About Hot Unique Destination Hotels And Vacation Ideas

By Adriana Noton


Hotels are commonly seen as convenient, short term rental lodgings located in, or on the way to, an area where travel takes one for some other purpose, whether business or pleasure. In this case the traveler will often spend little time at the facility, and little money, provided the room meets minimal requirements for a clean, quiet place to sleep. Some special accommodations however are the attraction themselves, and are at least partly the reason for the trip to the area. Vacation or holiday travels can be planned around one of these inns and enjoyment of attractions on site, or the nearby natural features.

The scope of this article does not encompass limited service, overnight or budget accommodations. Those have a role to play as a place to rest on the way somewhere else, and can easily meet those needs and expectations of the traveler. They usually will not be the type of place someone might plan a truly memorable traveling experience around though.

May other types will do provide that memorable experience. There is the type that might be found in some scenic and sometimes remote area. It could be in the mountains, on the sea, in a rain forest, in a sunny desert, or near a volcano. The guest can enjoy some quiet relaxation and enjoyment of the scenic view, or engage in activities like skiing, climbing, fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, or biking.

There is a type with an unusual motif. Caves, tree houses, pyramids, artificial islands, even underwater locations have been made into inns. Often the structure's unique architecture is what attracts the guests. It may have been designed by someone like Frank Lloyd Wright, or have been continually operating since 718. A few are even made to look like the shoe that fairytale old woman lived in with all her children.

Other destinations were once survival bunkers, mines, prisons, airliners, railway terminals, and ocean liners. Some are rebuilt annually of snow and ice, or might feature geothermal outdoor spas surrounded by snow.

Thirdly there are some inns that are dedicated to some sort of activity offered on site. Here the host has facilities on their premises that will occupy its guests. Examples of this type are golf resorts, resort gambling casinos, theme parks, conference centers, or accommodations located proximate to or at automobile or horse racetracks or sports stadiums.

Yet another possibility are those types offering healthy activities. These might include integrative medical treatment, spas, massage, yoga, healthy meals, fitness training, meditation, stress management, life style modification, or spiritual retreats.

For some the draw is large urban areas with their cultural attractions such as theater, concerts, museums, or shopping and boutiques. While some people seek to escape the city and get away from people, others enjoy the 24 hour a day big city energy and find it invigorating.

Some destination hotels are known as places for students to blow off some steam over spring break, or for groups like motorcyclists to gather together for a rally with others with the same interests or hobbies. Some attract a variety of different types of people with a common interest such as investment or Star Trek movies and television programs.
