"Novelty Seeking" Tourism

Research says that a growing number of travelers are choosing "Novelty" vacations. Are you one of them?


How about booking a stay at these rooms that were made from unused sewer pipes? If so, check into Das Park Hotel in Austria.

Maybe a capsule room when you stay in Japan?

A refurbished 1965 Boeing 727 airframe is now part of the Hotel Costa Verde in Costa Rica. I wonder if the bathroom is teeny-tiny?

The '70s-era escape pods make up the traveling Capsule Hotel in The Netherlands. Red-Alert not included.

The four enormous casks on the grounds of the Hotel de Vrouwe Van Stavoren in The Netherlands once held almost 20,000 bottles of wine. I bet the room has an oakey flavor (easy pun, sorry).

I'd totally stay in a chocolate hotel. Wonder if there is one somewhere. For more go to Unusual & Unique Hotels of The World
