2. Cambodia. Asia is one of the most fascinating places to visit out of all the continents. It is a beautiful place, filled with ancient history. However, the extreme hotel here is probably one of the smallest in the world, located in Siem Reap. It is called the One Hotel Angkor. It offers only one hotel suite to the public. Although the hotel is small, they have lots of amenities, like spas, massages, dining, a gorgeous lobby, a passage to the Old Market and the entire staff waiting on you!

3. Hong Kong. This city is known for its technology and its amazing skyscrapers. It’s really no wonder, then, that the extreme hotel in Hong Kong is the tallest building in the city. The hotel begins at the 102nd floor and ends at the 118th, effectively making it the tallest hotel in the world. It is not for those who are afraid of heights. But if you enjoy stunning views, you will absolutely love it here.

4. Key Largo, Florida. Staying under the sea might sound like a fanciful idea to you, but at the Jules’ Undersea Lodge you can stay 6.5 meters underneath the surface of the ocean. The structure was originally a marine lab that was converted into a hotel. You’ll have to scuba dive to reach your room. Outside the massively thick window of your room, you will be able to enjoy the curious stares of tropical fish! It is an amazing experience. For the ultimate bachelor looking to take his friends on a no expense spared stag party this could be the ultimate base for a Florida stag weekend!

5. Canada. The extreme factor of this hotel is unmatchable. Every year, the hotel is carved completely out of ice, thus the name the Ice Hotel. The floors, beds, lights, walls and everything else are carved!

6. Russia. It’s one of the biggest countries on the face of the earth, and it boasts a history as rich as its natural wonders. However, it also holds one of the biggest hotels in the world. The Izmailovo is located in Moscow, boasting an impressive 7,500 rooms. It was built in 1979 on the grounds of the historic Izmailovo village, the Royal Estate where Peter the Great grew up. The edifice has four massive towers and can accommodate more than 10,000 guests at one time!
