Cool Houses

By: Shirley Huang

Well, would you fancy living in a life-sized dollhouse? How about a home with a bunch of booby traps? What about living in a dog, or a car hotel? How about in the cockpit of an actual Boeing 747? Well, all sounds pretty cool but a little bit fake. Well, those are actually real hotels!


To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Polly Pocket, which is a company that makes dolls. Airbnb is giving people a chance to stay in a funny hotel – an actual gigantic dollhouse! The bright pink house is over 12m tall! It’s open to people in Massachusetts, US, but you will have to wait till September.


Well, the next thing on the list is the Home Alone house. Home Alone is arguably one of the best Christmas movies ever! Now we can book a night’s stay in the hotel. And the coolest is that the house is covered in booby traps like falling paint can, just like in the real movie.


The Dog Hotel is the next on the list. It is cool, and I think you will have a ter-ruff-ic time. If you love dogs, this is the hotel for you! This guest-house in Idaho, US, is a bed and breakfast inside a gigantic dog!
The second to last hotel is the Car Hotel. It would be great for my little brother – he has a bunch of cars at home! He loves cars. I kind of hope my dad takes him on the trip, so I can stay at home and do anything peacefully. Anyway, the car hotel will be great. The hotel has 10 rooms in which you sleep in a car! It’s a long flight from the US, since it’s in Stuttgart, Germany. Now who wants a plane ride?


If you just answered “I do!”, then the next hotel is right for you. Plane fans can find out what it is like to sleep in a cockpit in an actual Boeing 747, but you have to sleep on an actual plane ride before you can sleep there. The hotel is in Sweden, pretty far from the US. The hotel is built in an old jumbo jet on a disused runway at the Stockholm airport.


Which place would you like to stay?
