Why go for rooms with a view when there are rooms with multiple views?

While there are many revolving restaurants already in operation, the Marmara Antalya Hotel bills itself as the world’s first hotel with a revolving loft that rotates between two and 22 times per day. With such capability, you can never get tired of the scenic views from your hotel room.

However, if the unique revolving loft is too much for the faint-hearted, the Marmara Antalya Hotel also has rooms within its stationary building for guests to choose from. The contemporary hotel design of a whimsical and spacious ambience coupled with the dramatic scenery around one of Turkey’s most beautiful cities is sure to be an excellent pick.

Otherwise known as the “Crazy House”, this Dalat hotel is an unconventional building with guest rooms that are ornately designed with trunks and branches accompanied by warm orangey lights to create the atmosphere of being in a “fairytale house”.

This out of-the-box concept of incorporating nature such as animals, mushrooms, spider webs and caves into one design that resembles a giant tree is sure to make you fall in love with this place. The idea of a biological design came from the natural environment encircling the Da Lat City, where the guesthouse now stands so that you can experience the ecological world.

If you are a nature-lover, this guesthouse is perfectly suited for you. There are 10 themed guest rooms, each of which represents an animal that can range from a termite-themed room to a kangaroo-themed room. The furniture is specially crafted to resemble nature. For instance, in one room, the staircase is shaped like tree branches while in the other, the fireplace looks like a bamboo. Each room is so intricately and creatively designed that you will never get tired of exploring the building. If you’re not staying the night, you can also come for a day visit.
