Almost all five-star hotels provide their customers with world-class luxury and much-needed customer attention in exchange for any credit cards, especially the ones without a credit limit. However, in this article we will be putting aside the luxury factor a bit and try to get a little more intimate with the uniqueness of the hotel’s location & operation and the intriguing creativity fueled into their designs which make them way better places to stay in, even if you’re on a vacation or just looking for a place to stay while you’re in the city.
I’ve used my own discretion to choose between the hotels that would give anyone a pleasant stay and a unique experience at the same time so, some of the more famous “unusual hotels” may have been omitted from the list just because those hotels are just downright ugly and personally, I think they are bizarre and I don’t see why would anybody want to waste their money on them.
So, here we have enlisted ten of the most unique and rather unusual hotels in the world judging by their idea’s creativity, uniqueness, and the fact that the hotel would ensure a pleasant stay. If you want to know how these hotel chains retain customers you can learn more about building customer loyalty here.
