The forecast isn't looking too promising and if you know anything about me then you'll know that I'm always looking for some sort of adventure to embark on. So here are a few places I'd like to check out...

Can Sleep, Lake Skanderborg, Denmark

Can Sleep in Lake Skanderborg, Denmark is a 121 room hotel made up of giant beer cans placed in groups of 6.  Each “can” has a sleeping loft, a “lid” that opens and the minibar is stocked with Royal Unibrew beer.

Free Spirit Spheres, Vancouver Island, Canada

The Free Spirit Spheres in Vancouver Island, Canada are 3 spheres suspended in the trees 10-15 feet above the ground. The interiors are heated and even have a place to dock your ipod. If you are prone to motion sickness, you might want to find a hotel on land as the spheres tend to sway with the wind.

Hotel Kakslauttanen, Finland

Hotel Kakslauttanen in Finland is made up of 12 “igloos” in addition to traditional wood cabins. The winter interior temps in the igloos ranges from 21 to 27 degrees fahrenheit, but unrestricted views of the aurora borealis make it worth donning wool socks and sleeping in sleeping bags.

La Villa Hamster, Nantes, France

The La Villa hamster in Nantes, France is a one room hotel for those who always wondered what a hamster’s life was like. The room is outfitted with a giant working hamster wheel, a metal water spigot you activate with your foot and a bathroom filled with giant wood chips (and a human toilet).

Thanks to Accidential Mommies for photos and information on these hotels.
