Travellers directed to unusual lodgings
Travellers with a taste for unconventional holidays have been offered a guide to the ten most unusual places to stay around the world.
Giampiero Ambrosi, general manager of VirtualTourist, the online travel community whose members helped to compile the list, said that lodgings can often be an important part of the travel experience.
Top of the list of unusual places to stay is the Edisto River treehouse complex in the US state of South Carolina.
This is followed by the Celica Hostel in Ljubljana, Slovenia, which used to be a military prison, and the Schottenstift Monastery in Vienna.
Rounding off the top five are the Red Caboose Motel in Pennsylvania and Propeller Island in Berlin, which features upside-down rooms and levitating beds.
Other unconventional locations in the VirtualTourist top ten include the Schlosshotel Schonburg in Oberwessel, Germany, the Ariau Amazon Towers in Brazil and the Euromast tower in Rotterdam in the Netherlands.![]()
