Extraordinary hotels - best choice for your unusual city break in Antwerpen

Belgian fans of art Geert and Carla Verbeke-Lens opened a very unusual hotel that can hardly be found anywhere else in the world. Originally CasAnus was just a sculpture made by Dutch designer Joep van Lieshout. The sculpture is made in the shape of rectum and ends with anus. Nowadays, the sculpture is located in the park of sculptures in Antwerp. There is one guestroom in the rectum shaped home. The guestroom is heated and has shower and a bedroom. The cost of booking of such an original place is 120 euro per night. The price includes a breakfast and free entrance to the park. Despite quite a strange idea, many travelers decide to book the room of such a hotel.

Antwerp port is the location of a no less unusual hotel. Here travelers can stay at Sleeping Around, the hotel that is made of freight containers. Naturally, inner design of these container rooms is quite modest, but all necessary amenities including heating, bathroom and conditioning are present. Travellers, who want “extra comfort”, can book one of the three containers with kitchen, dining room and sauna. The concept of “sleeping wherever you want” was the idea of Norwegian Geoffrey Stampaert. Using such an advantage of containers as mobility, the hotel makes a journey round the world, so it is possible to “take home to travel”. Travellers, who are ready for adventures, are welcome to book one of the containers. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
