There are treetop hotels in Costa Rica, Kenya and
other parts of the world where the hotels are built with very large living
trees making up a substantial part of the hotel structure. The Ariau Towers in
Brazil, near the city of Manaus is in the middle of the Amazon on the Rio Negro
and is a similar type of living tree hotel. Bill gates invested in the hotel
and had modern telephone / internet connections installed. The hotel has 288
units among apartments, suites (located in the towers) and tree houses. One of
the houses that deserves to be mentioned is the Tarzan House. It allows the
visitor to have an amazing view of the area. The house is built on top of a
living tree, at the height of 72ft from the ground.
Straight out of
Neromancer, but only for the Japanese as of yet, capsule hotels are an economy
type of hotel with extremely high occupancy density capabilities. Most capsule
hotel compartments are only about 2 meters by 1.25 meters by 1 meter. This
amount of space certainly gives one enough room to read or sleep, but not much
else. Of course if youve got wireless internet the possibilities are
considerably expanded.
Capsule hotels are not necessarily frequented primarily
by lower income people, but are used by many types of people for many different
reasons. For about $25-34 USD per night, a tired working person who stayed out
too late drinking and missed the last train can get a nights rest. There
are often discount rates for those wishing to nap for only a couple of hours
during the day.
There are several cave hotels throughout the world in
such places as Australia, Spain, Turkey, the United States and several other
countries. Rooms in cave hotels typically have the entire walls or even two or
three walls made out of the mountain or other hard sediment formation that the
hotel is built into.
There is one underwater hotel in the entire world that
can be reached without the aid of scuba gear. The Utter Inn located in Lake
Malaren, Sweden features one large room and visitors can simply walk down into
the hotel while viewing underwater. This same company also has an undersea
lodge in Key Largo Florida that does require scuba diving to reach.
