One very special type of accommodation is the underwater hotel. Probably the best-
known example is the Jules Undersea Lodge off Key Largo, Florida. A former research
facility, the lodge has two bedrooms and a common room. Elsewhere in the world,
several other underwater projects are being built. One is the Poseidon Undersea Resort,
which will rest on the floor of a lagoon in Fiji. An elevator will transport quests to the
plush suites below the surface. An even bigger underwater hotel is being built in Dubai.
Named Hydropolis, this facility will have 220 suites and will charge US$ 5,000 a night. For a really odd adventure, visitors can stay in the Hamster Hotel in Nantes, France.
In the cage-like rooms, guests run in a giant wheel, eat seeds, and sleep in a bed of hay.
If they so choose, people can even dress up in a hamster costume. This experience costs
about US$ 150 per night.
The uniqueness of hotels puts them in a special category known as destination
hotels. That is, people decide to visit a location because of the hotel itself. The popularity
of such destination hotels is a sign that many travelers are truly searching for something
different.
