The Everywhere blog

If you thought the proposal to build a hotel on Alcatraz was entertaining, you're in for quite a ride with the travel accommodation website unusualhotelsoftheworld.com.

Feeling nostalgic about that tree house you had as a kid? Consider booking a reservation at Woodpecker Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden where you'll have to climb a wobbly 43-foot high rope ladder to get to the hotel digs tucked away in the branches of a 130-year-old Oak tree.

Or better yet, if you've ever wondered what it might be like to spend the night in one those extraordinarily high harbor cranes, the Crane Hotel, an hour outside of Amsterdam, allows guests to sleep in the cockpit of a dockside loading crane. The view is apparently amazing... if you can handle the height. And while you might think that sewage pipes should be left to, well, sewage, Das Park Hotel in Austria will let you sleep in one, if you dare. Unusualhotelsoftheworld.com is a hotel guide that allows you to book reservations through the site, and if you're a true fan you can even buy the book!

Meanwhile, our Hotel Window theme is a perfect place to share your photos and stories about the places you stay during your travels. So bring them on!
