About Exciting Destination Hotels And Vacation Ideas

By Adriana Noton


Hotels are commonly looked at as convenient places to sleep overnight on the way to a area being traveled to for other business or pleasure objectives, or once arriving there. This traveler wants to spend as little money and time as necessary to have his minimum requirements for cleanliness and quiet sleeping satisfied. There are other unusual accommodations that will largely be the reason for the trip to that location. With these, the travel itinerary is fashioned around an enjoyment of the attractions found at that inn, or the area's natural features.

In this article we will not be discussing budget, limited service, and overnight accommodations, other than to say that they play an important role for travelers needing places to rest on the way to their ultimate destination. While they satisfy that traveler's expectations admirably, they might not be the kind of place to plan a really great travel experience around.

There are several types that will serve that purpose. Among them is the type found in scenic areas, be they on the ocean, near a volcano, in mountains, in a rain forest, or with a sunny desert climate. Often this base is found in a remote area. Here the vacationer can experience quiet relaxation and enjoyment of scenic vistas, or participation in activities such as biking, hiking, boating, hunting, fishing, climbing or skiing.

There is a type with an unusual motif. Caves, tree houses, pyramids, artificial islands, even underwater locations have been made into inns. Often the structure's unique architecture is what attracts the guests. It may have been designed by someone like Frank Lloyd Wright, or have been continually operating since 718. A few are even made to look like the shoe that fairytale old woman lived in with all her children.

Some are found in renovated mines, bunkers, prisons, railway terminals, airliners, and ocean liners. Others are built each year of ice or snow, or are located in wintry areas, with outdoor natural hot spring baths.

Thirdly there are some inns that are dedicated to some sort of activity offered on site. Here the host has facilities on their premises that will occupy its guests. Examples of this type are golf resorts, resort gambling casinos, theme parks, conference centers, or accommodations located proximate to or at automobile or horse racetracks or sports stadiums.

Yet another possibility are those types offering healthy activities. These might include integrative medical treatment, spas, massage, yoga, healthy meals, fitness training, meditation, stress management, life style modification, or spiritual retreats.

For some the draw is large urban areas with their cultural attractions such as theater, concerts, museums, or shopping and boutiques. While some people seek to escape the city and get away from people, others enjoy the 24 hour a day big city energy and find it invigorating.

Students wanting a place to blow off steam during spring break have destination hotels to serve them. Motorcyclists or other groups can gather for rallies with others having similar hobbies or interests. Sometimes events attract divergent types of individuals with some common pursuit like financial investment or Star Trek television programs or films.
