The Top 10 Most Awesome, Unique and Unusual Hotels in the U.S.

Typically, when we go on vacation, we don't spend much time at the hotel (unless, of course, you're on your honeymoon). Before you book your next vacation, consider staying at one of these unusual hotels. They're absolutely amazing! While staying at one of these places, you won't have a need to be anywhere else but the hotel, nor will you want to.

1. Jules' Undersea Lodge - (Key Largo, FL) That's right. This hotel is completely underwater. In fact, you have to scuba 21 feet just to get there. This is the perfect vacation for the scuba diving enthusiast. Not certified? Not a problem. They offer lessons. Decorated with fish pillows and blankets, this is the ultimate (and only) underwater vacation. Rates currently start as low as $375/person per night. Fee includes gear, breakfast and dinner.
