We return to the sea, with an underwater hotel, slated to be finished in 2010, but don’t hold your breath.

I also love the flowing lines this luxury Starwood Resort in Elciego, Spain. The architect is of course, Frank O. Gehry.

Or if you just want more than just a little local color, go to Kuala Lumpur for a rainbow-like stay. I think it looks like a child’s painting, full of whimsy.

If you prefer more action, nightlife and well, gambling then Las Vegas offers all sorts of strange hotels, with the most wierd.

Some prefer the sound of crashing waves and beach access. In that case check into the Skye Lighthouse, in Scotland.

In case you like a more aerie like environment we recommend a tree house in Costa Rica.

Right here in the USA in Cottonwood, Idaho, is the Dog Bark Park Inn which is in the shape of a gigantic beagle.

Weird but also wonderful are the Cappadocia Cave Suites in Turkey, carved during Hittite, Byzantine and Roman days, but now used as lodging.

White Cliffs in New South Wales will put you up in an underground hotel carved out as opal mines.

Perched near the Arctic Circle in Sweden, the Ice Hotel is, as you might guess, a hotel made of ice.
