This has to got to be one of the weirdest hotels we've ever come across. The Propeller Island City Lodge in Berlin has 30 rooms which have been decorated by artist Lars Stroschen. Each one is completely unique- in the Gruft coffin room, pictured, guests can sleep in the coffins with the lids closed. In case they get creeped out, they can sneak downstairs to a real pad. There's also a green room decorated as a padded cell, and “Grandma's” room which has walls covered in newspaper and a toilet hidden in the cupboard. Or if you want to act out your Siegfried and Roy fantasy, there's the Two Lions room, which features dual cages in the centre of a spacious menagerie. Winter weekday rates start at 69 euros.

Berlin is famous for its nightlife, and the next time you're in town try the new Bangaluu club, which looks a lot like BED in Miami. Here's the concept. Bangaluu is a combination dinner club and bar, where guests can lounge on white couches and munch on corn fed chicken in a paper parcel or a Mediterranean platter. There's also a VIP restaurant section, where tables are separated by sheer white curtains and everything is softly lit by chandeliers. And don't forget your leather trousers.

Villa Kennedy? No, this isn't a new property in Chappaquiddick or Palm Beach. Villa Kennedy is the latest hotel from Rocco Forte, and is slated to open on March 1, 2006, in Frankfurt. Villa Kennedy is located on Kennedyallee, just off the south bank of the River Main, and is built around the existing Villa Speyer (originally constructed in 1904), and is nestled amongst extensive gardens. The décor combines tradition and innovation, with the 163 bedrooms designed by London based Martin Brudnizki and his team in a minimalist deluxe style.  And no Uncle Teddy in sight, we promise.
