The concept of hotels has evolved over time as hoteliers seek to provide a unique product to cater to the varied needs and desires of visitors. There is now a growing number of creative accommodations available. Many people are no longer interested in the traditional accommodations and stay at hotels that some may describe as bizarre and quirky. The oddball hotels may help quench their thirst for adventure. You just might be inspired to stay at the five hotels on this list. 1. Salt Hotel Luna Salada Hotel is located at the edge of the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, which is the world’s largest salt flat. This hotel offers a unique setting as almost everything including the furniture, floors and walls are fashioned from salt. The salt blocks are made from compressed salt obtained from the large expanse of salt. The local people are experts at crafting these items from the abundant natural resource. The calm, relaxing ambience and panorama views of the salt flats are just what some visitors want. This hotel is like a beautifully crafted piece of art. There are other salt hotels of its kind in Bolivia. 2. Magic Mountain Hotel The Hotel Montana Magica Lodge, also known as the Magic Mountain Hotel, is a beautiful establishment found deep within the Chilean rainforest. With such a fairy-like name, this hotel has a waterfall cascading from its top, is covered in moss and plants and is shaped like a volcano. It truly resembles a hobbit home. The hotel sits in the heart of the 300,000 acre biological reserve. The hotel is only accessible via a cable bridge that leads to the front door. 3. Ice Hotel Fans of the cold should definitely visit the ice hotel in Sweden. It is the world's first and most famous icehotel. Every winter, artists from the town come together to build this Arctic wonderland with sculptured ice from the Torne River. During the spring, the hotel melts away and visitors have to wait till the next winter. The rooms are made of ice blocks and they include platform beds and thermal sleeping bags on beds covered in reindeer hides. The ice blocks are hand carved by international artists. There are also permanent buildings and suites now at the ICEHOTEL 365 which, as the name suggests, are available year-round.  4. Tree Hotel Lovers of nature look forward to visiting the Tree Hotel which is nestled in the pristine wilderness of the Lule River valley in Lapland, a region in northern Sweden. It combines nature with modern architecture. The Tree Hotel, which consists of seven completely unique treehouses, gives visitors the option to spend the night high above the ground with a stunning panoramic view of the forest. The Mirrorcube is the most famous of the rooms. With mirrored walls that reflect the environment, the Mirrorcube is a thrilling hiding place among the trees. If you ever wanted a treehouse as a child, here’s an opportunity to fulfill that dream as an adult. 5. Manta Resort Underwater Room Just off the coast of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean is the Underwater Room at the Manta resort. This floating glass cube enables visitors to be fully immersed in the water, where the manta ray and many other species of fish swim by. It includes three levels which are the landing deck, where people are dropped off and include the lounge and bathroom, the top floor with beds and an area to relax during the day and night and the submarine room where the underwater world awaits.
