Omni Parker House

“Omni Parker House” is one of the oldest hotels in the United States built in 1855 in Boston. This place is very popular among literature lovers due to the fact that Charles Dickens stayed here from 1867 to 1868. During the five months of his stay at the hotel, the premiere of “A Christmas Carol” was performed. Visitors can also take a look at some of the items that were used during the performance, but usually the piece that attracts the most people is the mirror that Charles Dickens used during the rehearsals of his play.

Book and Bed

Book and Bed is truly unique among hotels for its creative design. It is located in the Ikebukuro district of northwestern Tokyo, in a former pub. Instead of chairs and tables, you will find wooden book shelves and beds. The accommodation price includes the ability to read any of the 1,700 titles in English or Japanese. This hotel can accommodate 30 people. It does not have a private bathroom, so although it is not considered a luxurious and exclusive resort, staying here certainly is an interesting experience for those who like to fall asleep to a good book.
