coast, you can’t help but indulge in the fantasy of having your own piece of oceanfront property. While that dream only comes true for a few, the unique Treebones Resort, hidden at the south end of Big Sur, can give you the illusion of living on a private estate overlooking the Pacific, at least for a few moonlit nights.

Crane Hotel

If the thought of a romantic break makes your head spin with happiness, then the hotel to consider is the Crane hotel, in Harlingen, about an hour outside Amsterdam. The machine room of this dockside crane has been converted into a luxury love-nest for two, complete with luxury bathroom. Even though they’ve fitted a luxury double shower and designer loo, most exciting of all, you can still ascend to the crane drivers cab and spin the crane around and around! A fantastic breakfast is included, delivered magically via the internal lift to your bedroom. A dockside crane converted into a luxury hideaway for two.
Only an hour by car from Amsterdam, or by train direct to the dockside (Dokkade) station in Harlingen, the crane has been the recipient of intelligent engineering and dedicated devotion rarely seen in a private home – let alone in a hotel property. Replacing the external ladders with modern lifts to gain entry, the old machine room in the body of the crane has been transformed into a luxurious bedroom that would not be out of place in the most modern of design hotels.
It is an out of this world property - staying here guarantees you stories to tell your friends!
Managers, Willem and Carla have managed to keep the existing observation windows and industrial feel, but have added comfort, warmth and the latest flat screen and audio equipment to create a fantastic environment to enjoy a boyhood dream for many – your own personal, WORKING crane. Even though they’ve fitted a luxury double shower and designer loo the crane can still swirl around controlled from the comfort of the drivers cabin.
Arrive promptly, and take advantage of the view, as rain or shine, this is a spectacular vantage point to view the old docks. With a crane at you disposal, you’re sure to find yourself spinning the platform instead of watching the supplied DVD’s.

The Madonna Inn, San Luis Obispo, California, USA

madonna-in.jpg

Garish but great fun, The Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo is the mother of all themed hotels. It boasts 109 rooms, every one of them individually decorated. Try the Caveman Room, all rock and animal prints, or the Bridal Falls, which features a huge stained glass window and a massive waterfall shower. There is a room with a stuffed buffalo head hanging above the bed, and one with a miniature mill structure. The Madonna Suite is another extravagant option, although newly-weds might prefer the aptly named Just Heaven or Cloud Nine rooms. For those not staying, dinner in the completely over-the-top bright pink Steakhouse is the next best thing. Some of it is a bit dated now (the hotel opened over 45 years ago), and it’s not exactly what you would call good taste, but there is no doubt the designers had a ball working on this one.
