If an ordinary hotel on dry land seems a little dull then Jules Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Florida U.S.A is the place for you.

Jules is the original undersea hotel. But don't be fooled into thinking this is just a gimmick. If you want to get into this hotel then you're going to have to scuba dive 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea.

If you can manage that, you will enter through an opening in the bottom of the hotel. However, the difficulty in getting in is more than worth it.

The cottage-sized hotel consists of a kitchen with microwave and refrigerator, a dining room, with entertainment facilities, a "moon pool" (a small swimming pool), shower, bathroom facilities and two bedrooms with windows from which you can watch fish swim by.

And for a wedding with a difference, the lodge offers couple the chance to tie the knot underwater, without the bride getting her dress wet!

A notary public, who dives down for the nuptial service, conducts the ceremony. A toast and the cutting of the cake follow the ceremony. Dinner consists of a caviar appetizer, a choice of lobster or steak, a hearts of palm salad and dessert. The hotel "mer-chef" scuba dives to the hotel to prepare the meal and serve the newlyweds. The chef also prepares breakfast the following morning.

So if you're not afraid of a bit of hard work and you find just getting the elevator to your hotel room too easy, why not try a hotel with a difference, 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea.
