With so much of the word at our fingertips and more accessible than it has ever been before, many of us are looking for unique experiences to try, take photos of, and tell our friends about.
Hoteliers are aware of this, and more and more are built with what appears to be Instagram in mind!
Here are some of the most exclusive and individual hotels you can actually stay at.
The name gives this extraordinary hotel away a little. The Icehotel is exactly that, a full hotel made entirely from ice from the neighbouring Torne River. The holding temperature of the hotel is between -5 to -8 degrees Celsius, and each room is individually themed with hand-carved ice furnishings. During the summer seasons you will be able to experience the midnight sun, and in the winter months, if you are lucky, the Northern Lights!
An ice room not your thing? They also offer warm rooms too.

How does a hotel with a subterranean spa and a world-famous geothermal pool sound? Pretty incredible we would say.
The newly opened Retreat at the Blue Lagoon offers those staying there unlimited access to the Retreat Spa, Retreat Lagoon, Blue Lagoon and Blue Lagoon Ritual, as well as some rather special skin care products.
Similarly to the Icehotel, if you visit in the summer you too can enjoy the midnight sun, or have an excellent chance at viewing the Northern Lights in the winter.

Modern and striking architecture is set in the dramatic and wild Utah landscape at the Amangiri. This is not a location that you would expect to find such a luxurious hotel and spa.
Sit back and watch the sunset over the landscape in the Mesa View Suite, or try one of the two Terrace Pool Suits if you fancy your own private pool.
Outside the hotel you can enjoy lots of walking, so pack those comfy shoes and sunscreen!
Welcome to Naomi Campbells’ favourite hotel! Located on the cliffs of Negril on Jamaica’s west coast is The Caves. Described as ‘a handcrafted utopia which combines all the natural glamour of Negril, with a modern, Metropolitan attitude” all rooms at this resort feature views out to see and enjoy the sunset.
For obvious reasons, this hotel is a popular honey moon location, and guests can enjoy a private candle lit dinner in the caves. This really is unique experience.
