Staying in a unique place has become the newest trend for vacationers all over the world. People find themselves wanting new experiences where they can be comfortable and entertained at the same time. If you’re tired of seeing the same, typical hotel interiors, fret no more! Here’s a list of quirky places to stay in case you catch yourself touring around Asia.

Hang Nga Villa (Dalat, Vietnam)

Accommodations cost around PHP2000.00/night

Also labeled as “The Crazy House”, Hang Nga Villa is known to be one of the strangest hotels in the world. Just look at that architecture! Instead of rectangle buildings, you will find yourself inside brown, weird-looking treehouses. Animal statues and other unique interiors also surround the hotel. The place is perfect for fun yet nature-loving individuals.

The Henry Hotel (Cebu, Philippines)

Accommodations cost around PHP5000.00/night

The Henry Hotel is guaranteed to boost your creative juices! It’s like a hotel and an art gallery in one. On the outside, it seems like an ordinary building but once you step inside, you’d probably be taken aback with all the color surrounding you. The lobby itself is already enclosed with art and the rooms contain pretty much the same vibe. It’s like this: your usual furniture collides with burst of color and this place is the outcome.
