Travel: A Fairy Tale Hotel

Flavorwire treats us to some fantastic hotels inspired by literature, from an Ice Palace, to a romantic couples themed hotel, to one organized by the Dewey Decimal System! The one we are chiefly interested in, however, is the Maison Moschino in Milan, Italy, a fairy tale themed hotel! While Flavorwire showcases the Alice in Wonderland room, I loved the Little Red Riding Hood Room with it's strange wolf in comforter clothing!

While the other rooms don't strictly reference any one fairy tale, their design evokes strong images that crop up on many:

Life is a Bed of Roses: 

Luxurious Attic (with magical secrets hiding in boxes):

The Forest:

Sleeping in a Ballgown:

Sweet Room (very Hansel and Gretel):

Blue:

Half a Room (a bit Alice in Wonderlandy too!):

Places: La Balade des Gnomes, a Fairy Tale Bed and Breakfast

A few weeks ago, Io9 posted an article about a fantasy-themed bed and breakfast in Belguim called La Balade des Gnomes (The Walk of the Gnomes). Each room looks straight out of a fairy tale:

If you'd like to sleep inside a fairy tale (and not the parts where you're being eaten by wolves or danced to death by enchanted shoes), you might want to pay a visit to La Balade des Gnomes, a quiet bed and breakfast where you can live out your fairy tale dreams, including one inside the belly of a wooden bull.

La Balade des Gnomes sits outside Derby, Belgium, and includes ten rooms, each with its own fantastical theme: a cabin in the forest, a neighborhood on the moon, stars in the desert, the legend of the trolls, and, of course, the Trojan Horse, which is actually a bull. Presumably, you can't liberate the Trojan bull room to invade enemy nations. (Full Article)
