2. Null Stern Hotel, Switzerland

Image source/DezeemBy far one of the strangest looking hotel rooms on this list. Be prepared to expect some unbeatable views of the Swiss Alps when you stay in the Null Stern Hotel. The room is nothing more than a double bed in the middle of an alpine valley, however the guests are treated with butler service so they aren't exactly braving it out in the wild.
