We all love them. Long for them even. But how many of us are really prepared to take the risk on something different when you only get 4 weeks a year?
As we send out this blog to receive 200 auto-out-of-office-replies, we've found what must be the craziest hotels in the world that will certainly challenge the norm!
Fancy a staying in a 2 storey high dog in the middle of idaho? Well now you can by staying at the Dog Bark Park Inn. Think how much the kids would love it!
No, not your thing, well what about the largest treehouse complex in the Amazon Rainforest? The Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel is located 35 miles from Manuas, Brazil at the confluence of the Rio Negro and Ariau Creek. Built entirely at the level of the Rainforest Canopy, Ariau's towers are linked together by 4 miles of sturdy wooden catwalks.
What about something for people with a head for height? The Euromast tower is a feature of the skyline of Rotterdam, and has been a regular tourist attraction since it was built in the 60's - 100m's above the city, it houses 2 luxury suites ready for you to gaze across the architecturally wonderful city of Rotterdam.
And lastly, my particular favourite, ever felt like your holiday doesn't start until you get off that plane?! Well how about turning that on its head and staying in a converted plane with the ultimate in luxury? Once the transport for top bosses of the German Democratic Republic government, this 1960 Ilyushin 18 has been converted to a single luxury suite for 2. 40 metres long equipped with a Jacuzzi, shower, infrared sauna, mini bar, 3 plasma screens, full entertainment suite and more, it truly beats queazy-jet!
