Some Thoughts About Searching For Hot Exciting Unique Destination Hotels And Vacation Ideas

By Adriana Noton


Hotels are commonly looked at as convenient places to sleep overnight on the way to a area being traveled to for other business or pleasure objectives, or once arriving there. This traveler wants to spend as little money and time as necessary to have his minimum requirements for cleanliness and quiet sleeping satisfied. There are other unusual accommodations that will largely be the reason for the trip to that location. With these, the travel itinerary is fashioned around an enjoyment of the attractions found at that inn, or the area's natural features.

In this article we will not be discussing budget, overnight, or limited service accommodations. These have their purpose as stopping places on the way somewhere and may fulfill all that traveler's needs and expectations. They most likely are not something to design a memorable travel experience around.

There are several other types that will fit the bill, however. One such type is located in scenic areas, whether on the ocean, in the mountains, near a volcano, in a rain forest, or in a warm desert climate during the winter months. This base of operations is sometimes located in a remote area. It offers relaxation and access to quiet enjoyment of scenery, or activities such as hiking, biking, boating, fishing, hunting, skiing, or climbing.

Another option is an unusual venue. There the guests can stay at lodgings in caves, pyramids, tree houses, man made islands, or under water. Sometimes the attraction is a unique architecture designed by someone like Frank Lloyd Wright, or that has been operating since 718. Several are shaped like a shoe, reminiscent of the fairytale of the old woman who lived in a shoe with all her children.

Others were formerly mines, survival bunkers, railway terminals, prisons, ocean liners, or airliners. They might be rebuilt every year of snow or ice, or have a central attraction of outdoor geothermal baths surrounded by snow.

A third type are those that are self contained and built around some sort of activity. They have facilities owned by the establishment, on site, which will keep the guests occupied. Examples here are resort casinos, golf resorts, conference centers, theme parks, and those at or near horse or auto racetracks and sports stadiums.

Yet another possibility are those types offering healthy activities. These might include integrative medical treatment, spas, massage, yoga, healthy meals, fitness training, meditation, stress management, life style modification, or spiritual retreats.

For some the draw is large urban areas with their cultural attractions such as theater, concerts, museums, or shopping and boutiques. While some people seek to escape the city and get away from people, others enjoy the 24 hour a day big city energy and find it invigorating.

Lastly there are places for people with common interests to gather, like a biker rally. Students can find places to blow off steam over spring break. Individuals with interests in investing, Star Trek, or practically anything can find destination hotels to meet their needs and provide a venue for their activities.
