Some hotels go above and beyond in giving guests an unforgettable experience. From a hotel made entirely out of ice to a resort that's underwater, join me as we count down 15 hotels that are much different from the norm.

| Don't lick the walls! Oh wait, I already used that quote. |

True to its name, this hotel is made entirely out of ice. Because of this the place melts every year during Summer, but when Winter comes back around local architects sculpt the building all over again.
#14: Jules Underwater Lodge
| If you want this your, you gotta scuba dive for it! |

#9: Bertram's Hotel

This hotel was built out an old double decker bus. The interior is decorated to look like it came right out of the 1950s.
#8: Attrap' Reves Dome

#2: Hang Nga Guest House
 |
| Is this a hotel or a hiding place for fairies? |
Place of business: Da Lat, Vietnam
This hotel features a crazy design that makes it look like it came from a fairy tale. The rooms it has are made to look like hobbit caves and each one has its own theme.
#1: Hotel Marqués de Riscal
 |
| Modern art at its most live insideable! |
Designed by Frank Gehry, this luxury resort combines square geometry with wavy roofs to create a very unique building. The interior is just as amazing, featuring tilted walls and zigzag windows among other curiosities.
If you're looking for a place to get away to when this accursed pandemic ends, I think this list might be useful. If you know of hotels you think should've been on this list, the comments section is your friend. I'll see you later. Have a good day or night depending on what time it is.
