THE CRANE HOTEL,

, The 150ft 1960s fully-rotating crane has been a fixture of historic Harlingen’s skyline for quite some time, and it was in 2003 that the industrial monument was restored and renovated to make it into a hotel. Now you can not only find comfort high above the ground, but also experience the power of more than 143,000 pounds of steel at your fingertips, because you control the crane., Netherlands vuurtoren-harlingen.nl

WIGWAM MOTEL,

, Ok, this is hardly a 5* hotel, but we simply couldn’t not include it in this list of totally bizarre places to stay around the world. Think Glasto meets hicks-ville USA – park up by your personal Tipi for a truly extraordinary experience. Beat-up mustang optional., wigwammotel.com

CAVE HOTEL IN TURKEY,

, This incredible hotel is more like a children’s fairy tale than a real place, but real it is! The caves have been around for hundreds of years and are now elegantly decorated inside for visitors. They look out over a huge mass of Cappadocia, gorges full of pinnacles like clusters of spears; and Mount Erciyes lightly topped in snow. The sky is almost always full of hot-air balloons for a really unique feeling., cappadociacavesuites.com

LIVE IN A WORK OF ART,

, The Art-Hotel Atelier sul Mare Each room is a complete work of art in itself, and each unique room has its own mood. You can choose from The Prophet Room – Tribute to Pier Paolo Pasolini (1995) and many others on offer. The Atelier sul Mare is an unconventional mixture of a hotel and a permanent museum of contemporary art. The creation of 20 of the 40 bedrooms was entrusted to artists of international fame; the result being unique masterpieces which you can really live in., ateliersulmare.com

DAS PARK HOTEL,

MONTANA MAGIC MOUNTAIN LODGE, CHILE,

, Originally a place for friends to stay while they enjoyed the hunting and fishing resources of the Hulio Hulio reserve, the name is from a favourite book of the owners. The story describes a mountain that has magical powers and grants wishes – The Magic Mountain. With a waterfall cascading from the pinnacle of the roof, the lodge is indeed a very special place and the inside is surprisingly luxurious., huilohuilo.com

GROWN-UP TREE HOUSES,

, Free Spirit Spheres in Canada are a truly wonderful experience, set among the tall trees of the west coast rainforest of Vancouver Island, Canada. These tree houses are for adults only, the handcrafted spheres are suspended like pendants from a web of rope. They occupy a truly unique place in the world while providing a habitat for the un-tamed spirit that exists in us all., freespiritspheres.com
