As much as I like nice hotels, there’s no denying they tend to be generic. A bed. A bathroom. A coffee machine. Sometimes there are robes in the closet. Sometimes there’s a smell like somebody died. You sleep, you leave, the next person arrives, and within weeks, you can hardly remember anything about the experience at all. Not so with the hotels below, all of which makes for good fodder at dinner parties. You might not be pampered, and there won’t be stars tacked onto the front wall, but what an experience!
