Spooky and Kooky Halloween Hotels

Halloween travel can be kooky, spooky, cozy and fun! Many popular resorts and amusement parks offer Halloween packages for couples and families. For travelers looking for fun yet inexpensive getaways to popular destinations, Travelocity offers Halloween trips under $299 including destinations in several US cities.

For travelers who prefer to take the road less traveled, there are plenty of options, including hotels built in caves, treehouses, ice, and one that offers coffins as beds.

1. Hotel in a Cave: It's true. You can actually sleep in a cave--and one that is even luxuriously furnished--at Beckham Creek Cave Haven. This hotel is literally built inside a living Ozark cave in Parthenon, Arkansas. The rooms are beautifully designed, and the area offers hiking, fishing, boating, billiards and, of course, complete privacy and quiet. Rates go up to $1,000 per night--spooky indeed for the frugal traveler. We also found hotels that are just as unique, but not quite as pricey!

2. Underwater Room: Key Largo, Florida hosts Jules Undersea Lodge, one of the few underwater hotels in the world. Jules operates as a research lab, plus comes with the comforts of air-conditioning, hot showers, stereo music, VCRs and DVD players, a fully stocked galley, and unlimited diving for certified divers. Two cons: you must scuba dive 21 feet into the sea just to get to it, and it only has 2 rooms available at $375 per person per night. Ideal for thrill seekers...deal seekers, read on!

3. Bed in a Coffin: In Berlin, Germany, travelers flock to the Propeller Island City Lodge. This hotel is world renowned due to the unique design of each room. One includes a suspended bed, the Upside Down room, and one room with coffins for beds...That's right, coffins, fully intact with doors that open and close. The artistic rooms are truly one of a kind, and the icing on the cake--the hotel's surroundings are reportedly exquisite. Rooms here start at only 69 euros, a travel deal worth boasting about.

4. Ice Hotel: Every year, the Hotel de Glace is redesigned and rebuilt in its entirety--of ice. Since opening in 2001, the Hotel de Glace has welcomed over half a million visitors. Its snow archways tower over crystal ice sculptures that lead to a charming, if cold, hotel with magical decor. In Quebec, Canada, Hotel de Glace is North America's only ice hotel. This magical place is known worldwide for its architecture and artistry, as well as warm hospitality. Rates begin at $179 CAD--not bad for a world famous hotel.

5. Treehouse "Treesort": At Treehouse Treesort in Takilma, Oregon, visitors can stay in the treehouse of their choice. Beware of the Treezebo that can be reached only by rope or hoist up to 35 feet in the air. Horseback riding, rafting, tree climbing with rappelling, and zip lines are the most popular of the resort "activitrees." A ride on the new Giant Tarzan Swing is highly recommended, as is taking a swim in the fresh river fed rock lined pool. The best part? Visitors can reserve an entire treehouse accomodation for as little as $120 a night for the whole family.

Not in the mood for spooky or strange? Well, there's always the real life Paradise Island deal featuring free margaritas, dolphin swims, and $650 in resort credits on a sunny island in the Caribbean. Prefer music, rides, and cotton candy? Disneyland also offers lots of Halloween fun, plus is currently running a deal for $400 off at the Disneyland Resort. And with a little over two weeks 'til the 31st, make sure to check out the rest of our Halloween deals.
