While researching an exotic getaway is an exciting first step for any traveler, picking out sleeping accommodations can feel like a chore in comparison. Uniform, traditionally colored buildings with unassuming rooms seem to detract from the beautiful natural landscapes and vibrant cities they inhabit.

Fortunately, many architects have seen this lack and upgraded the hotel landscape accordingly, creating livable works of art for travelers around the world. Whether hidden deep in the forests of Sweden or piercing the mountain skyline in the Czech Republic, these 10 hotels are a look into the unique ways hotels have been adapted to fit their landscape and history.
