How about staying in one of the weird hotels in the world? Whether you want to unleash your inner mermaid or spend time repenting your sins in prison, these hotels offer everything for the truly strange-at-heart. On the flip side, at least you don't have to worry about showing your friends boring old vacation pictures...<br />
<br />
Do you ever wonder how Tarzan and Jane felt swing though the trees? Well wonder no longer! At the Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel in <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/brazil">Brazil</a> you live in the tree tops. This hotel is actually built in the tree tops of the Amazon Rainforest.<br />

<br />
If being a caveman or cave-women is not your style, how about an igloo? At the Icehotel in <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/sweden">Sweden</a>, everything is made of ice, well, ice. As you can see in the video, even the furniture is made out of ice. Make sure to pack your wool socks!<br />

Want all the amenities without breaking the bank? Are you okay with small spaces? Then this hotel is for you! It is a Japanese capsule hotel and it has everything you need: TV, alarm clock, and radio.<br />

<br />
If the capsule hotel is not for you, how about a concrete tee-pee? The Wigwam hotel in <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/arizona">Arizona </a>features tee-pees instead of rooms. This hotel definitely gives you the feel of being in another place and time.<br />
