This sounds crazy, right?
Only before we start with the topic I have a little question for you.
In my previous video, the one of the 10 worst bites a human can experience,
I told you about the sting of a small jellyfish
that will make you scream if it bites you.
Do you happen to remember its name?
If you watched my previous video, you probably already know the answer.
And if not, well, you already lost the game.
To make it more fun here I am going to leave you these 4 options on your screen,

At the end of the video I'm going to tell you the name of that naughty jellyfish
and let's see if you got your answer right, okay?
All right, make yourself comfortable and enjoy it, bro.
I'm Curious Ben, and… How curious are you?
RYUGYONG
The Ryugyong Hotel, also known as Building 105,
is a hotel located in North Korea that has a very strange peculiarity,
no one has ever stayed in it.
Despite being one of the largest hotels in the world
none of its rooms have been occupied by anyone.
That's weird!
The hotel began its construction in 1987
and it was thought that everything would be ready to use just two years later,
the original plan was to open it in 1989, but that never happened,
to this day it remains in complete abandonment.
Apparently just when they were building it the country entered a crisis
and they had to suspend the works.
Although there are those who say that this hotel is cursed and that is why they never opened it.
But hey, who knows?
Although it is technically ready to be occupied, it is still closed,
the hotel has a height of 330 meters,
it is one of the largest hotels in the world
and is the tallest structure in North Korea.
I think this is one of the weirdest hotels I've ever seen,
surely it is cursed.
VOYAGER STATION
The Voyager station is a hotel that has not yet been built,
but that it will be one of the strangest in human civilization.
Well, that is if they build it.
It will be located 200 kilometers above the surface of our planet,
people who want to stay in it
will be sent in spaceships so that they can live a unique experience.
The idea of ​​this hotel is the company Orbital Assembly, a company from the United States
that is investing a ridiculous amount of money in this idea.
It is planned to start the construction of this hotel in the year 2025
and by 2027 it should be ready and with the first guests.
I definitely want to go!
It is estimated that it will be able to host a maximum of 400 people,
it would have several amenities and rooms,
bars, restaurants, gyms and even movie theaters.
technically the hotel would have the luxuries of any hotel room on Earth,
only in outer space.
The design of the hotel is quite curious, as you are seeing,
in each of those capsules would be the rooms and different amenities.
And in case something bad were to happen,
each section is equipped with an emergency spaceship
to return you to Earth safe and sound.
Staying one night in this hotel will not cost thousands, but millions of dollars,
so you can start saving from now on.
- Bullsh*t! - Benny, I'm not going to lend you $20,000,000 USD.
Voyager Station, I think you've never seen a hotel like this before, right?
KAROSTA
The old Karosta prison located in Latvia is now a rather curious hotel
that you will not find anywhere else in the world.
The rooms are very uncomfortable cells
and the hotel staff treats you like human trash.
Yeah, I'm not kidding.
It not only looks like a prison,
but they treat you as if you were a criminal,
hotel staff yell at you, force you to do physical activities
and you have to wake up early by obligation.
And there is little to say about the rooms,
They look like a dump, honestly, and are worth €50 a night.
This prison was built at the beginning of the 20th century,
initially it was used as an infirmary,
but during the war years 'death row inmates' were sent to this site
to spend his last days.
There's a lot of negative energy in these walls
and you can feel that the environment is cursed,
but a few years ago someone had the brilliant idea to turn this cursed prison into a hotel.
Reservations are allowed during the months of May to October only,
it is the only time of the year where the weather allows it.
Hotel Karosta, only a madman would stay here.
HENN-NA
In Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan,
is the first robotic hotel in the world, the Henn-Na hotel.
When you arrive at reception you realize that it is one of the strangest hotels
that exist on our planet.
In the reception cubicle there are several robots with a humanoid appearance
that help you to do your check-in,
or if the humanoid robots are busy, a dinosaur attends to you.
OMG!
Well, things have changed in recent years,
many of the robots had to be fired
because they did not fulfill their tasks correctly,
instead of helping, they ended up being a hindrance.
especially this dinosaur robot.
Now the hotel is managed thanks to a combination of human work and robot work,
always remains a technological hotel, but it is not like the beginning,
when everything was attended and controlled by robots.
In spite of that, I think it is a rather peculiar hotel,
it's not every day you stay in a hotel with a dinosaur attending to your needs.
ICE HOTEL
The ice hotel is located in Sweden
and it's one of the craziest hotels you could visit,
it's made of ice, obviously.
It has a total of 53 rooms, an art gallery, a bar
and all the amenities of a luxury motel.
The only difference of this with other conventional hotels
is that its walls, decoration and even the support of the bed is made of solid ice.
Initially people think that it is impossible to sleep in a bed like this
that looks so cold, but most first-time guests are pleasantly surprised,
they sleep like babies
and wake up in a room that looks like something out of a science fiction movie.
This hotel also has another peculiarity
and it is that every year they redecorate it from scratch
creating new sculptures and changing the atmosphere of the rooms.
This renewal occurs every November,
if you stay this year, the following year you will see it totally different.
Staying one night costs about $150 USD,
it depends on the time of the year,
the months of December to April are usually the ones that receive the most tourists.
If one day you are visiting Sweden,
it wouldn't hurt to give the ice hotel a visit,
it will be a unique experience.
GLASS CAPSULE
Located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in Peru,
these glass capsules make up a unique hotel
that you won't see anywhere else on the planet
and it is not a hotel suitable for the fearful...
I mean, for my cat.
- Screw you!
It's not my fault you're afraid of heights, Benny.
The name of this accommodation is Skylodge Adventure Suites
and they are glass rooms located on the side of a cliff, as you are already seeing.
If you are not a chicken and want to stay here
you can get to this site in two ways.
The first is climbing 400 meters from the base of the rock to the room
and the second is to do it through a network of zip lines,
once you get to the capsule you will have privileged views that you will never forget.
That same experience makes people from all over the world travel to this site
to stay in it.
Each suite is constructed from aerospace aluminum,
it has four beds, a bathroom and a dining room,
and everything you need to enjoy your hotel suspended 400 meters above the ground.
It is the first hanging hotel of its kind and it is a complete success.
Finding accommodation is not so easy,
you must book well in advance, so take that into account.
These glass capsules are among the most curious accommodations that exist.
BIVOUAC LUCA VUERICH
This is a hotel like no other,
it is located on the top of the Foronon del Buinz mountain, in Italy, in the middle of nowhere,
they have no civilization for miles around.
Reaching it is not easy at all, very few people achieve it,
it is usually experienced mountaineers who dare to reach this place.
More than a hotel, the Bivouac Luca Vuerich is a kind of accommodation,
you don't have to pay anything to stay here, it's free.
To get to this place you have to climb the whole mountain,
the accommodation is located at more than 2500 meters high,
So you can imagine that it is not easy at all.
Adventurers make the journey to get here
for the views it offers of Italy's Julian Alps,
climbing this mountain and getting here is totally worth it.
This small refuge was built as a tribute to a mountaineer named Luca Vuerich
who lost his life on this mountain at the young age of 34,
his friends and a group of masons built this Bivouac
for any mountaineer who wants to spend the night.
Considering its far away and remote location,
and the special views it has,
it is one of the most curious accommodations in the world.
NO MAN'S LAND FORT
The No Man's Land Fort hotel is located on the high seas,
near Portsmouth, in the UK.
Its peculiarity is that it is located in an old British fortress,
this place was built between the years 1867 and 1880
during Lord Palmerston's presidency.
The fortress was born with the aim of defending itself
from a possible attack by Napoleon the Third,
but the attack never came and the fortress was abandoned for a time.
After a lengthy renovation, the No Man's Land Fort became a 5-star luxury hotel
where the price of one night in one of its rooms can reach €1000 EUR.
The most expensive of the suites is located in the attic of the fortress
and offers a 360 degree view of the sea.
The hotel has 22 nautical-style rooms,
a nightclub, game room, several restaurants and a spa for you to pamper yourself.
No Man's Land Fort is one of the most exclusive hotels due to its high cost and its location,
not everyone can visit it.
It's not every day you stay in an old British fortress,
so I think it's one of the strangest hotels in the world.
BOAT-SHAPED HOTEL
This hotel is called 'Sun Cruise Resort and Yacht'
and it's one of the craziest hotels on the planet.
Have you seen that it is shaped like a boat? It is actually a ship.
The hotel is a boat 165 meters long, 45 meters high
and about 30,000 tons of weight.
It has 211 rooms, several restaurants,
a swimming pool, a nightclub and even a golf course.
It is a hotel like any other, only with an unusual style.
People who walk on the beach and see it for the first time are surprised.
Moreover, on the Internet many believe that this photograph of the boat on the mountain
it's actually photoshopped, but nothing like that,
it is a hotel.
It was inaugurated in 2002
and since then it is one of the most visited destinations by tourists visiting South Korea.
Thanks to the success of their idea
the company is thinking of opening other hotels like these
on different beaches around the world.
Due to its design, I think it is one of the most curious hotels I have seen.
CAPSULE HOTEL
Capsule hotels are an unusual accommodation option,
we are used to thinking of hotels as large spaces
with its lounges, bars, restaurants and comfortable rooms,
but the 'capsule hotels' are the opposite of that,
it's basically a capsule that you can't even stand up in,
they only serve for you to go to rest
and you can continue with your activities once you wake up.
There are many varieties of 'capsule hotels',
some have a video game console, internet connection and even a television,
and others is just a capsule.
Depending on how many extras your capsule has, its price varies,
you can find from $15 USD a night or so.
They usually have common areas that you can access if you stay overnight
and breakfast is included.
The idea of ​​these hotels arose in 1979, in Japan,
as an innovative way to save space
and get accommodation at a lower price than a conventional hotel.
And boy has it worked!
This concept started in Japan, but has already spread to all continents
and they are seen more and more frequently.
'Capsule Hotels', I think I'm not wrong if I tell you
that these are some of the strangest hotels that exist.
And that's all for today!

Well, if you liked it as much as I did,
