7Hang Nga Guesthouse, Dalat, Vietnam
Also known as the ‘Crazy House’, this guesthouse looks like a fairy tale house.
Its design resembles a giant tree, while inside you’ll find elements representing natural forms: spider webs, caves, mushrooms, and last but not least, animals, such as eagles and tigers.
Each animal is connected to a particular nationality.
For example, the tiger room is representing ‘the strength of the Chinese’, while the eagle room is ‘big and strong’, like Americans.
With 10 themed guest rooms, each one having an animal as its theme, this guesthouse was opened to the public view in 1990.
Fees for visits were VND 35.000 per visit, and if you wished to spend an entire night there, a room ranged from VND 290.000 to 630.000 per night for Vietnamese, and from $29 to $63 for foreigners.
