Igloo Hotel / Lapland
One night for two under the stars? This is even better: The view from a glass igloo on the aurora borealis of the polar sky. Quintessentially romance.

All rooms are equipped with double beds, a bathroom with shower and a private wooden veranda overlooking the valley. By booking a suite, you even get your own butler. The many excursion options let you dive into another world far away from home, whether you opt for a balloon ride over the valley or for an excursion to the UNESCO World Heritage Twyfelfontein. Latter is a desert valley with a source, in which more than 2,500 rock engravings of several thousand years of history can be enjoyed.
Dog Hotel / USA
Here someone is probably gone to the dogs. The artist Dennis and Frances from the state of Idaho are both hotel operators and have come up with very special treatment for their guests. An oversized wooden beagle sits enthroned in the middle of the meadow of the Dog Bark Park. Via the the rump one reaches the sleeping area and further the first floor, a loft room with a double bed and little sawn wooden dogs sculptures on the walls. The artist paid attention to each detail, there are even biscuits in dog shape instead of simple chocolate bars.
