The digs at these hotels are every bit as strange as the dreams you'll have when you lay your head on their pillows......


Das Park Hotel in Ottensheim, Austria, offers three 10-ton segments of drainage pipe, each 6.5 feet in diameter. You get a lamp, a mattress, a few sleeping bags, and a lockable door.


Inside the Harbour Crane, you'll find that the lighting system is touch-screen operated, the chairs are Eames Lounges, and the structural steel has a certain sculptural elegance.


Dog Bark Park Inn is a two-story, beagle-shaped B&B in Cottonwood, Idaho. And, yes, pets are allowed.


The Hobbit Motel consists of two hillside burrows that are faithful replicas of the hobbit dwellings in J.R.R. Tolkien's books—right down to the circular windows and doorways, red-and-beige walls, and camouflaged exteriors.
