The Propeller Island City Lodge in Berlin, Germany was listed under Fantasy/Theme, so I expected something sexy & romantic.

It looks like it's straight out of The Shining. Which, you know, is kick-ass if that's your whole wedding & honeymoon theme- but I'm thinkin' you might have bigger problems looming at that point.

Heehee..that Champagne Glass Whirlpool Bath-For-Two is so hokey, but you know I just love it. My luggage wouldn't even hit the floor before I jumped in.

The Ice Hotel has always fascinated me! Very cool! (No pun intended!)

As always, very awesome link, Snowflake!

Lordy, Snowflake! I, too, am now addicted!

I'm also obsessed with the world's freakiest lodge listed in my above post. The Propeller City Lodge in Berlin, Germany.

These two fantasy rooms elicited a "Oh, hell to to the NO" from me:

Prison Cell:
A friendly prison cell with a hole in the wall. The toilet is in the room, just like we know it should be!What's different: You really WANT to stay here, it's extremely comfortable. Freedom awaits on the balcony with a parasol.

Huh?!?! I'm sorry, friends of the Lodge, but NO, I really do NOT WANT to stay here. My large intestine will explode before I partake in toilet action in front of my traveling companions & guests. And what's with the "hole"? Like, a glory hole? That might catch my attention & kick it up a notch, but I'll still pass.

Coffin:
In both coffins you can even slumber beneath closed lids! An will be opening soon: exclusively connoisseur room for all those "Nosferatus" who cannot wait for that which awaits us all. Whosoever has second thoughts can creep to the bedplace below, safe within the labyrinth. Not only a unique experience for Gothic die-hards...an exquisite location on top of that!

Um, NO. Since I don't fancy myself a travelin' Nosferatu with frequent flyer miles, I'll pass. And the minute that lid closed, I'd be screeching like a banshee in a full-blown panic attack. Personally, I like my holidays to remain sedative-free. I would start thinking of my deceased loved ones and then I'd just get disturbed. Plus, I'd be lying in that coffin knowing that that wouldn't be the last time my body would be chillin' in one. (edited to add: it looks like I can forego the coffin and slumber in some sort of labyrinth located below in that room. Can I just sleep in a Motel 6 at this point?)

I'm ALL over the "Upside Down" Room & the "Mirror" room. That sounds like lots of sexy fun!

But that's just me. I'd love to talk to anybody who actually did stay in those rooms and hear all of their exciting tales.

Only if I get to play Swisspolka over and over and over....

I know someone who stayed there, they had a great time - after they got over the insects and diarrhea - but hey, that's the jungle for you

I'd go to Brazil. I've only been to the West side of South America.

There's an awful lot of unusual hotels in Arkansas!

I'm trying to figure out why the underwater hotel in Key Largo requires scuba certification. It is only 21 feet down and you can't possibly be on compressed air while in it so it should be easily accessible with a surface airhose.

But it sounds cool in a stupid gimmick sort of way. Next time I'm in the keys I want to dive at the at the underwater national park anyway.

I am digging the Propellor Island City Lodge and it's oppressive aesthetics - so decidedly - "German"

I'm also loving some of the room descriptions:

Quote:

The bathroom is a gigantic plastic bag - a real sensation!

or

Quote:

Guests ought not to lean themselves or their belongings on the wave-shaped wall - like in the average museum: "Please do not touch". Trust is better than guardrails!

Maybe it's time to go back to Berlin - wonder if they still do the Love Parade

I was worried that they were serious about the plastic bag bathroom - like you get non-biodegradable chamber pot. That is NOT swanky.
