Bolivian desert Salar de Uyuni is called one of the largest in the world. This is a dried salt lake in the Andes. Tauke-de-Salle hotel is located on the north bank of the Salar de Uyuni. Built from blocks of salt and other natural materials of Andes. The hotel has two courtyards, covered with a transparent material that keeps heat. Thick layer of chopped salt, sprinkled on the floor performs a carpet function. All rooms are heated by solar energy. Walls, furniture and floor are made ​​mostly from blocks of salt. Therefore nobody is surprised that in the hotel isn't allowed to lick the wall.

Red House is visible on the surface of Lake Malaren in Vasteras, Sweden. The hotel is located on a platform of about 25 square meters. By the looks ugly, it looks like a typical Swedish house, but actually it consists of two parts connected to each other by levels. The platform floats partially above the water surface, while the rest of the hotel is located 3 meters under the water. When you immerse in water then you can enjoy the marine life. The hotel accommodates only two people who can get there only by boat. Kitchen and bathroom are located near the sleeping room (which is under the water). At the upper part you can take a sun baths.
