Sweden’s Treehotel, which is a complex of amazing tree houses in the woods, includes a UFO-shaped room that looks extra eerie at night. The UFO is made of lightweight materials so it can easily be supported by the trees and includes a hatch door with a retractible staircase, a double bed, a composting toilet and a dining area.

Reclaimed concrete pipes now have a surprising use in Mexico: sections of them have been crafted into hotel pods for two, each including a queen bed. The tubes were stacked to allow for more density and give the upper rooms a better view. Of course, they’re a little on the small side, but bath houses are available onsite.
