When I read about this one, I contemplated planning my next travel itinerary to Chile. I mean, staying in a mountain with a permanent waterfall on its side? Deal.

You’ll find tons of unique hotels on this list, but Crazy House is truly a fairy tale that comes alive. Located in Dalat City and designed by Vietnamese architect Dang Viet Nga, Crazy House resembles a giant tree and, at least at first, was just a personal project.

You’ll also find a selection of dog-themed books and games to entertain your stay. There’s probably no need to say this, but well-behaved dogs are more than welcome!
