"Premier Traveler" have revealed their picks for 10 places that offer memorable experiences — wild, wacky and wonderful stays around the globe providing significant adventures.

 

The Karosta Prison is truly one of the most unique hotels in the world. It is actually a prison that was used in the past and now converted to a hotel. It is situated in Liepaja, a port city in the very west of Latvia. 

 

The Karosta Prison also offers museum tours, special activities, accommodation packages and more. For most adventurous tourists, there is an opportunity to spend the night in Karosta as a prisoner. The offer includes sleeping in a room with iron bars or closed prison camera. The room is designed as an actual replica of a realistic prison room. Furthermore, the meals are also like those thrown at the prisoners who long ago suffered within those very walls. The guards complete the scenery by  barking orders and punishing guests with exercise if someone dares to disobey. 

 

However, the attractions are implemented once the guest has signed an agreement regarding conditions about the stay at the hotel.
