The Propeller Island City Lodge in Berlin is no ordinary hotel. Each room is decorated differently with some being really bizarre. Ranging from the room with the 'Flying Bed' to the Mirror Room to the Padded Cell.

Perhaps the strangest room is the Upside Down room. The furnishings hang from the ceiling and you sleep and sit in comfortable boxes beneath the floorboards.

In Japan, we have "Love Hotels" for couples who want to, well, er,...be alone! (Everyone lives with mommy & daddy till they are married and there's no privacy in a small Japanese house) These "Love Hotes" sometimes have themes and you can pick a room when you go in. I've seen some with a jungle theme(lots of foliage and green colors), a latin theme(red everywhere, velvet, round, rrevolving bed and mirrors on the ceiling) and an amusement park theme with karaoke, video games, and a slide into the jacuzzi bath! I had my own place when I was dating my husband(then BF) and we went to those places so I could get a good night's sleep on a real bed and use a shower for a change.(I had a tiny tatami-mat apartment and an antique Japanese bath at the time) If you come to Japan, you HAVE TO try one! They're cheaper than regular hotels but you can't leave once you check in. (You stay there the whole time and leave in the morning.) Some you can use for an hour or two.
