Are you looking for accommodations that are just a little out of the ordinary? Try one of these unusual places to stay on your next vacation or getaway:
Imagine sleeping in a space shuttle bed... it's an out-of-this-world experience! Want to launch your Florida vacation by taking in a little history? This quite ordinary hotel has been around almost as long as Florida's connection to the space program, making it an extraordinary part of Florida's Space Coast history. Its close proximity to Kennedy Space Center and Port Canaveral make it the perfect choice for a night or two's stay, particularly if you're lucky enough to land a reservation for the Space Shuttle Fantasy Room... where dreams are sure to take flight!

Experience the spirit of Africa... go on safari without leaving your balcony! As the sun rises above the savannah you can sip your morning coffee and enjoy a front row seat to a giraffe searching the tall trees for a morning meal or watch gazelles kick up their heels to welcome the day. Until now, the only place to experience anything comparable was at a wildlife reserve in Africa, but now guests at Walt Disney World Resort can recreate this experience every day.

Sleeping beneath the ocean is no longer just a dream... it can be a reality! Checking in at this hotel requires a check of your diving certification because it's a 21-foot dive to the entrance. Don't worry if you aren't certified... you can take a class and make this a real adventure!

Glass-enclosed atrium puts best of Florida under glass!

Spirits are said to inhabit this historical hotel! Whether you "believe" or not, hotel staff and locals insist that an unlucky number of 13 bona fide spirits inhabit this old hotel. In 1999, the Fox Network television series
Haunted Inns & Mansions filmed a segment here and anytime the segment replays, reservations spike as people come to search for real proof that ghosts actually do exist.

Disney's newest resort takes guests on historic journey of 20th Century American Pop Culture! Do you remember when you saved every penny of your allowance to buy the latest 45 rpm record? Or when "walkin' the dog" wasn't about canines, but the yo-yo craze? Or when you solved (or at least tried to solve) your first Rubik's Cube? Or rock-and-roll and table-top jukeboxes? Pop Century Resort features lodge buildings and furnishings inspired by different decades with giant pop culture icons — yo-yos, Rubik's cubes, jukeboxes and more — that celebrate the decade they were introduced in, or when they gained their greatest popularity. It's like a walk down memory lane!
