For couples who like to do things out of the ordinary, a themed hotel room might just be the answer for a special occasion. It takes a passion and brings it to life, so waking up surrounded by the things you love (as well as the one you love) can indeed feel like a dream come true.

Most themed hotel rooms are dedicated to pop culture. Movies such as Barbie , Harry Potter and Star Trek have such dedicated followings that they end up remaining permanent fixtures of a hotel's suite offerings rather than just temporary pop-ups. Then there are music icons like The Beatles and Dolly Parton who warrant their own themed boudoirs so that super fans can fully immerse themselves. But it isn't all about entertainment. Perhaps you've always wanted to stay underwater, to enjoy a piece of history, or you've just never grown out of LEGO—there are dedicated spaces for those too. We've rounded up 12 of the world's best themed hotel rooms for an unforgettable retreat , whether you're after a super-special anniversary trip or an amazing honeymoon destination .

The Wizard Chambers, Georgian House Hotel, London

They're on the lower ground floor, through a portrait-lined, candlelit passageway. Inside each of the chambers you'll find faux castle details including stone walls, cauldrons, stained glass windows and ultra-comfy four-poster beds hung with velvet curtains. Come on a weekend to add on their wizard-themed afternoon tea before a trip into Soho for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (the most awarded and acclaimed play in history, no less), or stay in and get merry in the hotel's potion-making class.

9 to 5 Suite, Graduate Nashville, Nashville

What would Dolly do? She'd kick her feet up and relax in Nashville, of course. Fans can get a slice of Dolly R&R at Graduate Nashville . The Music City stay packs bags of energy (read: dancing and social spots) and rooms popping with theatrics. The 9 to 5 Suite is their homage to the Queen of Country. It's inspired by Dolly's glitzy style; decked with pink feathers, disco ball-tile ceilings and neon signs spelling out her best one-liners. You'll even sleep on a California King waterbed. Guests can arrive in style with their white limousine airport pick-up service for $150.

101 20th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37203, USA

The Elizabeth Taylor Suite, Chobe Game Lodge, Botswana

For their second wedding and honeymoon, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton decided that the Chobe River in Botswana would be the most appropriate place to celebrate their relationship milestone. Safari-goers know that the only hotel within Chobe National Park is the appropriately deemed and five-star Chobe Game Lodge, which now honors the Hollywood royals with its luxe "Liz Taylor Suite."

Chobe National Park, Serondela, Botswana

John Lennon and Yoko Ono Suite, Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth, Montreal

If the latest Beatles frenzy is anything to go by, there's still a major appetite for following the tracks of the Fab Four. For couples, how about replicating the honeymoon of John Lennon and Yoko Ono? The couple staged "Bed-Ins for Peace" protests against the war back in 1969, and Montreal was one of their stops. They checked into the 17th floor of the Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth , and it was here they recorded "Give Peace a Chance." Today, couples can stay in the converted two-bedroom suite, which features memorabilia from the original "Bed-In," including images, relics and video recordings. The living room space is also arranged in the style of the famed press setup.

900 Rene Levesque Boulevard West, Montreal, QC, H3B 4A5, Canada

The Dior Suite, The St. Regis, New York

Occupying the 12th floor of the St. Regis Hotel, this 1,700-square-foot suite pays homage to one of the most beloved luxury fashion brands in the world. Decorated with inspiration from the Parisian Dior atelier, the accommodation features whimsical fashion artwork against a distinguished Dior-worthy color palette. The location also plays a factor: Fifth Avenue is steps away.

Two E 55th St, New York, NY 10022

Final Frontier, The Curtis, Denver

The Curtis is more than just another DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel—it's a themed paradise. Select one of their Hyper Themed Rooms and you'll immerse in sports, discos and even talk show hosts. The Final Frontier is a fan favorite that's dedicated to Star Trek . It's dressed in galactic colors, offering guests a chance to sleep in the company of Kirk, Spock and Sulu (well, card cutouts of them), and catch up on reruns on the flat-screen TV. With rates at around $250, this themed experience is a steal.

1405 Curtis Street, Denver, Colorado, 80202, USA

The Underwater Suites, Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai

Why go to the aquarium when you can bring the aquarium to you? The Underwater Suites at Atlantis, The Palm is a mermaid fantasy realized and a honeymoon bucket list stay. Your bed and bathroom come with floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel's Ambassador Lagoon, which is home to a staggering 65,000 marine animals. You'll wake up to the sights of sharks and rays, and float in the marble bathtub while watching seas of snapper shimmer by. The sights are so transfixing, you won't want to leave the suite. Good thing 24-hour private butler service is available, as well as an underwater wellness center.

Crescent Road, The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE

Barbie Suite, Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur

To spend a night in a movie-themed dollhouse, check into the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur 's Barbie Suite, a 340-square-foot space decked out in retro pink Barbie mania and celebrating the character's multitude of careers. There's not one, but 14 Barbie Suites at the hotel. For the complete experience, guests can select the Barbie Ultimate Staycation Package, which includes breakfast, pink teatime in a box and a surprise gift.

12 Jalan Pinang, Kuala Lumpur, 50450, Malaysia

All Rooms, Sweets Hotel Ruby Shibuya, Tokyo

Love hotels are big business in Japan. Technically, they're lovers dens aimed at per-hour users (if you catch our drift), but they're gaining popularity with tourists who come for the photo opportunities. You'll be surprised at how exceptionally clean and decently priced they are. Sweets Hotel Ruby Shibuya is one of the many love hotels by Dogenzaka in Shibuya. Outside, it's a carnival of lollipops and candy canes, and inside, each room is themed to a kind of dessert treat, from chocolate to gingerbread. The reception desk has a complimentary candy counter to get your sugar fix. Enjoy Willy Wonka's world in budget hotel form, as prices start at just $80.

19-9 Maruyamacho, Shibuya City, Tokyo 150-0044, Japan

Superyacht Penthouse Suite, Sunborn Gibraltar, Gibraltar

If you're a couple who loves cruising but wants to take a break from the sail, then how about the world's first five-star yacht hotel? Sunborn has all the elements of a luxury cruise, but it's docked by land so you needn't worry about getting seasick. For a White Lotus billionaire experience, spend your honeymoon in the Superyacht Penthouse Suite, the ship's most plush offering with incredible Mediterranean sea views. Tip: Order breakfast to your hammock.

35 Ocean Village Promenade Gibraltar, GX11 1AA, Gibraltar

Pirate Room, Hotel LEGOLAND, Denmark

The town of Billund in Denmark might as well be renamed LEGOLAND—it's where the world-famous bricks are from and where the mahoosive LEGOLAND resort and theme park is situated. An on-site hotel gives adults and kids a chance to fully immerse themselves and build blocks until they fall asleep. Our favorite themed room is the pirate room, filled with maps and escape-room-esque decor. Other room themes include kings and dragons, and an adventure room.

Aastvej 10, Billund 7190 Denmark

Hello Kitty Room, Asakusa Tobu Hotel, Tokyo

Konnichiwa, Kitty! Asakusa Tobu Hotel in Tokyo has the ultimate stay for fans of the beloved Sanrio cartoon character. There are two types of rooms to select from, one in a traditional Japanese style and the other in a more modern Western style. Both are pink and feature Hello Kitty themes everywhere—on the wall, on the bed cushions and even in the bathroom. Guests also receive a Hello Kitty welcome gift as a souvenir. Sleeping up to four people a room, this is an ideal option for bachelorette trips or couples traveling with kids.

8 offbeat themed hotel rooms for fantasy vacations and romantic getaways

January 25, 2024 // By Lesley Balla

By Lesley Balla January 25, 2024

Why have a basic vacation when you can live out your greatest fantasy as a caveman or space explorer? Maybe you want to sleep like a hobbit or spend the night in an Idaho potato. With so many quirky, creative, and downright offbeat hotel rooms around the country, you can do all that and more.

Themed hotel rooms are a kitschy throwback to the '70s and '80s, a time when people were looking for an escape within driving distance. They're typically located on smaller highways in out-of-the-way places, perfect for road trips or an afternoon tryst.

While themed hotel rooms might seem unconventional, these hotels have amenities to make any road-weary traveler comfortable, from in-room hot tubs, fireplaces, and even movie screens, to swimming pools and popular restaurants on the properties. Visit one of these eight unforgettable hotels on your next getaway.

Big Idaho Potato Hotel, South Boise, Idaho

When one potato closes, an Airbnb opens. That’s right: You can spend the night in a potato-shaped room in the middle of Idaho, every spud-lover’s dream.

This 6-ton potato structure was built for the Idaho Potato Commission’s 75th anniversary and toured around the country on a flatbed truck. After the tour, instead of letting the potato, er, rot in an Idaho field, a tiny-house builder turned the tater into a short-term rental.

The single-room Big Idaho Potato Hotel is energy-efficient, sparsely yet comfortably decorated, and air-conditioned. To make up for the fact that the bathroom is in an adjacent silo, it's more like a spa with a giant whirlpool and skylight.

The Victorian Mansion at Los Alamos, Los Alamos, California

Along California's Central Coast, Los Alamos has a lot going for it — fantastic wine tasting and vineyards, nationally recognized restaurants, and The Victorian Mansion , a bed-and-breakfast with six uniquely themed hotel rooms.

Rock around the clock in the '50s Suite, complete with diner-style neon and a 1956 Cadillac bed, parked like it’s at a drive-in movie. (There's even a movie screen and projector!) One room looks like a pirate’s ship, and another feels like a tent oasis in the middle of the desert.

The newest themed hotel room, the Hobbit Hole, has a round entry and windows, rock and wood beams, and wizard’s robes a la “Lord of the Rings.” Oh, my precious!

Sunset Inn & Suites, Clinton, Illinois

From the highway, the Sunset Inn & Suites looks like any other nondescript roadside inn. Inside, however, you’ll find fantasy (adults-only) suites that run the gamut, from a wood cabin-themed hotel room to ones fashioned after a rainforest and a safari.

The most popular and newest themed hotel room is Paradise Beach, an island-inspired getaway that includes a boat bed, tropical shower, and private tiki bar. Flip a switch, and the walls turn from a sunny day at the beach to a beautiful sunset and starry skies.

The hotel offers standard rooms as well, plus a continental breakfast, indoor pool, sauna, and gym. But why be ordinary?

Madonna Inn, San Luis Obispo, California

This 110-room inn along California’s Central Coast is a destination all its own. The property boasts a pool and spa, a steakhouse with whimsical decor, a lounge that screams martini time, and a bakery for gorgeous layered cakes and pies. But the themed hotel rooms are the biggest draw of the Madonna Inn .

No two of the 110 rooms look alike. Many have rock waterfall showers — like the Caveman room, one of the most popular; others have balconies and fireplaces. There’s lots of color and quirky vibes in every corner of the place. It’s the perfect respite for road trips along Highway 101.

Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada

The Hallmark Channel doesn't have a lock on year-round Christmas. With its bright garlands, twinkling lights, Elf on the Shelf-themed bathrooms, and three fully decorated trees, the Christmas Suite at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino will have you feeling festive whenever you want.

It’s just one of several fantasy suites at the resort, along with a Halloween-themed room, and one decked out for cowboys and cowgirls. Surprisingly, there isn't a King of Rock-themed room, as Westgate was once the International Hotel, where Elvis Presley had a multiyear residency .

Jules’ Undersea Lodge, Key Largo, Florida

It’s one thing to pretend you’re sleeping at the bottom of the sea in a themed hotel room. Or you can actually do it at Jules’ Undersea Lodge in the Florida Keys.

Attached to the seabed in a protected lagoon, this two-bedroom apartment can only be reached by scuba diving. If you’re not a certified diver, you can take a short training course at the undersea park before heading to your underwater accommodations.

Watch sea life (or one of your diving mates) through the portholes, or sit back and watch a movie. There’s Wi-Fi, so you can take your phones and tablets. Just like any hotel room, you'll find snacks and drinks. For dinner, nibble on pizza delivered right to your door. Everything is temperature-controlled and closely monitored (meaning: the oxygen) for safe overnight stays.

Black Swan Inn, Pocatello, Idaho

Not far from Salt Lake City and several national parks, the Black Swan Inn’s themed hotel rooms bring people from all over the world to this little sliver of Idaho.

Each of the 15 suites has extravagant decor, from a pirate’s cove to a jungle fantasy, a tropical paradise, a 17th-century garden, or a sea cave (the latter has a giant clamshell bed, of course). All feature original, hand-painted murals, and some have waterfalls, fish ponds, and steam showers right in the middle of the room!

The Anniversary Inn, Logan, Utah

If you have a fantasy vacation in mind, The Anniversary Inn probably has a room to make it a reality. Spread around seven buildings, the Logan, Utah, inn features more than 30 themed hotel rooms for romance, adventure, or just plain relaxing away from it all.

With a queen-size bed set in the back of a 1960 Ford pickup truck, a big LCD screen for movies, or TV watching, and an unlimited soda fountain, Rich’s Drive-In is the most popular room. For those who need a touch of reality, there’s also a jetted tub and waterfall shower.

If you’re looking for an African safari, Hawaiian paradise, pirate’s ship, or NASA space room, you’ll find them here — and at one of the other three Anniversary Inn locations in Utah and Idaho.

Sarah Rand • Jan 19, 2024

Immersive experiences are increasingly popular in travel accommodations . While all hotels are technically themed, truly unique stays are the new trend.

Check out these iconic hotels all over the world that can set the perfect mood for a phenomenal vacation, whether the trip is for solo tourists, traveling couples or families. 

Kid Themed Hotel Rooms

These themed rooms are attentively decorated and have youthful motifs from floor to ceiling. While children love these playful rooms, they are truly made for anyone to enjoy. If these themes spark a feeling of excitement, these rooms may be perfect for an upcoming trip. 

Wizard of Oz 

This room in New York is inspired by the 1939 fantastical film “The Wizard of Oz”. The emerald green room is located in the Roxbury Motel, which is owned by ex-theater connoisseurs. The themed room is officially titled “ The Wizard’s Emeralds ” and has a real yellow brick road that leads guests through the luxury room. A stay in this hotel, that is over the rainbow, will cost travelers around $213-348 per night. 

Spongebob Squarepants 

The Nickelodeon resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic is home to the Pineapple Villa. The luxury villa has two beds and three baths as well as private butlers. All Nickelodeon hotels are all-inclusive, so travelers can enjoy plenty of perks. At this resort, there are plenty of exciting events for kids to enjoy. Guests can check out character meet and greets, get slimed, enjoy the six-acre water complex and meet new friends at Club Nick. This decked-out room starts at $6,385 a night. 

Cinderella Castle

This regal room at Disney World Orlando is a child’s dream. The Cinderella Castle Suite at Walt Disney World Resort is an authentic and extremely exclusive room . This suite may be out of reach for many since practically the only way to stay in the room is to win it. Unfortunately, guests can not straight out book this extravagant room. Disney occasionally runs contests (or programs like Make-A-Wish) so that the winner can spend around five nights in the exclusive suite.

The Fantasyland Hotel in Edmonton, Canada has plenty of unique themed rooms. The pirate room is one of the coolest offerings and guests will appreciate the detailed features of the room. The room has a jacuzzi, a king sized bed and a set of pirate ship bunk beds which sets the scene for its guests in a playful mood. For $370 a night, travelers can commandeer a pirate ship without anyone having to walk the plank.

Star Wars 

This room in England is complete with sabres and character costumes. The cabin is named “Lord Vader’s Quarters” and it is a great room for hard core Star Wars fans. Whether fans consider themselves Imperialists or Jedis, the authentic memorabilia on the walls will turn heads. Solo travelers, families and even couples have enjoyed this room located in Hotel Pelirocco .  

Adult Themed Hotel Rooms

These themes are a little more complex, so they are better fit for grown ups. From famous filmmakers to favorite foods, these hotels offer more mature themes. These accommodations offer luxurious and distinct places for travelers to stay in from many different corners of the world. 

Kingpin 

The Kingpin suite in Las Vegas is the perfect accommodation for high rollers. At the Palms Casino Resort, guests can enjoy a private paradise with an array of amenities. The room has two professional bowling lanes, a DJ booth, pool table, twelve televisions, complimentary airport transportation (roundtrip) and 24 hour butler service. So, it is clear that guests will get to experience luxury for the VIP when booking this colossal room (which is 4,240 square feet and can fit 10 guests). 

Ramen 

This room in Gapyeong, South Korea is a quirky yet cool option for travelers. It is in the Unique Pension, which guests can reserve online (with knowledge of Korean). If ramen is a favorite and the steamy noodle delicacy entices almost too well, there is a unique room that celebrates that fondness. The room even has a lifesize ramen cup bed that guests can cozy up in, which is one of the most popular features of the accommodation. Each room has a kitchen and guests can even book an option where the owner (who lives next door) provides meat and vegetables for guests to cook. 

The Space Suite in Switzerland takes guests on a journey through the galaxy. The immersive suite is truly a work of art, since it was designed by the artist Michael Najjar. The furnishings of the room include astronaut decor, a walk in closet and a floating bed. While the space-themed suite is actually quaint and fits only one to two guests, it still is an accommodation option that is out of this world. 

Travelers looking for a truly unique and unprecedented themed room will love this treehouse in Sweden. The extraterrestrial accommodation can hold five guests with its surprisingly spacious floating experience. It is located in a vast pine forest, much like UFOs in movies that land in a stranded area. This treehouse is a nature enthusiast’s dream since it is situated in the woods and is near the Lule River. 

Wes Anderson 

This high-end hotel in Oregon is a secluded forest experience that film fanatics will not want to miss. The woodland lodge is a hip, minimalist accommodation in the distinct style of the famous filmmaker Wes Anderson. From the rustic cabins of “Moonrise Kingdom” to the classic yet fanciful stylings of Anderson’s vibrant movies, this accommodation is great for fans. Although it is no “Grand Budapest Hotel,” this humble stay is an exciting blast into the big screen.

The Wow Factor Comes Standard

Some hotels are famous in their own right , but others have to do a bit more to stand out. One way to do that: Offer eye-popping themed hotel rooms that give guests an immersive experience, not just a place to crash at night. Just look at the Roxbury in Roxbury, New York, where guests can stay in a room decorated like the Emerald City. Or the Adobe Grand Villas in Sedona, Arizona, where you can stay in a wagon wheel-themed room. Whether you're into grungy dives or SpongeBob, these fun and wacky hotel rooms await you at home and abroad.

The Cinderella Castle Suite  is the only hotel room that's inside Magic Kingdom , and no amount of money can buy you a stay here — it's typically reserved for contest winners . Still, it's the pinnacle of a fairy-tale hotel experience, with stained-glass windows, carved furnishings, mosaic floors, luxurious draperies, and an awe-inspiring spa tub with a starry ceiling. Like magic, a painting of Cinderella above the fireplace becomes a TV, and the famous glass slipper is on display in a special cabinet.

Treehotel in Harads, Sweden Book It

There are a nine wildly unique "rooms" to choose from at Sweden's Treehotel , all of which are hoisted above ground in the surrounding forest. The most out-of-this-world selection? The UFO, designed by architect Bertil Harström and featuring one double bed and three single beds. Enter the UFO through an electric, collapsible ladder in the floor, and keep an eye out for extraterrestrial visitors.

• A hotel room is nice but a whimsically themed suite is an experience.
• We chose the coolest, most unique hotel suites in the US designed with families in mind.
• Here's where you can sleep like SpongeBob in a Pineapple Villa or channel Eloise at the Plaza. 

A plush, comfortable hotel room is a treat. But a whimsically themed, over-the-top suite is an experience, especially for families.

Picture the sense of glee when your kids realize they'll be spending the night in Spongebob's pineapple. These experiential, unique accommodations become part of the vacation rather than merely a place to sleep. 

Immersive stays are gaining in popularity, too. Next spring, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will debut at Walt Disney World, a wholly themed, story-driven experience from the food to the accommodations and interactive role-playing. In the meantime, stay at the Plaza like Eloise, sleep next to Powerpuff Girls, or catch some winks in a Lego-laden locale.

I'm a travel writer who has extensively researched and written about elaborate hotels. I am always searching for elements that elevate a hotel in spectacular ways. In fact, it's the focus of my current book "Bring the Magic Home," coming out next year from Disney about themed living spaces. Here are some of the best places I've found.

• The best themed hotel suites for families

These are the coolest themed hotel suites for families, sorted by price from low to high. 

Book Cartoon Network Hotel

Here's your chance to stay at the only Cartoon Network-themed hotel in the world. Located Next to the Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park in Lancaster, PA, this family-friendly hotel was once a Ramada Inn and a Continental Inn until all of its 165 rooms were completely remodeled to feature popular Cartoon Network shows. 

In addition to regular rooms that feature a smattering of Cartoon Network motifs, there are bold offerings, like the colorful Powerpuff Girl Suite, and others modeled after TV shows like "Adventure Time," "Ben 10," and "Steven Universe."

Channel your favorite show through blankets, pillows, wall murals, and art. Suites have a separate bedroom with a master bath, and TVs features prominently, as you might expect: two sets of bunk beds each have their own 32-inch televisions connected to each bunk, and there is also a 75-inch television in the living room with custom Cartoon Network channels only for hotel guests. In addition, suites have a kitchenette and a dining table that sits six.

If you manage to cut down on screen time, the hotel also has large indoor and outdoor pools, a water play zone, an outdoor theater with a large movie screen, a game room, an interactive play area, and an arcade. They are also a variety of Cartoon Network-themed activities with crafts, scavenger hunts, and coloring in the Toon Room.

COVID-19 procedures are available here . 

Book Yosemite Pines RV Resort and Family Lodging

Along with well-appointed RV spaces, yurts, and cabins, the Yosemite Pines RV Resort and Family Lodging offers "glamping" experiences in Conestoga wagons that are great fun for kids learning about the Oregon Trail or American history.

The resort is located near Yosemite National Park making it a handy place to rest after a day of exploring and they come with air-conditioning, heat, a small refrigerator, microwave, a coffee pot, and aesthetic touches like wagon wheel tables and rustic wood bunk beds. While they don't have kitchens, toilets, or showers, they do have their own barbecues and picnic tables and shared bathrooms are available nearby.

For a more modern experience, retro trailers come with kitchens.  

Even though most spend much of their daytime hours in nearby Yosemite, there's plenty to do at Yosemite Pines including a pool and a game area with a sand-based volleyball court, tetherball, bocce ball, and horseshoes. There is also a small playground and a petting farm with goats, bunnies, chickens, and a llama. 

COVID-19 procedures are available here .

Book Great Wolf Lodge

The Great Wolf Lodge currently has 20 locations sprinkled around the country, from Anaheim in California to the Poconos in Pennsylvania. The concept of the Great Wolf Lodge is to offer an affordable family getaway featuring indoor year-round water parks, kid-centric activities, entertainment, and various dining options.

In addition to standard rooms, there are two types of themed suites, the Kid Cabin Suite and the Wolf Den Suite. Each sleeps six with a Queen bed, a sleeper sofa, and bunk beds. The Kid Cabin includes a partially enclosed sleeping area with bunks that looks like it is made of logs for a cabin within the room effect, and the Wolf Den features a cave-themed separate sleeping area. Both are roomy with rustic touches like nature art adorning the walls and coffee tables that look like a well-traveled steamer trunk.

Great Wolf Lodge's signature attraction is its huge indoor water park with slides, pools, and splash zones, and other activities include mini-gold panning, bowling, ropes courses, an arcade, story time, character appearances, family yoga, dance parties, and arts and crafts, which are all included as part of the nightly fee. 

Book Disney's Art of Animation Resort

Disney's Art of Animation resort at Walt Disney World is a popular choice for families looking to sleep within the Disney bubble on a budget. Disney's Art of Animation is one of the cheapest Disney hotels but is still very kid-focused. The resort pays homage to some of Disney and Pixar's most beloved animated films, which are represented everywhere you look, from the lobby to hotel room bathrooms.

Family suite themes at Disney's Art of Animation include "Cars," "Lion King," and "Finding Nemo." The "Cars" suite includes design elements such as a couch that looks like vintage car seats, dressers akin to a mechanic's tool chest, and a bathroom similar to a car wash. These suites are best for those who love these specific movies; otherwise, the experience might not be worth it.

The theming carries on to the pool areas, too. The Big Blue Pool, inspired by Pixar's "Finding Nemo," has over 308,527 gallons of water, making it the largest pool in Walt Disney World. Nearby, the Cozy Cone Pool is an eye-catching homage to Pixar's "Cars" with orange-cone cabanas.

Book The Roxbury

The Roxbury at Stratton Falls and its sister property, the Roxbury Motel, offer a wide range of themed rooms and suites. Located about an hour west of Albany, NY, the Catskill lodgings are self-described as "if Alice in Wonderland married Willy Wonka and set up residence in Oz." And they are correct. The rooms and suites are wild, eclectic, and extremely elaborate.

While the Roxbury Motel has standard rooms starting at $95, families would be more comfortable booking something larger, filled with magic and fantasy, such as a Tower Cottage. Choices include the Cinderella's Gown-themed suite with an 18-foot ball gown doubling as a bedroom canopy and a giant pumpkin that leads to the bathroom, or Galileo's Gate, with an observation deck with a glass ceiling. The Crown of the Pendragons meanwhile has a secret shower, and the newest addition, The Faerie Forest, offers an extravagant two-bedroom suite with floor-to-ceiling trees, rock walls, a faux sky ceiling, and all sorts of pixie dust. 

Whichever location you book you'll enjoy the perks of both, such as a pool, sauna, breakfast, and adjacent trail system that leads to a 50-foot waterfall.

Book Legoland New York Hotel

The Legoland Hotel recently opened in New York's Hudson Valley as the last element of the huge 500-acre Legoland New York Resort. The hotel is adjacent to the Legoland amusement park making it especially convenient for families with Lego-obsessed kids.

The themed hotel suites elevate the Lego experience, too, with choices that include Kingdom, Lego Friends, Lego Ninjago, and Pirate elements. These rooms include a King bed, bunk beds, a pull-out trundle bed, and an entertainment unit. A variety of perks for little guests include a welcome treasure hunt and Lego bricks to play with in the room.

Other standout amenities include a complimentary breakfast buffet, nightly children's entertainment, character meet-and-greets, and a workshop with Lego Master Builders.

Book Universal's Loews Portofino Bay Hotel

The Italian-inspired Loews Portofino Bay is a beautifully appointed resort that feels far from the busy, buzzing nature of Universal Orlando.

The hotel exudes an upscale vibe that parents will certainly enjoy with elaborate fountains, outdoor cafes, and serene spots to rest and relax. Though, that's not to say this isn't kid-friendly. In addition to tastefully appointed standard rooms, there are Despicable Me Kid's Suites that fans of the move will love.

These suites are large, about 800 square feet, and include a King bedroom and a separate room with two twin beds shaped to look like missiles straight out of Gru's Laboratory. The main wall features a massive mural of Minions with caution tape detailing painted along the room's edges. The parent's room, however, is much more grown-up, with an Italian vibe similar to the rest of the hotel.

The major perk of staying here is that guests enjoy Universal Orlando Resort benefits like the Universal Express Unlimited, which lets you skip the regular lines at various park attractions, as well as the "Breeze into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Universal's Volcano Bay," which allows you to enter those areas an hour before other guests.

Additionally, there are three pools, a bocce ball court, and numerous dining options.

Book The Plaza New York

Old-school elegance shines at the iconic Plaza Hotel in New York City. Located in Midtown Manhattan, this historic luxury hotel has been welcoming guests since 1907, including luminaries like F. Scott Fitzgerald and wife Zelda, Frank Lloyd Wright, the Beatles, and one of its most famous guests, Eloise, the gregarious heroine of Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight's beloved picture books. Eloise lived at the Plaza and fans of this fun-loving little girl will love the carefully curated Eloise Suite which brings her story to life.

The Eloise Suite, designed by the fashion designer Betsey Johnson, is an opulent show of pink and gold. A variety of Eloise touches feature prominently, from the bedspread to the wall art, and Eloise books, dolls, and clothing supplied to play dress-up. It's a one-bedroom King room but can be booked along with the adjacent Nanny Suite.

When booking the suite, guests receive thoughtful Eloise-themed perks such as tea for two at the stunning Palm Court, an Eloise gift bag, an Eloise robe, a welcome letter from Eloise, as well as sweets and goodies "chosen by Eloise" along with pink lemonade and other Eloise branded items.

It's one of many lavish suites at the Plaza, which also includes the Royal Three Bedroom Suite, the regal Fitzgerald Suite, and the Tower Suite with a 23-foot ceiling. 

Book the Disneyland Hotel

The Disneyland Hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of both Disneyland Resort and Disney California Adventure. It is the first-ever Disney hotel and gives off a retro vibe that is attractive to all ages, from the Monorail-themed waterslide to the Alice in Wonderland teacup seats in the lobby.

The hotel is comprised of three towers; one is home to a collection of Signature Suites, including a Fairy Tale Suite, a Big Thunder Suite, a Mickey Mouse Penthouse, and a Pirates of the Caribbean Suite. But one of the most inviting is the immersive Adventureland Suite.

The main living area of the Adventureland Suite is evocative of the study of a world traveler with library walls, a plush daybed, fireplace, rich woods, velvet upholstery, elephant lamps, and world globes.

The master bedroom features a canopy bed, a deep leather club chair, ornate rugs, and a claw foot tub. There is also a shower rock grotto with a foot spa, steam and rain showers, and sound effects that make it feel as if you are bathing in a tropical jungle.

Kids have their own room on the other side of the suite, designed to look like a safari tent and accented by art from the Jungle Cruise. 

If you book this room, you'll want to maximize your time there. But if you do leave the suite, there is plenty to do. Disneyland and California Adventure are a short walk away, and the Disneyland Hotel's pool features a retro monorail waterslide, a splash zone for kids, and lots of lounge chairs. Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar is wildly popular for its tropical tiki drinks.

Book Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana

Located 25 miles north of Punta Cana Airport, adjacent to Uvero Alto Beach, Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, is a family resort destination for fans of the network.

While all of the suites are well-appointed, the Pineapple Villa is in a class of its own. The 2,292 square foot loft-style villa boasts two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a pull-out sofa bed, private gardens, a private infinity pool, and loads of SpongeBob SquarePants references.

Enter through a giant pineapple to discover beachy decor with sea-inspired details, cheerful hues, and all the creature comforts you'd expect from a luxury suite. The villa comes with a private butler to take care of any needs, from food to laundry.

This sprawling resort is all-inclusive, and there are 10 restaurants, a water park that includes signature green slime, a lazy river, and swim-up bar. Kids can visit Club Nick with a variety of crafts and activities, and Nickelodeon characters like Dora and Boots, Shimmer and Shine, Skye from PAW Patrol, and SpongeBob SquarePants make regular appearances.

What state has the most options for family theme suites?

Florida is the state with the most options from our list, including the Despicable Me Suites at Universal's Loews Portofino Bay and the family suites at Disney's Art of Animation. There are also other options like the Princess and the Frog rooms at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside or the Legoland Hotel in Orlando.

How big of a family can sleep in these suites?

Most of the suites on this list can sleep four, but there are a couple of exceptions. The Eloise Suite at the Plaza only has a king-size bed, unless you add on the Nanny Suite.

A few can sleep more than four like the Pineapple Villa at Nickelodeon Hotel, the Great Wolf Lodge's suites, and the family suites at the Art of Animation can sleep six. The Adventureland Suite at Disneyland can sleep five.

Which of these theme hotels are best for couples?

While most of these hotels, such as Great Wolf Lodge and Legoland Hotel, are distinctly designed for kids, there are a few that would make for a romantic getaway, too. The Roxbury and the Adventureland Suite at the Disneyland Hotel are both locations well-suited to a whimsical honeymoon or romantic trip. 

Is it safe to stay in hotels?

At this time, the CDC states that domestic travel is safe if you are fully vaccinated. While the vaccination rates vary by location, the unvaccinated should continue to take extra precautions, including those 12 and under who aren't yet able to be vaccinated. 

It is advisable that all travelers should continue to follow the CDC and local guidelines such as wearing masks, social distancing, and using hand sanitizing. 

All of the hotels that we've included in this list have cleaning protocols for the guest room and the public spaces to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

9 Amazing Themed Hotel Rooms Around the World

Wake up, open your eyes, and gaze around the rainforest. There are vines hanging from the ceiling, stone carvings along the walls, bursts of colorful flowers, and a towering treehouse.

It’s another beautiful day in … Idaho. 

Confused? Don’t be. This is the magic of a themed hotel room. It’s another level of travel wrapped inside the experience you’re already having. The best themed rooms can whisk families around the world, to different moments of time, even off into space. Here are some of the most unusual and interesting. 

Adventure Suites 

North Conway, N.H. 

You won’t find anything typical at Adventure Suites, a 17-suite hotel where each of the rooms has a different theme, from a treehouse to a cave complete with petroglyphs. The most over-the-top offering is for brave souls only — a three-story haunted mansion, where spooky projections and moving objects mean you might not sleep a wink. adventuresuites.com

Black Swan Inn

Pocatello, Idaho 

Arabian Nights, Mayan Rainforest, and Pirates are just a few of the leitmotifs at this small, quirky property in the middle of Idaho. Each room features artistic embellishments, plus mood music, special lighting, and other special features to help set the tone. One standout is the sea cave suite, with two aquariums and a king-sized bed inside a hand-sculpted clam shell. blackswaninn.com

Clear Sky Resorts Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon Junction, Arizona 

Gaze at the stars from the comfort of your bed inside a clear geodesic dome, located about 30 miles from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Each family-sized dome at this bubble resort is decked out with themed décor, including British secret agent, ‘80s video games, and pretty in pink (a Hello Kitty wonderland!). Kids and adults alike will also love the activities available on site, including frisbee golf, yard games, an oversized trampoline, and nightly s’mores around a fire pit.  clearskyresorts.com

Fantasyland Hotel 

Edmonton, Canada 

Fantasyland Hotel is tucked inside the West Edmonton Mall, which is like a city unto itself, with more than 800 shops, 100 restaurants, an indoor amusement park, paddle boats, a water park, even its own Chinatown. The hotel is equally transportive. Its rooms will whisk you away to an igloo, a Victorian-era coach, or Hollywood. One of the most popular options is the space-themed luxury suite, which includes constellations on the ceiling, thousands of LED lights, and space pod bunk beds. flh.ca

Hotel Rangá

Hella, Iceland

Hotel Rangá is nestled in the rugged and beautiful Iceland countryside, a prime location for chasing waterfalls, exploring ice caves, and watching the Northern Lights. But you may not even want to leave the lodge — among its 52 cozy rooms are seven luxurious continent-themed suites, each containing art and furniture sourced from the places they represent. There’s even a speciality package that lets guests “travel” all around the world over the course of a one-week stay. hotelranga.is

Hotel LEGOLAND

Billund, Denmark 

LEGO is known for inspiring creative and fun play, so what better way to inject some of that in your vacation than a LEGO room with interactive features? You can choose  a Ninjago room where you can sneak around like ninja warriors, a LEGO MOVIE room where you can fight the DUPLO invasion, and a LEGO Friends treetop hideaway.  legoland.dk

Madonna Inn

San Luis Obispo, California 

The Madonna is a whimsical jewel along the central California coast, famous for its 110 individually themed rooms. Each is a maximalist wonderland, filled with glam décor and plenty of character. Some of the most spectacular suites include real boulders (above), as incorporated in the rock waterfall showers in Bridal Falls, Madonna Suite, and Caveman. madonnainn.com

The Roxbury at Stratton Falls/The Roxbury Motel

Roxbury, N.Y.

These two eclectic properties were designed to indulge the getaway fantasies of children and the young at heart. Each of the eight cottages at The Roxbury at Stratton Falls is a fairytale come to life — for instance, Cinderella’s Gown is a cottage conjured by a fairy godmother, complete with a pumpkin bathroom, while Crown of the Pendragons is fit for royalty. The Roxbury Motel features rooms that seem to have pulled straight from your oddest dreams. Who hasn’t wanted to sleep inside a coconut cream pie? Or, more accurately, who has? theroxburyexperience.com

V8 Hotel 

Stuttgart, Germany

This property is a dream for car enthusiasts, from kids who love things that go “vroom” to serious auto aficionados. Its themed rooms include British Racing, a retro gas station, and the popular car wash room, with a bed situated between pillar brushes and pipes. The hotel is within a one-minute walk of Motorworld Stuttgart; other local highlights include the Mercedes Benz Factory, the Porsche Museum, and Solitude Race Track. v8hotel.de

The eight must-see themed hotels in the U.S

If you’re traveling in the United States and looking for a hotel that’s a whole new experience in itself, read on for some top-quality themed hotels that will stand out from the average hotel room.

Want to kick your hotel stay up a notch? Don’t settle for a bland, basic hotel when you could be staying at one of these imaginatively themed hotels in the U.S.

The themed hotels on this list are the ones you’ll actually want to stay at, who get creative with their themes, and don’t just throw a lightsaber on the wall and call it Star Wars. Without further ado, here are some amazing themed hotel rooms you’ll want to book for your next trip to the U.S.

Winvian Farm Cottages in Litchfield Hills, Connecticut

This is the mother of all themed hotels. Winvian Farm has 18 little luxury cottages, each with their own theme. They’re the creations of 15 architects with different points of view, and they’re all gorgeous.

If you’re looking for a woodsy vibe, stay in the Log Cabin, Beaver Lodge, Camping (the cottage theme, not an actual campground), or Tree House cottages, and if you’re into a particular design aesthetic, go for one with an Industry, Maritime, or Connecticut Yankee theme. There’s even a cottage with a “secret society” theme, where the ceiling of the bedroom is a glass pyramid.

The most unique cottage of them all is by far the Helicopter cottage, where the living quarters resemble an airline hanger, and the dining and lounge area is inside an actual restored Coast Guard helicopter.

Castle Hotel & Spa in Tarrytown, New York

Picture a massive stone castle on a hill, overlooking a valley with a river running through it. You’re probably picturing the European mountainside, not a village in New York state. Turns out you don’t need to cross an ocean to feel like modern royalty at the Castle Hotel & Spa .

The castle was constructed in the early 1900s for business mogul General Howard Carroll who lived there and wasn’t turned into a luxury inn until more than 90 years later.

The architecture is Norman-inspire, a style of Roman architecture typically seen in Britain, but the interiors are modern and comfortable. The workspaces and 24-hour health and fitness center make it ideal for working remotely, while the whirlpool, outdoor swimming pool, and ten acres of woodland are perfect for those trying to get away from it all.

Beckham Creek Cave in Parthenon, Arkansas

If you’ve ever wanted to have your own secret underground sanctum, book a stay at Beckham Creek Cave . This luxurious lodge is in a cave in the Ozarks, and an exclusive one at that, as the private resort has just four bedrooms and a master suite.

The natural formations of the cave serve both a structural and aesthetic purpose, as the exposed rock is everything from the ceiling, the wall, or just an accent depending on which room you are in. The cave is just the beginning, as the massive plot of land, which is more than 250 acres/1 square kilometer, has many more caves to go spelunking in, trails to stroll, and bluffs to do some rock climbing.

The Santa Suite at The Inn at Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

This themed hotel is in the same state, but with a very different concept. This Christmas-themed hotel is for the traveler who wishes every night was Christmas Eve. You can find the hotel at Pigeon Forge, which happens to also be the home of Dollywood, the Dolly-Parton-themed amusement park. This town certainly loves a theme. While the Bavarian-inspired inn has Christmas decorations everywhere, The Santa Suite is the most Christmassy room of them all, with decorations adorning the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and even the bathroom

A year-round holiday season looks pretty good here. In the summer you can go swimming in the pool (outdoor or indoor), and in the winter you can join in on a sing-along with Santa or just stroll the grounds, which looks breathtaking under a layer of snow.

Pullman Train Cars at Chattanooga Choo-Choo Hotel in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Are you nostalgic for the olden days of luxury train travel? The Chattanooga Choo-Choo offers you the chance to stay inside an old train car from the ‘30s, ‘40s, or ‘50s.

The rooms have period-appropriate decor, but also all the amenities you expect from a hotel. The premises has an indoor pool and offers dry cleaning and laundry services so you’ll always put your best foot forward.

It’s conveniently located right in city’s downtown core, but there are plenty of entertainment options within the complex so you don’t have to leave the property if you don’t want to. Chattanooga Choo-Choo even has a comedy club and a train-themed escape room on the premises.

The Real World Suite at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada

This is the suite where the cast of MTV’s “The Real World Las Vegas” lived, but you don’t have to be a superfan to enjoy staying here. The 3,000 square foot (just under 280 square meters) room is full of bright pops of color and geometric patterns.

It is an ideal place for tight-knit groups traveling together as it has five beds total that are divided amongst three rooms, a large communal bathroom, and a pool table.

An honorable mention goes to the Hardwood Suite, a basketball-themed suite also available at the Palms, but as of the posting of this article, is not yet open for reservations. The Palms is definitely at the top of the list when it comes to themed hotels in Las Vegas, and they’re making sure they stay there.

21c Museum Hotels in Louisville, Cincinnati, Bentonville, Durham, Lexington, Oklahoma City, Nashville, and Kansas City.

If you’ve ever been to a museum or gallery at closing time and wished you could stay longer, how about sleeping over? All the 21c buildings function as both contemporary art galleries and hotels.

Each hotel room is decorated with beautiful works of art, and since each location decorates their rooms differently and hosts temporary exhibitions, you could stay at every 21c Hotel in the country and see some new and exciting art every time. Two more 21c Hotels were in development at the time of this article, so Chicago and Des Moines will soon be added to the list of artsy accommodations.

Like most art galleries, every location also regularly hosts cultural events like workshops and talks by featured artists.

Disneyland’s Signature Suites at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California

You’re probably thinking that these rooms are just for kids, but Disneyland’s Signature Suites are actually much more mature than you’d expect, perfect for adults traveling with or without family. They’re upscale luxury rooms, designed to make you feel like you’re in one of Disney’s imaginative worlds.

If anyone knows how to make an immersive themed experience, it’s Disney. When it comes to themed hotels in California, no one does it better, and if you’re already going to Disneyland to have a fantastical experience, don’t let it end at the front door.

The Signature Suite themes include Pirates of the Caribbean, Fairy Tale, Adventureland, Mickey Mouse, and Big Thunder. What’s nice about these rooms is that every single element of the decor is carefully selected to suit the theme without making it look too gimmicky — with the exception of the Mickey Mouse room, but in that case the gimmicky quality is part of the draw.

Found the perfect themed hotel? Why not book a high-quality Blacklane chauffeur service to get you there in style.

Whether it’s standard rooms or themed suites, they each feature a king-size bed and flat-screen TV, alongside WiFi for the kids who  have  to play one more game on their tablet.

Out of all the hotels in the world, doesn’t Disneyland sound the most magical?

The Roxbury, New York , is located in the mountains, surrounded by breathtaking views. Each hotel room has a fun theme, transporting you into a completely different world. You could end up in Emerald City with the yellow brick road painted on your bedroom walls.

The Roxbury New York is perfect for kids with its fantastically decorated suites, complete with a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, access to Netflix and board games.

The rooms are exquisite, with the option to have an ocean view room and private balconies. The stunning suites will make you feel like you’re living on a beach with its fresh, clean ambiance.

Even the other guest rooms are steps away from the beach. Children can enjoy building sandcastles and swimming in the ocean before coming back to experience its abundance of land activities, such as bike riding, golf, and a wild horses tour.

Hopefully, this guide has given you some ideas. A little tip would be not to show your children this list until you’ve narrowed it down to your preference. Otherwise, you may be tugged around the US, visiting all twenty of these hotels. Good luck on your wacky, quirky, unique trip, wherever you may choose!

Staff, room, breakfast, room service was super good, everything seems to be neat, i really enjoy my stay there

Did not have breakfast. Bellhop helped me with luggage

Breakfast was great, good variety. Overall a very good experience!

Staff were thorough. Breakfast was included but I did not have breakfast at hotel. Rooms are clean. Could hear the neighbouring room at times, walls are thin. Central to most spots in Santa Clara I think.

Fairly new, comfortable beds, great gym, very clean, great staff

Great new hotel, modern and clean. The room is very comfortable. The location is quiet and convenient.

We ended up here, unexpectedly, for three days when my son had a medical issue while we were traveling. The staff was super nice and helpful. The facility was brand new and spotless. The fitness room was top notch and open 24/7. The breakfast was a full, hot breakfast that changed daily. We always felt safe when going back and forth to our car. Parking was convenient. There were also plenty of nice places, inside and out, for me to work remotely. The only strange moment was when we had to book our room online each night rather than through the front desk person, but it wasn't a big deal and just took a few minutes. All in all, fantastic stay in a great hotel with a nice, attentive staff! Thank you!

Iced Water during hot days, hot oatmeal with scrambled eggs, fruits (bananas and apples)…

The hotel is super clean from the moment you enter the parking lot. The room was clean. Bedsheets had no stains and towels smelled nice. Even the curtains did not smell dusty. The Carpets from the lobby, hallways and room did not have any odor.

this Inn is new and clean, the space enough for 2 person, near to many restaurants and convenience store. the staff is nice.

These Movie-themed Hotels Will Bring Your Favorite Fantasy to Life

These hotels will transport you to another world.

Hotels play a starring role in many movies. There's the creepy empty mountain lodge in "The Shining;" the rich and slightly corporate Park Hyatt Tokyo in "Lost in Translation;" the luxurious Beverly Wilshire Hotel with its wood panels, chandeliers, and Whirlpool tub in "Pretty Woman;" the imaginary pink castle filled with purple-uniformed staff in "The Grand Budapest Hotel."

Hotels can bring a big variety of settings and moods, from spooky to extravagant to quirky. They also have a unique opportunity to create a scene by designing decor to transport guests to a different place.

For a few hotels, that different place they transport guests to is a movie set. They're either capitalizing on their connection to movies filmed on their premises, or they're creating theme rooms to help guests feel like they are characters in their favorite films. Many hotels are offering special packages to replicate as much of the movie experience as they can, or are redoing all of their decor to match specific films.

Here are some of our favorites.

'The Wizard of Oz': Roxbury Motel in Catskills, New York

The quirky Roxbury Motel in upstate New York has a variety of movie and TV-themed rooms. For "The Wizard of Oz" fans, there is a room with a long yellow-brick road, all emerald decor, and curled-up witch feet on the bed.

The hotel's restaurant, Double Take, features cocktails inspired by cult-classic movies filmed in Los Angeles .

If you or your kids are fans of "SpongeBob SquarePants," you may want to check out The Pineapple Villa at Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, which is made to look like the Bikini Bottom home under the sea.

Graduate Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee, USA

Taking its lead from the iconic sounds and stars of Music City, the Graduate Nashville is a love letter to vintage Americana.

Make sure you spend an evening in the on-site Cross-Eyed Critters karaoke bar, where you're invited to belt out your favorite ballads – with accompaniment from an animatronic backup band.

25hours Hotel Florence Piazza San Paolino, Florence, Italy

Inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy , the Florence outpost of 25hours brings together spaces that play on the themes of Paradiso and Inferno.
