“Let me tell you about my dream hotel. First, to get there you drive and park your car. Then, you walk to the subway and ride it to the drop-off. Then your there! Once you go in, you check-in at the check-in desk and they will show you your room. There are five regular rooms and four sweats. The hotel is in the shape of a pawprint because it is a cat hotel. I waited till now to tell you because the sweats are in the toes. Sticking out of the hotel are cat beds, where the cats can lay. Also, there is a vet, and a room where you can visit cats. No-one is at the hotel yet because it opens in the November of 2027. Lastly, it takes place in the UK.”

“My Dream Hotel is called the Night Transportation Hotel. It has ten bedrooms. It also has three hot tubs, a slide, a burger café, a hoot shakes place that serves milkshakes for owls, a slip’n slide, a huge pool, and a skyball court. Skyball is basketball with higher hoops and you can fly instead of run. The area is the night sky. It is invisible to people, but not to owls. The hotel is especially made so it has zero gravity, even when it’s not in space. It has an app that all owls have and the hotel knows your location. They just have to press a button and it takes five minutes at the most to get to you.”

“My Magical Treehouse is a relaxing hotel with 9 forest themed rooms. You get into the treehouse by a gondola and arrive in the lobby. You can take the glass elevator on the right to your room or take the shared stairs in the kitchen and indoor dining area up onto the top of the tree. Up on the top is a pool with a fountain in it. If you choose to go to the café, you follow the green path to La Abre Café. The café is gluten-free and pescatarian and it has pouffes that you can sit on. Some stairs lead to a big hammock that has balls in it that you can play with or just stargaze at night. The eco-friendly treehouse is made out of cob and steel rods for the main structure, and the canopy up above is actually moss growing on a thick net. In the inside, almost everything is bamboo and repurposed wood. At the bottom guests may buy train tickets for the steam engine ride through the roots of the tree. I designed this treehouse because I wanted to make family-friendly environment, have fun things to do, and be accessible for everyone.”

“This is the hotel “RIBBIT” and it is a hotel of frogs and art. You can visit the museum and look at the history of the hotel and see some art, or you can go to the rainbow gift shop and buy some pins. Which brings us to the pin trading stand where you can trade the pins you bought for better ones. And you can relax in the pool or lounge. Don’t forget to get a room and say hi to the employees. Then once you wake up you can have a nice meal at the restaurant “FLY” and have some fly salad. I hope you enjoy your stay at “RIBBIT”.”
