Legoland Resort Hotel, Windsor, UK

One to keep the kids happy, the Legoland Resort Hotel opens its doors in March, with rooms decorated in either pirate, adventure or royal themes. From the entrance, guarded by dragons, to the interactive Lego features in the pool area and the rooms, this is a child's dream of a hotel. Play areas and daily entertainment shows all add to the fun - although parents may need a weekend away afterwards to recover.

The rooms are created by German artist Lars Stroschen with the aim of altering guests' perceptions, something this "upside-down" room certainly achieves.
