Every morning you can watch a funny picture here: giraffes are allowed out for a walk, and the windows in the boarding house are specially open for this time, and everyone can treat the graceful animals with some fruits from their table, as well as take an exclusive photo for memory. Little travelers are especially delighted with such a start to the day.

A unique manor house was built in 1932 by David Duncan, having chosen a place for it near the capital of Kenya, Nairobi. In the 60s of the last century, the estate changed several owners, until in 1974 it was bought by a hereditary nobleman from the ancient Scottish family Jock Leslie-Melville, who settled here with his wife, an American citizen Betty.

This philanthropist is famous for founding the African Endangered Species Foundation (AFEW). At first, Jock and Betty had two cubs of Rothschild giraffes, and over the entire existence of the estate, several generations of these beautiful and noble animals have grown on its territory.

The idea of \u200b\u200baccepting tourists who want to live in it for some time on the territory of the estate was realized by Betty after the death of her husband, and now the Giraffe Manor hotel enjoys constant success among all travelers in Africa.

There are six rooms in total, so it is never crowded here, and the interior of the house is decorated according to the model of Scottish hunting lodges.

Many tourists come here not for the first time with children of different ages and stay for a week. Therefore, in the morning, while feeding the animals from the hands through the open windows, the entire old estate is announced with enthusiastic cries and iridescent children's laughter.

The castle, unfortunately, is in a very deplorable state, but every year - from May 1 to October 1 - tourists from all over the world come here to inspect the cells where political prisoners and war criminals were sitting.

The service here is quite original: guests are dressed in prison clothes, all personal belongings are confiscated and, wearing obligatory handcuffs, they are escorted to the cell along the semi-dark corridors.

The internal situation in these casemates has not changed for many years: all the same shabby bunks, tiny windows with indestructible bars, a prison menu of bread and water, and staff dressed in the uniform of guards.

One cannot dream of any kind of friendly attitude. Nevertheless, guests gain a valuable experience here - thanks to the fact that an invisible time machine transports them from the present day to the distant past, which has long become history.

Guests have the opportunity to fully experience the atmosphere of that time, which is facilitated not only by the gloomy walls of the underground chambers, but also by the carefully restored entourage - Chekist leather jackets, captured faceted glasses and portraits of the classics of Marxism-Leninism on the walls.

If you wish, you can stay overnight and listen to the heartbreaking cries of the "interrogated", and if you are very lucky, you can meet the ghosts of former prisoners.

4. Utter Inn underwater hotel, Lake Mälaren, Sweden

In Sweden, not far from the small town of Vasteras, on the picturesque Lake Mälaren, there is a unique hotel Utter Inn.

Mikael Genberg, a Swedish artist and sculptor, invented and brought to life such an unusual construction. He decided to create an unusual hotel and built several exotic modules for extreme relaxation.

For the first time such a hotel was launched and explored by the first guests in the early summer of 2000. The weather was windy and cloudy, but the guests were satisfied with the rest, although it would be a stretch to call the floating house a three-star establishment.

The Utter Inn is modeled after a traditional Swedish cottage called stuga, which is painted mostly bright red. Mikael managed to realize the Swedish dream - to build a stuga far from civilization.

The bedroom is at a depth of three meters. The underwater part is equipped with huge windows, but do not expect to see something original, since behind them is a cold lake, and not the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean teeming with inhabitants.

Those wishing to retire in extreme conditions are registered in the town of Westeros, and then they go by boat to their place of residence. The personal hotel is located a kilometer from the coast.

In the upper part, protruding above the water, there is a small kitchen, dining room and toilet, and a terrace around the perimeter. Downstairs - a bedroom with two beds and a table.

If you are lucky with the weather, an exciting fishing trip awaits you. You can take a boat trip on the lake or just admire the scenery. Dinner can be delivered upon request.

Fans of bright interiors will appreciate the “orange” room, where all objects are painted in the appropriate color.

Lovers of close attention can stay in a room called "Museum". An abundance of pictures, frames and a bed with illumination are attributes sufficient to make you feel like an outlandish exhibit.

There are apartments where lovers of Gothic, Middle Ages and horror films about vampires can sleep with pleasure in a comfortable double coffin.

The number "Upside down" is also impressive. The ceiling is occupied by tastefully "arranged" furniture, but below there is a complete absence of it. However, one has only to pull on a special cord - and the bed or table will immediately appear from the floor.

Those who dream of sleeping in the sky will love the Clouds Room. She is distinguished by the clear lines of a comfortable bed, light parquet flooring and huge paintings of clouds floating in the blue sky.

Those wishing to feel the spirit of freedom are provided with a room in the form of a prison loner, with a small hole in the wall through which the “breeze of freedom” seeps through.

Such a riot of creative thought awakens erotic fantasies in some of the guests. The owner himself has nothing against such a development of events, but reminds that his brainchild is not only a hotel, but also a work of art. Therefore, guests are warned about the obligation not to break or spoil anything in a fit of passion.

Every year in mid-January, the grand opening of the newly built hotel is held with lavish fireworks, fakirs and orchestral music. The boarding house works only for three months and disappears naturally, warmed by the rays of the warm spring sun in April.
