MMmmm I would love to visit almost all of them. I wouldn't visit the ice-built hotel. No thanks, I'm not interesting to sleep on ice-bed. Haha
My first choice would be #9
9. Wild Canopy Reserve, IndiaWant your next holiday to really swing? Branch out at our favorite arboreal dwelling, the gorgeous Wild Canopy Reserve in southern India, and get a bird-eye's view of elephants, leopards, and even tigers roaming the deciduous forest below. Tucked away high in the treetops—at more than 41 feet above ground—you'll be well placed to admire the majestic wildlife gather 'round the watering hole. Happily, you needn't forego your own watering hole for the experience; these rustic tree house accommodations are indeed equipped with toilets and running water—there's even an outdoor Jacuzzi on the grounds that's a perfect spot to relax between trekking and safari outings.
My second choice would be # 5
5. Taprobane Island, Sri Lanka If seclusion and romance is what you crave, it doesn't get much better than a fabled Palladian-style mansion set on a 2.5-acre island. Built by a count in the 1920s and visited by kings, queens, and aristocrats, this dream vacation home can today be rented by anyone seeking a fairly-tale experience. Reachable only by wading through the shallow waters of Weligama Bay, just off the Sri Lankan coast, the octagonal-shaped villa boasts five en-suite bedrooms, shaded terraces and verandahs overlooking the Indian Ocean, tropical gardens, and a dazzling infinity pool. In a far-off corner of the world (with only the Indian Ocean between it and the South Pole), Taprobane Island offers timeless luxury, staff at your beck and call, and the chance to make a fantasy vacation a reality.
My third choice would be "Hobbit" hotel. Haha, I gotta check that out.
10. Woodlyn Park, New Zealand If you're looking for truly off-the-wall accommodations, look no further than Woodlyn Park, in Waitomo, New Zealand, where three different motels—a 1950s freighter plane (said to be one of the last Allied planes to leave Vietnam); a 1950s rail car that sleeps six; and a hobbit motel (allegedly the world's first)—dot the landscape of a working farm a few minutes from the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves. You can choose to sleep in the plane's cockpit or tail, the train itself, or the circular-windowed rooms of the hobbit hotel. Woodlyn Park itself is also the beneficiary of some renown, given it hosts the Kiwi Culture Show, a unique New Zealand attraction involving sheep shearing and interaction with native animals.
My 4th choice would be....#6
6. The Lighthouse, North Wales Set on the Welsh cliffs of Great Orme Country Park, with a dramatic 360-foot plummet to the sea below, this castle-like maritime beacon dates from 1862—and served as a lighthouse until 1985. Its three distinguished rooms are, not surprisingly, blessed with stellar sea views, and evocative, seaworthy names like the Principal Keeper's Suite, the Telegraph Room, and the Lamp Room. Inside, traditional Victorian interiors, original pitch pine shutters, antique furnishings, and historical journals and photos combine to create an atmospheric hideaway. But, should you tire of the solitude, the town of Llandudno, with its pubs, restaurants, and shops, is just two miles away.
Last... I don't mind try number.... 7
7. Utter Inn, Västerås SwedenWould-be mermaids and mermen rejoice: The Utter Inn, a one-room hotel lying three meters below the surface of Lake Mälaren, about an hour west of Stockholm, will have you sleeping with the fishes. Reachable only via inflatable boat, the basic room (which consists of twin beds, a table, and panoramic underwater views of the lake) lies in the depths beneath a floating red house, and overnighting here is tantamount to spending a night in an aquarium. Should you need to surface for air, you can paddle across to a nearby uninhabited island and spend the day sunbathing, fishing, and swimming.
Anything else doesn't spark my interest....
