Tour operators and travel agents say that this year is especially there are many requests for non-standard, “original” placement. We have compiled a selection of unique hotels from different regions of our country with prices. In most cases, the cost of living in such facilities is very moderate, cheaper than in summer in Anapa. But there are, of course, expensive and unusual hotels.
Let’s say right away: there are many original and creative hotels in Russia, it will not be possible to tell about all of them at once. We have collected several “creative” hotels in different regions, which, among other things, tour operators told us about. In some of them, you will not be able to live on a budget, but the impressions and photos are worth it.
“HOBBIT LAND”
Where: Mozhaisk district, Moscow region (point on the map)
The guests of this eco-friendly hotel live in “hobbit” houses, sleep soundly, enjoy peace and quiet. And all this is surrounded by nature: flowers, birds, a bottomless night sky, a lake and a dense forest.
You can admire the forest, for example, like this: you are located in your house, by the fireplace. Take a cup of herbal tea and look out the round window.

The apartment is quite comfortable. The most budget offer is from 6.5 thousand rubles. per day for two. Extra bed – 1 thousand rubles. The houses for this price have furniture, a wood-burning stove, a tea corner, a peat eco-toilet, a washbasin and a sink (the shower is not in the house, but on the territory).
If you want a more comfortable house, and to have your own shower, then you need to pay more – from 9 thousand rubles per night for two. The choice of “hobbit houses” is large – 15 objects with different prices and different concepts.
There are also “people’s houses” – 3 types of cottages. The cost is from 18 thousand rubles. per day for 6-12 people, depending on the cottage.
By the way, Tolkien hotels have opened in many countries, but in some they have problems due to copyright (it turns out that all rights to any use of all characters and all visual elements of the Middle-Earth Universe from Tolkien’s books were bought at one time by an American businessman Saul Zaentz) and they are being closed. For example, this happened in Turkey with the popular hobbit hotel. We hope that this wave will not reach Russia soon.
ICADOMRUS MOBILE HOME
Where: the Nest natural complex in the Tyumen region (dot on the map).
A warm and authentic ikarus house awaits tourists here. Yes, a real bus, turned into a hotel by the light hand of designers. There are no seats on the hotel bus.
