Eighteen hotels, described as they are
This is a reference to eighteen working hotels, sorted into four sections. Each entry says what the building is, where it stands and what its shared rooms hold. Everything is written from published sources: hotel material, maps and press. There are no prices here, no stars, no reviews and no reservations, and nothing on the site ranks one house above another.
- Capsule Hotels Four addresses where sleeping berths or repeated small rooms carry the whole plan of the building. Four entries
- Ice Hotels Four buildings of ice and packed snow, each raised for a single winter and built again the following year. Four entries
- Casino Hotels Four Canadian resorts read here strictly as hotels: theatres, restaurants, spas and public frontage. Four entries
- Art Hotels Six older houses kept in use as hotels, where the building itself is the reason for the entry. Six entries

How this is kept
Hotels enter this reference because their building or their plan can be described without guesswork. Every statement is taken from material the hotel or another open source has published, and anything that cannot be confirmed is either left out or written so that it stays true without the missing detail.
Nothing here is a recommendation. The site holds no prices, no star grades, no room counts and no opinions about which house is preferable. Where a description has gone out of date, the entry is corrected rather than defended.
