When you’re deciding on a trip, your decision on the hotel is likely made pretty quickly. Your holiday is about seeing the sights, and while where you stay is an important factor, it’s rarely the main event. 

But perhaps its time to rethink that idea. These days, there are many unique sorts of accommodations that can push your trip to the next level. Businesses are coming up with new ideas all the time to innovate and provide an authentic, novel experience for their guests, and in this short article, you’ll learn of three of the best types!

Treehouse Stays

For many, the classic hotel vibe can feel a little manufactured. If you want a more grounded, connected feel to the place you’re staying in, it can pay to replace your typical glitzy holiday resort with something simpler.

Treehouse hotels offer just that. These rooms offer you a peaceful night's sleep in as close a setting to nature as you can get, and whether you’re looking for something basic and rustic or a classy candle-lit room, there are plenty of options.

There’s also a wide breadth of possible locations for staying at a treehouse hotel, from being buried deep within the rainforest to positioned high above a local wildlife spot with stunning views of the local scenery. 

Zoo Hotels

For animal lovers, there’s no better choice than staying over at a zoo. These sorts of stays offer a truly immersive experience, allowing you to sleep close to the natural habitats of the animals. 

In these hotels, every morning is a treat: you’ll wake up to the natural hum of the jungle, and look out of your window to be greeted by the world’s most impressive and exotic species. Usually, the whole hotel is kitted out to provide an authentic experience, meaning you’ll also dine around the animals and experience them close up throughout the complex wherever you go. 

It’s great for those who want to combine a relaxing stay with a sense of adventure, and there’s really nothing else quite like it. 

Usually, the more extensive the complex the better the opportunities. Given that it’s home to 130 unique species, somewhere like "The Maryland Zoo" would make for an excellent choice.

Converted Castles

If you want a taste of the royal treatment, look no further than booking a stay at a converted castle. These sorts of holiday accommodations have recently become very popular, and it’s easy to see why.

Found mostly in European destinations, castle stays blend a grand, luxury sleep with a unique slice of history. Every castle is different, and your stay is usually completely tailored to the regal aesthetic, whether it be your meals, entertainment, and more. 

It’s one of the few types of hotels that truly allows you to soak up the atmosphere of a time long since past, so they always make for a stay you’ll remember for years to come. 

Wrapping Up

While traditional hotels have their place, today’s world offers much more in the way of bespoke accommodation. Consider thinking outside the box and trying something new for your next stay!
