Nowadays, in the world of architecture the dominant theme is big and spacious buildings and hotels, but we are not going to talk about that in this article; instead we are going to discuss the smallest and tiniest hotels in the world. These hotels are amazing and have a sense of intimacy that will conquer your heart. Imagine going into a hotel where you are the only guest - something you don’t experience everyday. Now you will be able to feel free and have the time only to yourself.

Check out the list of the smallest hotels and pick your favourite.

This hotel is a typical Swedish red house located in the middle of a private miniature island on Lake Malaren. It was an art project by Mikael Genberg which offers an underwater accommodation for the public. Guests arrive on the port and then are taken with boat to the hotel.
