100 Mod Hotel Accommodations

From Converted Correctional Hotels to Luxurious Cave-Bound Getaways

— November 7, 2012 — World
Finding a hip accommodation can be difficult without knowing where to look; with these mod hotels, you will never need to stay in a bland motel ever again. Depending on preferences, one can stay at a fire-accentuated abode or a correctional facility converted into a hotel. If experiencing new adventures is your cup of tea, try the remote cabin hotels or the see-through spherical lodging. If lapping in luxury is your taste, then opt for a refurbished royal accommodation or a floating futuristic hotel. There are hip and hot hotels out there for every interior design taste.

These hotels are located all over the globe, so finding an intricate place to stay out in the middle of the icy lands of Sweden won’t be a problem for you.
