What people usually look for in a hotel is that it has to have a cozy bed, a clean bathroom, hygienic sheets and towels, a breathtaking view outside, and topnotch amenities and services. But, if you’re a sucker for bizarre, fantastical stuff, then these unusual hotels got you covered. Well, they are different in the sense that there are giraffes joining you at your breakfast table or schools of fish (including sharks) guarding you while you sleep, and that you got to expect sleeping on a bed of ice and staying inside a palace made entirely of salt!
