Unique overnight experience for beer lovers in Germany

Travel to Germany and stay unique in the Brewers Suite | The beer themed hotel room is not only unique in Saxony. Worldwide there are so far only a handful of accommodations with integrated beer dispensers in the room, by the way, all five in Germany or Austria
Brewers Suite
This beer themed Hotel room in Saxony provides a private beer dispenser

The 'Brewers Suite' is not only unique in Saxony. Worldwide there are so far only a handful of accommodations with integrated beer dispensers in the room, by the way, all five in Germany or Austria!

For passionate beer drinkers, there is hardly anything better than the idea of tapping a cool home-brewed beer at the end of an eventful day and relaxing in a hotel room to round off the evening. Particularly effective if one of the two guests is to be surprised. Barely anyone can resist a pint of 'gesture juice' as a nightcap with the bed in sight.

The literally 'tasteful' theme room with the beery note is not only particularly spacious with a size of 41 m², but has also been decorated with great attention to detail. Beer is present everywhere on the walls with pictures, hop tattoos and original bottles from the local brewery. 

The bright and modernly furnished room offers a direct view of the medieval town square, so that you can feel as a guest in the middle of the action. A comfortable sitting area with couch ensures quality of stay, and in the large double bed it sleeps as if in heaven.

No wonder, because this accommodation does credit to the much-vaunted 'land of milk and honey'. But instead of milk and honey, pure 'hop elixir' flows naturally from the room's own pipe - unfiltered and naturally cloudy! 

The ultimate dream for beer lovers and taste fetishists who like to tap for themselves and don't do things by halves when pouring beer. After all, connoisseurs must be able to do it quickly. The tapping process must not take longer than one to two minutes, because as soon as the beer comes into contact with fresh air, it starts to stick out. 

A well and quickly tapped Pils can remain however calmly 10 to 15 minutes on the table, without losing all too much of its hop-fresh, carbonic acid tingling flavour. So if you want to be sure, you draw it yourself! With the permanently installed dispensing system as a highlight, full beer enjoyment is guaranteed. By the way, there are three tasty beers to choose from (Pils, Dunkel and Festbier).

The facilities also include a spacious, stylishly furnished bathroom with shower at ground level and make-up mirror. The overnight price includes 5 litres of self-drawn free beer and an extensive buffet breakfast.

The owner-operated hotel is located in an approx. 300-year-old"hook house", which was historically inhabited by small traders and craftsmen who offered and"sold" their goods here. After extensive renovation work, the historical ambience with the restored roof beams and the cross vault entrance shines in new splendour.

The central location makes the accommodation an ideal starting point for excursions. The Elbe with steamship jetty of Saxon Steamship Navigation can be reached in a few steps, the Saxon Switzerland or Dresden are in the immediate vicinity.

Exotic South Sea flair behind German brick facade in Lower Saxony

Travel to Germany and stay in the Bamboo Lodge | This themed room in Northern Germany pampers its guests with a touch of South Sea exoticism
Bamboo Lodge
This themed room in Northern Germany pampers its guests with a touch of South Sea exoticism.

Sun, beach and palm trees. Let the charm of this themed room enchant you and take you to a South Sea paradise. The atmospheric illuminated Bamboo Lodge gives an idea of the snow-white beaches and blue lagoons of the South Pacific. 

Relax in the sun under palm trees and relax while splashing around a small waterfall! The smell of sandy beaches and a breath of sea breeze reinforce the illusion of being on the other side of the world. Who doesn't long for a peaceful haven, warmth and paradise-like conditions?! 

This dreamlike accommodation with an exotic four-poster bed, bamboo furniture and its own quiet zone against a South Sea background spreads a real island feeling.

Ready for the island? In Lower Saxony, the contrast between North German brick idyll and South Sea exoticism can be experienced up close during an overnight stay at the Bamboo Lodge. This makes it easier to endure emerging wanderlust or to bridge the time to the next holiday more quickly. 

Especially in the darker seasons, this themed room is ideal for brightening up depressed minds or performing hula dances in Waikiki time in bast skirts. A golden Buddha figure provides for meditative moments, while on the wall the water quietly trickles down over stone slabs. 

Bamboo wood characterizes the entire furnishing of the room, the center of which is an airy canopy bed with a frame made of bamboo cane. The roof is crowned by dried palm leaves, while hibiscus-shaped lampshades in bright pink set strong colour accents on the side tables. 

A deck chair under palm trees and a wooden footbridge protruding into the room in front of the large poster mural of a blue lagoon complete the romantic South Seas atmosphere. 

In addition to originality, environmental protection is also a priority in this themed room, from energy-saving lamps to flow limiters in the bathroom to save water.  

Like the entire house, the room is furnished exclusively with natural textiles and is therefore particularly allergy-friendly. When cleaning rooms, the focus is on consciously avoiding cleaning processes that are harmful to the environment. The use of biodegradable cleaning agents that are free of chemicals is naturally part of this. Even in the hotel's own laundry, great importance is attached to the use of natural products.

The hotel offers its guests a wake-up service and free choice of cushions. Depending on the type of sleep, the appropriate pillow will be kept ready upon arrival on request.  Whether pillows for lateral, prone or supine position, down or feather filling, neck support, crumpled or allergy pillows, everyone will find the desired cushion for a healthy sleep.

In the overnight price a healthy and nutritious breakfast with a large selection of regional delicacies in buffet form is comprised. Special requests such as gluten-free bread or lactose-free milk are also taken into account when stated in advance.  If you have to leave before the regular breakfast time, you will receive a special breakfast after consultation with the reception.

The hotel service includes bike rental and a lovingly designed fitness centre with professional equipment from Matrix and Technogym. The reception has maps available for cyclists to explore the city and its surroundings car-free. The city centre is only a few cycling minutes away from the hotel.

Funky urban accommodation in a vintage Airstream trailer in Vienna

Travel to Austria & stay unique in the Vienna Trailer | This original American Airstream caravan in the green backyard of a Viennese hotel contains a luxury guest room with private bathtub

Vienna Trailer
This original American Airstream caravan in the green backyard of a Viennese hotel contains a luxury guest room 

Those who love freedom and independence and who like to sharpen their view of the world while travelling can not only gain new impressions during a stay in Vienna, but also take the feeling of travelling to bed with them through the unusual overnight stay in an American trailer from 1952. 


The heat- and sound-insulated caravan with polished aluminium skin is located in the third district of Vienna in the forecourt of an innovative design hotel, only 8 minutes' walk from Belvedere Palace. Its luxurious interior with freestanding bathtub makes this'hotel room on wheels' an insider tip for all those who appreciate the on-the-road feeling while sleeping and still do not want to do without comfort.


A cult object, in which one can even stay overnight, is parked in the front garden of a special Viennese hotel next to a large sun terrace: the highly polished Silver Streak Clipper belongs to a rare series of American caravans of the legendary Airstream Incorporation. 

Its founder designed this particularly striking model with an Alian or wasp-eye look at the stern and bow and had it manufactured only for a short time. The typical aluminium cladding of the Airstreamer built in 1952 harmonises optically with the listed hotel façade from the 60s. 

As a symbol of freedom, independence and mobility, the 7-metre trailer was imported from America and transformed into a unique and comfortable hotel room by a boat interior construction professional in Croatia. 

Under the direction of a specialist for object equipment, the Airstreamer finally received not only thermal insulation and sound insulation, but also air conditioning, heating, as well as separate WC and hot water. 

The service equipment also includes a flat screen TV, telephone and WLAN. Due to the low room height, the urban guest room on wheels has a free-standing bathtub with a view instead of a shower. Of course, the bed also promises the highest level of comfort.

'Urban Gardening' with vines and vegetable beds around the car is an ideal complement to the innovative feeling of living - as a real extension to the outside world and also as a symbol of the openness lived in the hotel. By planting and producing part of the food itself, the family-run lodging establishment also takes responsibility for the environment. 

Far beyond the edge of the plate also the sail boat in original size "stranded" on the hotel roof aims, which fits perfectly as art project to the innovative hotel concept.  Basic principles such as gravity, volume, weight and statics seem to be suspended in this impressive sculpture. The fact that realities are crazy and viewing habits are questioned here deliberately underlines the liveliness of the place.

The sight of the curved sailboat does not irritate the neighbouring colonies of bees. Their exotic location on a hotel roof in the middle of the city is seen as a contribution to saving bees threatened by monocultures and varroa mites worldwide. About 4 years after its settlement and several kilos of honey later, the success of the project is undoubted. 

The honey used for breakfast and offered for sale in the hotel shop can draw from the variety of neighbouring parks and private gardens, including the Swiss Garden, Belvedere Palace Park and Botanical Garden.

Whether setting sail, rocking in a hammock, putting your feet in the sand or walking over the plank, on two floors this extravagant love nest with real sand offers many possibilities to stimulate the senses and let your imagination run wild. 

The roof beams with hanging anchor lamps and ship ropes give the impression of being on a galleon. Real sand, reeds and palm trees create a beach atmosphere. The many colourful details from the satin bed linen to the wooden mermaid transform the suite with round bed and whirlpool into a seductive playground. A firework of emotions is guaranteed!

'Beach Suite' is equipped with a coffee machine, a mini-bar, effect lighting, erotic literature and a large flat screen TV including an interactive Apple app (with a selection of free movies and music).

Also included is a gourmet breakfast for two persons, which is brought directly to the suite in the morning according to the wish list filled in beforehand. During your stay, coffee and drinks from the mini-bar (wine, beer, water, juices, soft drinks) are at your disposal. 



The hotel also has a kiosk at the reception, where you can stock up on the most important things if your luggage does not have a toothbrush or aftershave. A restaurant is within walking distance. No children are allowed in the suites.

Stargazing in a Treehouse with foldable roof

Sky Lodge Treehouse with foldable roof | Unique overnight stay under the clearest starry sky of England | Forest Glamping for stargazers
Sky Lodge Treehouse
Fascinating outdoor accommodation with expandable roof

Created in collaboration with a treehouse designer, Sky Lodge features a gable-shaped sleeping deck with a spectacular convertible roof for automatic opening to admire the darkest night sky of England. 

Couples with a sense of romance, nature lovers and hindered astronomers will enjoy themselves under the starry skies of Northumberland National Park, which have been awarded by the International Dark Skies Association.

This fascinating and innovative forest accommodation surpasses all expectations of a conventional tree house and at the same time meets the wishes of many people with disabilities who would like to spend the night in a largely barrier-free tree house.

This unusual tree house consists of three areas: the central' Square', a cleverly designed room with glass doors overlooking the river, the' Circle', a cosy panoramic area with a small wood-burning stove and the' Triangle', a gable-shaped roof floor with a double bed from which you can look up through large windows. 

With appropriate weather conditions and no wind, the entire roof can be opened at the push of a button to spend the night under an open starry sky.

Undisturbed by artificial light sources, the overnight guests can expect an impressive nightly spectacle in the sky. Because here the night sky is darker than anywhere else on the British island. Ideal for watching shooting stars, exploring foreign stars or marveling at the white ribbon of the Milky Way.

The lower floor is equipped with multifunctional furniture for folding out or stacking, allowing the central room to be converted from a living area into a bedroom with two single beds in no time at all. 

In addition to a compact mini-kitchen, there is also barrier-free access to the outside bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. The wide balcony is accessed via glass doors, from which not only the passing North Tyne can be seen, but also the characteristic red squirrels in the trees. 

The outdoor area with its stove and folding table has been placed in a section of a drainage pipe on the motorway and, thanks to its practical roofing, offers a sheltered outdoor area for a barbecue or the obligatory 5 o' clock tea, even in case of light rain or wind. If you like, you can brew your cup of coffee in an old-fashioned way over a wood-burning stove.

At the very top of the gable, the sleeping chamber with convertible roof, which can be reached via an outside staircase, forms the crowning glory of the wooden construction, which has been built in a way that is gentle on nature and resources. In an unusual blend of tree house, art installation and observatory, the functionally conceived Sky Lodge conveys unique natural experiences in a magical place.

Situated in the heart of Northumberland's water and forest park, this wonderfully bizarre accommodation is the perfect starting point for wildlife lovers, stargazers or adventurous families. 

As the home of osprey and habitat for almost half of the native red squirrels in England, the artificially created nature park is considered Europe's largest commercial forest. Together with the Lake District, the UK's largest reservoir with a capacity of 200 million litres, which was created in 1982 to supply drinking water, the region has become a popular recreational area. 

The wide range of leisure activities on offer provides sailing and water sports, rope courses, climbing parks and orientation trails to horseback riding, paragliding and exploring a copper mine. For wheelchair users and people with limited freedom of movement, tours by hand bike, canoeing or archery are on the programme. Most of the activities are coordinated by an outdoor centre, which is only a few minutes' walk away from Sky Lodge. 

In the cooler months it can get a bit cold at Sky Lodge, so if you are planning to make a reservation, don't forget your cardy (and warm underwear)!

Retired London double-decker bus turns out to be a splendid Glamping lodge

Trafalgar Bus Glamping Retreat in United Kingdom (County Durham) | The idea of transforming a retired city bus into a luxurious accommodation may not be one of the most original ideas, but this modified London double-decker bus with private spa & bathtub in the north-east of England exceeds all expectations and can rightly be called unusual
Trafalgar Bus Retreat
Iconic double-decker bus from 1960s serves as luxury accommodation for lovers

The idea of transforming a bus into a luxurious accommodation may not be one of the most original ideas, but this converted London double-decker bus in the north-east of England exceeds all expectations and can rightly be called unusual.

 As soon as you open the gate to the private garden, where the London bus to Trafalgar Square has been parked, you are overwhelmed by the bright red cult car, which shows all stops of the former route on the original signpost. 

Access to the interior of the discarded bus is through a representative door in the style of the British government seat 'Downing Street Number 10'. And as soon as you're on board the fancy quarter on wheels, the next surprise follows in the form of an exclusive bathroom with a free-standing bathtub and view of the flat screen TV installed opposite. 

The upper deck serves as living and sleeping space, which accommodates a breakfast corner with original seating including table, a custom-made couch and a comfortable Queen Size bed.

Immediately upon boarding the converted passenger compartment, guests are welcomed by a bathroom in elegant shades of grey, which has a free-standing bathtub with a flat-screen TV integrated into the wall. 

The unexpected sight almost makes you forget where you are - just a few original features like the steering wheel behind a window above the washbasin remind you that the quaint guest room once swayed through London's city centre as a regular bus.

As is customary in double-decker buses, a steep spiral staircase leads to the upper deck, where 40 of the 77 seats available used to line up. The tunnel-like room with a low ceiling forcing tall guests into a slightly bent corridor was redesigned with red velvet and equipped with impermeable curtains that protect the opulent bedroom from prying eyes. 

In addition to the feudal bed in front of a grey upholstered front wall, the furnishings include a comfortable sofa and a spacious seating area with table.

The bus was put into service in the 1960s and also operated during the 1966 World Cup in London. During the conversion into accommodation, great importance was attached to the greatest possible authenticity and an attempt was made to preserve as much original substance as possible. The upstairs staircase has also been renovated, but due to the steep steps it is unsuitable for persons with reduced mobility as well as for children and pets.

A well thought-out lighting system with remote control and candlelight creates a romantic atmosphere throughout the entire bus and contributes significantly to a pleasant stay.

Together with the outdoor area, which includes a small garden and a private whirlpool, the ensemble forms a truly unique love nest, perfect for a stimulating getaway for two. Guests are greeted with delicious appetizers and prosecco at the reception, while fluffy bathrobes and bath towels made of Egyptian cotton are ready for relaxing moments in the bathroom.

The sought-after accommodation in the red double-decker bus is located on the ground of a family-run country hotel on the edge of a former mining town between Durham and Newcastle, both of which with their historical sights, theatres, restaurants, galleries and shops can be reached in 20 minutes by car. Several imaginative themed rooms and the adjoining pub with an upscale menu also make the Inn the ideal location for weddings. 


The location on a busy main street is offset by the proximity to the Beamish Open-Air Museum, famous for its vibrant presentation of Victorian and Edwardian times, including complete buildings, shops, mines, trams and steam engines.

This stylish theme room combines the charm of a genuine Indian tipi with the comfort of a modern, ergonomic mattress. This doesn't make a pale face a red-skin colour, but the design of the furnishings has not been saved with the appropriate colouring. Starting from the large whirlpool, integrated in the prairie-red rocky landscape of this original dwelling, up to real buffalo skins. 

Colours and scenery are perfectly coordinated and convey a feeling of security in the bosom of nature, far from all dangers of the Wild West.

So the eternal game of the chief and his squaw can begin - with you in the leading roles. Because tonight almost everything is allowed - except a campfire. So put on the war paint and discover your wild nature!

The hotel facilities include a wellness area with whirlpool, steam bath, colour light therapy and a Turkish bath. As a guest there is a free parking space reserved for you on the hotel premises. The centre of Turin can be reached after a 30-minute walk from the accommodation.
