We’ve seen some cool treehouses here at Inhabitat,
but never as zany as this creepy hotel in Dalat, Vietnam. Unlike regular
treehouses, which sit upon the branches of trees, the Hang Nga
Guesthouse (a.k.a. “Crazy House”) actually is a tree (although some of
it is concrete and other materials).
Named for the architect who built it, Hang Viet Nga, the spooky hotel is
known for its Alice in Wonderlandish, dark fairy tale mood and wildly
organic twists and turns. Would you stay at this weird and wonderful
treehouse retreat?

Inside the Crazy House, visitors can follow guides up ladders, into
nooks and crannies and through tunnels. The house is actually more like
a gallery than a hotel with giant animals on display like a spider and a
giraffe that you can have tea inside of.

The Gaudi-esque treehouse also contains a number of theme rooms, a
monkey cage, outdoor balconies and a sculpture garden for guests to
enjoy. According to a number of travel sites, the architect herself is
also often available on the scene to chat with about her wacky
aesthetic.

While we wish that the interior of the house offered more sustainable
design features – we couldn’t find evidence of any, but please correct
us if we are wrong – we love the thought of being able to stay the night
tucked away inside this enormous, though somewhat artificial, tree
trunk. If you’re ever in Vietnam, be sure to stop by and see it for
yourself! |
