00:3920. Hotel Costa Verde Fuselage Suit
00:43Just above the treetops where birds are nestled and jungle leaves rustle, sits an unlikely hotel that has won the
00:50hearts of all aviation lovers.
00:52Located just a few distance from the Costa Verde resort in Costa Rica, is a retired Boeing 727 that has
00:59been carefully placed at the edge of Manuel Antonio National Park.
01:03This amazing aircraft once soared through the skies, carrying passengers to their destination, but it encountered a major accident that
01:12put it out of service.
01:14Now with the innovative help of engineers and architects, this once damaged plane has been turned into a beautiful jungle
01:21suite.
01:22Here, guests can experience what it feels like to live in an aircraft without taking off.
01:28While the exterior of this masterpiece is impressive, the interior is equally breathtaking.
01:35Stepping inside, you might expect a normal plane setting with rows of chairs and aisle in the middle.
01:42Instead, the plane has been turned into a comfortable suite.
01:46It has two air-conditioned bedrooms, and each room comes with its own private bathroom.
01:52There's also a flat-screen TV, a bar, a kitchen with its own microwave, a dining area, and even a
01:59private terrace that gives a great view of the ocean.
02:03Apart from this, some of the furniture here is made of teak wood that was hand-carved all the way
02:08from Java.
02:09And if you ever feel bored, you can go into the cockpit and imagine yourself flying or take a walk
02:15round the pristine surroundings.

02:59Welcome to the Sky Lodge Adventure Suites, a hotel designed for thrill-seekers, mountain lovers, and anyone who thinks sleeping
03:06on solid ground is a little too safe.
03:09However, if you are not a fan of heights, you might want to pass on this one.
03:13Why? Because these pods are fully transparent and dangle 1,312 feet above the valley floor.
03:20Getting there isn't exactly room service friendly either. Guests have to scale a cliffside route called the Via Ferrata, or
03:28hike a trail packed with zip lines.
03:30Their reward.
03:32A futuristic capsule suite perched on the edge of nowhere.
03:36Each pod measures 24 feet long and 8 feet high and wide, leaving just enough space to move around.

03:50Inside, you'll find four snug beds, a dining area, and a private bathroom with a dry eco-toilet and a
03:57sink.

04:03Tiny vents help keep fresh air moving and the curtains allow guest comfort and privacy.
04:08There are only three pods on the mountain, housing just eight guests total.
04:14But inside, thick blankets, soft sheets, fluffy pillows, and warm quilts help keep guests warm and cozy, even with the
04:21cold air outside.
04:23Not bad for a hotel that is basically a window to nature from a mountain.
04:27Number 18. Montana Magica Lodge

28:10If it's a jungle villa or a treetop hideout, every room here is spacious and designed to blend in with
28:16nature.
28:17Each room comes with beautiful bathtubs, cozy daybeds, and a good view of the jungle or the Caribbean Sea.
28:25And surprisingly, each of the villas are without televisions and electric light.
28:30But that doesn't really matter because guests can spend their time swimming in the cenotes, relaxing on the beach, exploring
28:37the jungle and taking part in yoga and meditation classes.
28:41And it wouldn't be a wellness resort without an impressive spa.
28:46This spa is based on ancient Mayan rituals, but still offers services that are perfectly familiar to international spa goers.
28:54And the suites here are equally breathtaking.
28:58Some of the accommodations available are jungle villas, treetop houses, and beachfront bungalows.
29:04All rooms are spacious and well equipped with modern amenities and private balconies.
29:10And when it comes to fine dining a lot of options are available.
29:14You can eat at a fancy restaurant, grab a bite at the cafe on the beach, or have a drink
29:18at the poolside bar.
29:20Leaving the treetops, let's head out to this next destination with its shire-like charm.
29:27Number 4. Hotel Tapasoli, Mexico
29:31Hidden in the misty mountains of Zlitla, Mexico is a hotel that feels like it belongs in a fantasy novel.
29:37Fans of The Lord of the Rings will immediately recognize the shire-like charm of this hotel,
29:42where Hobbit-style and lush rainforest surroundings create a storybook setting.
29:47This boutique hotel in San Luis Potosi is designed to blend seamlessly with its natural environment,
29:53making it feel like the cottages are part of the jungle itself.
29:58With round doors, stone walls, and grassy rooftops,
30:02these cozy little homes are the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle.
30:06Every detail is thoughtfully crafted to help you relax and unwind.
30:11What makes Hotel Tapasoli so special is its simplicity.
30:15The cottages are warm and welcoming, with a focus on comfort that's hard to resist.
30:21Each space feels like a natural extension of the rainforest, blurring the lines between indoors and out.
30:28It's a peaceful, whimsical retreat where nature takes center stage,
30:32and every corner is thoughtfully crafted for relaxation.
30:36Each space feels like an extension of the surrounding rainforest, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.
30:43At the heart of the property is a vibrant garden, alive with tropical flowers and framed by the mountains beyond.
30:51A natural pool sits at its center, reflecting the forest surroundings and adding to the tranquil atmosphere.
30:59Here, mornings start with the gentle sounds of birds, and afternoons are best spent wandering the grounds or simply enjoying
31:07the peaceful environment with a book in hand.
31:15There are various hotels in Amsterdam that are all unique in their own way, but one particularly stands out for
31:21its color and stacked-out design.
31:23Known as the Intel Hotel's Amsterdam Zandam, this building looks almost like a real house puzzle.
31:30Not one made from cubes, but one made from nearly 70 traditional houses.
31:35Each of these houses is painted in different shades of green and comes with charming rooftops and white trim.
31:42While the hotel offers all the modern comforts you can find in any other hotel, it also pays tribute to
31:48the rich history of the Zand region.
31:50Each room is decorated with touches that reflect the area's roots, from traditional products to the hardworking people and families
31:58that helped shape it.
31:59It's a place where history is woven into the design without sacrificing comfort.
32:05Located on Provincialeweg, the hotel is a true landmark.
32:09Its 12-story tower is made to look like nearly 70 stacked Zand-style houses, some inspired by real homes
32:17from the past, including the Blue House, famously painted by Claude Monet in 1871.
32:23From grand homes to small cottages, each piece tells a story.
32:29Inside, there are about 160 rooms, a wellness club, free Wi-Fi and its own tourist information.
32:37There's also a Turkish steam bath, a swimming pool, Finnish sauna, and life fitness gym.
32:43So far, we've seen hotels in all shapes and sizes with some looking like sculptures and others towering close to
32:50the clouds, but this next one is invisible.
32:54Number 2, Mirror Cube at Tree Hotel Sweden.
32:59Mirror Cube is an almost invisible tree house tucked deep in the forests of northern Sweden, near the village of
33:05Harads.
33:06Suspended around a single tree trunk, this 4x4x4 meter cube is wrapped in mirrored glass, perfectly reflecting the trees and
33:14sky, and if you are not one who's keen to details, you might miss it.
33:19Inside the mirror cube, everything feels warm, calm, and close to nature.
33:24The walls and ceiling are covered in smooth, light-colored wood that gives the space a cozy cabin feel.
33:31Even though the cube is small, which is about 4 meters on each side, it was designed to include a
33:37double bed, a small lounge, a bathroom, and a water dispenser.
33:42Six windows give you amazing views of the forest all around, and one even looks up into the trees above.
33:50A tree trunk runs right through the middle of the room, reminding you that you're really up in the treetops.
33:56And now finally at number 1 is a hotel that tells stories of a forgotten era.
34:02Number 1, the Museum Hotel Antakya.
34:07Have you ever dreamt of going on an archaeological expedition but felt it was too dangerous or time-consuming?
34:12Then you might want to visit the Museum Hotel Antakya in Turkey.
34:17Located in Hatay, about 26 miles from Kislar Castle, this hotel is modern, elegant, and a little bit sophisticated.
34:25The hotel comes with large rooms, a spa, rooftop restaurants, and pools.
34:31But what makes this place so special is the archaeological excavation that can be found on the hotel floor.
34:38This ancient ruin was discovered by accident during construction.
34:43But instead of clearing it out, the owners spent over 10 years and a lot more money turning the whole
34:49project into something special.
34:51And with the innovative help of the engineers, it was transformed into this luxurious hotel we see today.
34:58This hotel has 200 rooms and 5 restaurants and bars spread across the property.
35:04And the rooms here are spacious and stylish, and are even decorated with mosaic-inspired decor and floor-to-ceiling
35:12windows that give an amazing view of the excavation site.
35:15Thanks for watching, see you in the next video.
