Something Different: Funky Hotel Choices

Something Different: Funky Hotel Choices

When it comes to choosing a holiday, we are all spoilt for choice. There are thousands of destinations available through travel agents and on the Internet. However, the problem is that most packages only offer accepted types of holidays. In other words, if you are looking for something out of the ordinary then you really have to look for it.

When trying to find a funky hotel or holiday, you should start researching the market a few months before the day you wish to leave. Funky hotels are not widely advertised as such, especially if you fall into an older age bracket. They are generally only offered in unusual package holidays that are marketed towards individuals below the age of thirty. However, to give you a head start on your research, the top 10 funky hotels in the world are described below.

1. Katerina City Hotel, MoscowThis Russian hotel boasts a prime location just a few minutes walk from the sites of the city, as well as the entertainment and nightlife.
