The guide to unusual hotels and accommodations for a unique night or weekend experience.

Stay in a boat

Unusual stay on the water

Whether it is along a port, at the end of a fjord, moored right in the city center, or perched on a rooftop (A Room for London), these boats have in common that they offer you the chance to stay for an unusual night. Why absolutely seek solid ground when these boats offer exceptional locations? Rocked by the waves, your stay will only be sweeter. The sound of halyards clapping against the masts or the creaking of wooden decks will not prevent you from staying but will add an extra dimension to your experience.

Since 2014, we have started to see a strange flat-bottomed boat bloom, exuding a certain very attractive nonchalance. A former river transport boat converted into an unusual guest room, we have dedicated a new section to it that you will discover right here, the toue cabanée.
