Cool Hotels

We’re not fans of sterile, boring and mainstream places to stay here at GlobalGrasshopper so from our many collective trips across the world we’ve put together guides of where to find the most unusual, unique and hip hotels to suit a wide range of budgets. So, if you’ve been looking for something intimate and exclusive, we have collated the best and most beautiful boutique hotels across the world as well as contemporary design accommodation, quirky guest houses, funky hostels, cool retro motels, and even a few tree huts!

We have collections of our cool and unusual hotels in most of the popular cities around the world from Berlin to New York, and we’re always adding more.
