If you're looking for a short holiday or have to travel for work, an interesting hotel could be the right destination for you. Or if you are interested in history you might like to stay in a famous or unusual hotel.
-
All the hotels here certainly match that criteria. Colonial, Haunted, Iconic, Infamous - they're all here. Many famous guests have stayed in them over the years and some get honoured with rooms, suites and penthouses named after them. Mostly stories of their escapades and misadventures turn into legends.

Have a look through and see what appeals. Just click on the hotel you'd like to go to on the information page. Most of them have quite a history and make for interesting reading.

Prices are in US dollars and you will need plenty of them for most of these places. You might as well go the whole hog and get them to pick you up at the airport. Click on the icons under the information page to go to their various websites.
