1. Hotel Costa Verde
Nestled between the Manuel Antonio National Park of Costa Rica and the

serviced passengers on South Africa Air and Avianca Airlines (Colombia) in its
former life.
1. Hotel Costa Verde
The two-bedroom suite is furnished with hand-carved teak furniture. Pictured
here is the main with an adjoining bathroom in the cockpit. With the nose of
the Boeing 727 fuselage elevated and jutting out from the jungle canopy,
showering in the cockpit can be quite an experience. During off-peak season,
prices start from US$250 (S$310).
2. Propeller Island City Lodge
This edgy hotel in Berlin, Germany shows you the artistic side of the city.

little disoriented as the furniture hang upside down from the ceiling and you
sleep in concealed boxes underneath the floorboard.

be an obstacle course. Unfortunately, the hotel said on its website that it
does not rent the room out to overweight guests because of security regulations.

of the TripAdvisor contributors thought), but it is really just really strongly
themed on love.
3. The Five Hotel
It is located in the latin quarter of Paris, great for sightseeing around
the historical district. However, some TripAdvisor users have cautioned that
the rooms in his hotel, as with most rooms in Paris, are small. Pictured here
is the One by the Five room, where the bed is suspended off the ground.

United States, these ocean-view yurts is a glamping (glamorous camping) option.
