How do you choose where to go on vacation? Usually the decision is based on what you want to do and see, for example, “spend a week by the ocean” to enjoy swimming and sunbathing, or “see Mayan pyramids,” or maybe “climb the Eiffel Tower.” However, sometimes it is worth going to a place just to live in a tree, in the desert or in a wine barrel! Today we will tell you about 10 unusual hotels that can become the main highlight of your vacation, even if you only spend a couple of nights there.
Hotel in a tree, Vietnam
This hotel in Dalat is called Crazy House and lives up to its name.

Next to the main “stump” there are small, also fairy-tale huts, built, as well as various ornate paths, ladders and absolutely crazy art objects. If you are going on vacation with children, then you definitely won’t have to think about what to do with them.
