Malibu Dream Airstream

Perched on a cliffside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the Malibu Dream Airstream isn't your average campsite. Infront sits the California coast, while miles of untouched wilderness surrounds you on all three sides. The Airstream itself has been gutted down to its aluminum shell and reworked as an open studio featuring a queen-sized bed, kitchenette, and sitting area with a pull-out sofa. A glazed panel replaces the oceanfront wall, offering views to the entire interior as well as access to a cantilevered deck that looks out to the horizon beyond.

The Broadview Hotel

Located in Toronto's east end, The Broadview Hotel turns a 1891 landmark into boutique accommodations. The 125-year-old building has worn many hats although it still retains most of its historic qualities through exposed brick walls, arched windows, and vaulted ceilings. Each of the 58 rooms is both traditional and eclectic, furnished with red velvet drapes, printed wall coverings, and marble bathrooms. Bonus features include vinyl record players, locally stocked minibars, and a unique collection of artwork. The ground level's Cafe + Bar offers a casual spot to enjoy both coffee and cocktails, while The Rooftop takes advantage of its 7th-floor location by offering panoramic views of the Toronto skyline.

Castiglion del Bosco

Set on a 5,000-acre Italian estate, Castiglion del Bosco offers the best of Tuscany. The property dates back over 800 years and is located in the heart of the state's farming community. The former farmhouses have been renovated into eleven luxury villas featuring heated pools, outdoor terraces, and private gardens. Additional accommodations can be found in the main house with 23 suites fitted that include antique furniture, local textiles, and artisanal furnishings. Along with an 18-hole golf course that was designed by Tom Weiskopf, a pair of vineyards offer guest with tours, tastings, and unimaginable views.

Hotel Mar Adentro

Located on the coast of San José del Cabo, the Hotel Mar Adentro is completely inspired by water. The resort is entirely surrounded by shallow reflective, creating the illusion of a floating oasis. At the center, an oval swimming pool lined by custom teak lounges overlooks the sea. A dark concrete path parts the waters, leading to a 40,000 square-foot beach club where guests are served on built-in sunbeds from the food truck kitchen. Every guest room offers Poliform furniture, walk-in closets, covered terraces, and floor-to-ceiling glazing. Their minimal design and muted palette allow the ocean to be the main focus.

Ballguthof Hotel

Nestled at the foot of Monte S. Vigilio, the Ballguthof Hotel contrasts its rural alpine landscape with a modern black facade. The stark concrete structure is offset on its interior with a warm timber cladding throughout the reception area and lounge. Each of the rooms finds harmony between the exterior's clean lines and the Italian countryside with a mix of rustic wood and contemporary furnishings. Along with a sauna, bathing pond, Turkish bath, and outdoor pool, the property has ample ways to relax among the surrounding vineyards and orchards.

Native Hotel

Tucked in a hillside along the Pacific Coast Highway, the former Malibu Riviera re-emerges as the Native Hotel. The structure was originally built in 1947 and retains its mid-century roots with wood beams, handcrafted furniture, and concrete floors. All of the thirteen rooms are minimally decorated and offer king-sized beds, artwork exclusive to the hotel, bathrooms with ceramic tiles and brass fixtures, and Dutch doors that lead to a private patio. The only thing not available is TVs, leaving your mind to focus solely on the surrounding landscape, including nearby Zuma Beach and Point Dume.

The Ivey's Hotel

Housed in the J.B. Ivey & Company Department Store, The Ivey's Hotel brings a bit of Parisian charm to the heart of Uptown Charlotte. The restoration of the landmark preserved much of its historic characteristics, while also introducing European influences throughout the decor. Each of the 42 rooms feature reclaimed 400-year-old French oak floors, rich velvet furniture, custom lighting, and curated artwork, while the suites offer balconies overlooking the city. Outfitted in vintage wood and weathered leather furniture, The Library Lounge is where you'll start your day with a house-made espresso and end it with a glass of wine.

Deplar Farm

Surrounded by the rugged landscapes and icy fjords of northern Iceland's Troll Peninsula, the Deplar Farm provides adventure by day and top-of-the-line accommodations at night. The resort occupies a former sheep farm and retains that rustic charm throughout with local river stone, black timber cladding, and a grass-sodded roof. Although the nights are short, the 13 en suite rooms feature king beds, remote-controlled blackout blinds, and views of the surrounding lakes and rivers. You can admire the surrounding mountains with a Viking cocktail from behind the lounge's floor-to-ceiling glazed, or get out and experience them for yourself while heli-skiing or snowmobiling. Relaxing is also on the agenda with a full spa and nightly viewings of the Northern Lights in their geothermal infinity pool.

Halcyon Hotel

Situated within Denver's premiere Cherry Creek North neighborhood, the Halcyon Hotel offers Airbnb accommodations with five-star amenities. Check-in begins at the Kitchen Counter which also doubles as a cafe and wine bar serving hand-crafted espressos and baked goods. Their 154 rooms break traditional molds and take a more homey approach with couches, Nespresso brewing systems, curated art, and terraces with views of the skyline. Aside from the usual hotel amenities like a rooftop pool, wifi, and a 24-hour fitness center, Halcyon raises the bar up a few notches by including local Range Rover transportation, personal styling consultations, and access to their Gear Garage — an adventure concierge that lends out Piaggio scooters, New Belgium cruiser bikes, Leica cameras, and Go Pros.

Clayoquot Wilderness Resort

Situated along the waterfront on Vancouver Island, the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort is so remote it's only accessible by floatplane. Guests are shuttled in by horse-drawn carriage to 25 white canvas tents lining the water's edge. Every room is furnished with king beds, antique furnishings, heated bathroom floors, an outdoor shower, and a private deck. Salvaged cedar walkways lead guest to the spa, dining tents, the Cookhouse, and the Ivan Hoe lounge, a new addition to the property where guests can relax and gaze at the Bedwell River behind 10-foot glazed walls. Due to its rustic location, the water and forest provide horseback riding, fishing, whale-watching, and kayaking, all included in your stay. For the non-traditional adventure, their on-site helicopter can take any activity — fishing, zip lining, even yoga — off the ground.

Cayo Espanto

Just off the coast of Belize, Cayo Espanto offers all the perks of a private island without actually having to own it. The resort consists of just seven villas, each situated so that guests will feel like they're the only ones around. They range from one-bedroom beachfront to an overwater bungalow with a glass-bottom floor. Regardless of your choice, every villa includes its own plunge pool, private dock with lounge chairs, and a strip of white-sand beach. A custom menu is crafted specifically to each guest by the on-site chefs and is served in your own dining room or veranda. Along with a spa, the island also hosts some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving thanks to the world's second largest barrier reef.

The Brando

Set on an island owned by The Godfather himself, The Brando brings luxury and sustainability to the Pacific. The private atoll is made up of a cluster of small islets surrounding a central lagoon. The resort is located on the main island and is comprised of 35 villas, ranging from one to three bedrooms. Resembling Polynesian huts, each space features a king-size bed, sitting room, media room, outdoor bathtub, private plunge pool, and views of the lagoon. A pair of restaurants serves a mix of Polynesian-inspired dishes and classic French fare from Guy Martin of Paris' Michelin two star restaurant Le Grand Véfour. With its diverse range of birds and marine life, opportunities to explore both the land and sea are a plenty, whether it be snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, or on a Polynesian outrigger canoe.

Solar Eclipse Camps

Although the US is going to experience its first total solar eclipse in almost 40 years, the rare site will only be completely visible along the path of totality. This 70-mile-wide arc will pass through just 14 states — starting in Oregon and ending in South Carolina — leaving the rest of the country with just a partial view. If your permanent residence is outside of this trail, head to one of these Solar Eclipse Camps. This list of campsites will ensure you're within the prime eclipse-viewing range on August 21st, otherwise, you'll be waiting until 2024 for the next one.

Native Hostel

With hand-crafted bunks and black mountain marble countertops, Native Hostel is changing what you know about shared lodging. The Austin accommodations offer 12 rooms housed in an old limestone building. Rooms range from four to six-bed dorm-style bunkhouses, loft suites, and a ten-person Romper Room with three full baths, eight bunks, a California king, and a private living space — each room stylishly fitted with brass fixtures, red velvet privacy curtains, and vintage rugs. A 24-hour kitchen and bar complete the communal experience.

Waiheke Island Tent House

Surrounded by the lush vegetation, the Waiheke Island Tent House is the modernist's way to get in touch with nature. The structure mimics the simplicity of a pitched tent with its A-frame form, while its clean lines and sharp angles lend to a more contemporary design. Clad in a black tin, the exterior's dark facade is contrasted by a crisp white palette on the interior. The ground floor consists of a kitchen, living area, and sculpted spiral staircase that leads to a lofted bedroom. A wall of glass exposes both levels to natural light, as well as views of the rain forest setting. Although the name may make you think you're going to be roughing it, the closest thing you'll be to an actual campsite is when you're roasting marshmallows on the outdoor fire pit.

The Society Hotel

Built in 1881 to safely house sailors while on shore, The Society Hotel now serves as a refuge for Portland travelers. Accommodations come in three forms, offering a room for every type of guest. Bunkhouses give you the total hostel experience with custom-made triple decker bunks, lockers, a kitchen area, and a community table. Those looking for a more intimate sleeping arrangement, but still want the social element, can opt for a private room with a shared bath, while total seclusion comes in the form of a private suite. The lobby plays host to the hotel's cafe serving the finest coffee, beer, and wine from around the region.

Naked Stables Resort

Perched on a hillside at the foot of Moganshan, the Naked Stables Resort mixes luxury design with primitive techniques. The hotel is made up of 121 treehouse villas, constructed from stone masonry, traditional mud walls, and reclaimed timber frames. Surrounded by a bamboo forest, each room is immersed in the natural surrounding with generous glazing and private balconies. Ranging from casual poolside dining to European cuisine, a trio of restaurants serve a variety of fare made with ingredients harvested on-site. Entertainment includes the usual horseback riding, yoga, hiking, biking, golfing, and fishing, as well as some traditional activities like tea picking, bamboo weaving, and pottery — or you can opt to get behind the wheel of a Land Rover and rip through the longest all-terrain driving track in China.

Bird Island

Located in the Caribbean just off the coast of Belize, Bird Island is a secluded off-grid paradise. The private island is just a 20-minute boat ride from the mainland, which is included in your stay. Accommodations for six are spread out between the main house — equipped with a kitchen and living room — and two separate cabanas, powered by solar and wind generators. Even the water is collected and filtered on-site. The island isn't the only thing that's self-sufficient. Guests supply their own food and entertainment, with swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and kayaking right outside your doorstep.

Solar Eclipse Stay

As you might have heard, August 21 will mark the first total solar eclipse seen across the US in almost 100 years. This Solar Eclipse Stay is the ideal way to experience it. You'll start by spending the night of the 20th in a geodesic dome in rural Oregon, joined by an astrophysicist and a professional night sky photographer. The next day, as the Moon prepares to pass between the Earth and the Sun, you'll take to the skies in a private jet for a truly unique view of this rare celestial event. Not available for purchase, one lucky winner will get to enjoy the experience courtesy of Airbnb.

Bergaliv Hotel

Rising above the treetops on the Åsberget mountains, the Bergaliv Hotel has finished the first of four lofted cabins. The 33-foot tall stilted structure is constructed from a mixture of heart-pine and spruce, situated on a former ski slope. The interior offers accommodations for two on the lower level. Sheathed in raw birch plywood, the modest space carries a minimalist aesthetic consisting of just a simple kitchenette, dual window seat, and living area that also doubles as sleeping quarters. Above, a viewing platform rests below a gabled roof. Stripped of any barriers to the outdoors, the open-air space affords near endless views of the Ljusnan River valley below.

Arctic Bath

Free floating in the summer and frozen in place during the winter, the Arctic Bath is a hotel in the middle of the Lule River. Resembling a bird's nest, the circular structure is built around a central bath. But you won't seek refuge from the frigid Swedish climate here — the water is kept at a cool four degrees. After a refreshing dip, guests can warm up with a visit to the sauna or spa. Although the hotel also offers a shop, lounge, and restaurant, the main attraction is what's above. Its location allows for uninterrupted views of the Northern Lights.

Freehand Hotel Los Angeles

With a mix of shared rooms and luxury suites, Freehand Hotel Los Angeles provides a laid-back hostel atmosphere in the middle of downtown. Although the prices are comparable to that time you backpacked through Europe, the accommodations are not. Shared rooms can sleep four to six people in their custom cedar bunk beds, featuring hand-woven linens, privacy screens, reading lights, and en suite bathrooms. If the communal thing isn't your cup of tea, the hotel also has 167 private rooms, including a 745-square-foot Burroughs Suite with a king bed, living room, and sweeping city views. With restaurants, bars, a rooftop pool, and cafe serving the finest Nicaraguan coffees, there are plenty of other ways to socialize that don't require bunking with strangers.

Volcano Mini House

Hawaii is known for its beaches and volcanoes and the Volcano Mini House puts you right in the middle of both. Situate at the base of the world's most active volcano, the tiny home sits on a foundation of blackened lava. The 450-foot accommodation operates off-grid and offers a kitchenette, living room, and bathroom with a shower. Ocean views can be seen from the lofted bedroom, providing a rare glimpse of the smoky aftermath from the lava flowing into the water. Aside from the immediate attractions, the Mermaid Ponds, black sand beaches, and a 100-foot lava waterfall are just a short trip away.

Hotel Saint Cecilia

Named after the patron saint of music and poetry, the Hotel Saint Cecilia offers stylish accommodations with an emphasis on 60s culture. Each of the five suites, six poolside bungalows, and three studios are decked out like a Rolling Stones crash pad with an eclectic mix of rich colors, velvety textures, and vintage pieces. Features include King Hästens beds, sitting areas, soaking tubs, turntables, outdoor patios, and 24-hour room service. The property's lush gardens provide rock star-worthy privacy for the 50-foot lap pool. An adjacent wooden arbor offers poolside dining, while the rooftop terrace adds an intimate space for open air cocktails with views of downtown Austin.

Star Wars Immersive Hotel

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which Disney just unveiled a scale model of, is going to give an entirely new generation of visitors a reason to visit the happiest place on earth. If the new attraction isn't enough to book your tickets for 2019, this might be — an immersive Star Wars hotel. The experience looks to play as a setpiece, with guests donning uniforms and becoming part of a story that unfolds around them, complete with bleeping androids and bizarre aliens. It's cosplay for the whole family, in the cinematic universe we've all wanted to be a part of for since we were kids.

Helicopter Hotel Room

Thanks to the noise, we wouldn't want to sleep in a working helicopter. This Helicopter Hotel Room would do just fine though. Located at Mains Farm in Stirling, Scotland, this unique accommodation is inside a decommissioned Royal Navy ZA127 Sea King Helicopter. While the exterior received modest updates, the interior was transformed into a cozy room, with bright white walls, natural shelving, and a stainless steel kitchenette. There's sleeping room for five (two adults and three kids), as well as a lounge area in the cockpit, complete with the original flight deck and views of the countryside through the windows.

Cabin Moving Hotel

Instead of exhausting yourself with an early-morning flight, sleep your way from SF to LA aboard the Cabin Moving Hotel. This innovative new service offers round-trip service between the two cities, with trips departing at 11:00 pm and arriving by 7:00 am. While traveling, you can enjoy the comfortable design of their customized bus, including a private sleeping cabin with memory foam mattress, soft sheets, a personal outlet, blackout drapes, and soundproof walls. When you wake, you can take advantage of the freshly-brewed coffee, spacious bathrooms, and free Wifi. Tickets include two pieces of luggage per person, and the central boarding and de-boarding sites make it easy to complete the last leg of your journey.

Henrietta Hotel

Located in Covent Garden, the Henrietta Hotel is the first London hotel from the Experimental Group. Like their other projects, the 18-room hotel has a strong emphasis on food, cocktails, and design. Each room is unique with its own selection of rich fabrics, marble details, custom-made headboards, and minibars stocked with signature cocktails. The on-site restaurant is head by chef Ollie Dabbous and serves up seasonal dishes with a French influence. After dinner, drink historians Jared Brown and Anistatia Miller have crafted a menu of cocktails inspired by the historic area that can be enjoyed on the building's rooftop mezzanine.
