Crazy House, Vietnam
From series “Top 16 Most Amazing Buildings of the Planet”Year: 1990.
The guests of the Vietnamese city of Dalat have a chance to spend a few days in the 'crazy house'. This is one of the most original hotels in the world. The building, the location of the hotel, can be compared with no other modern building. It looks like the dark castle from the gruesome film. The colorful next-door giraffe figure was designed to alleviate the dark exterior of the building. The author of the original project is the young architect, who has returned home after a few years of training in Russia and has achieved the courageous and peculiar idea.
The hotel is incredibly popular among tourists. The night in one of his rooms costs about 35 USD. The travelers who want to stay at the unusual hotel need to consider an important feature. The hotel regularly organizes the excursions, so the doors in all rooms are open from 7-00 to 17-00. The unified and quiet atmosphere can hardly be enjoyed in the 'crazy house'.
