You can book to stay in the hotel shaped like a colon

If you're looking for more unusual places to stay then there's plenty knocking around where you can visit. Some of them can be a little bit disturbing at times, while others can be outright breathtaking.

However, stopping in a room that is shaped like a bum hole might have been towards the bottom of things you would think of. And no, visitors are not made the butt of the joke in the unusual holiday spot.

It is very much a real hotel room where people have spent the night, reports the Daily Star. You can have your holiday surrounded by the walls of the human colon.

Named CasAnus, the building is shaped like the human digestive system with the colon portion of the structure made into a bedroom. It boasts a double bed, a table, shower and toilet, along with other features such as lighting, running water, and electric heating.

If you were wondering why anyone would create a colon-shaped hotel, it is also doubles up as a piece of artwork. Located in the Verbeke Foundation Art Park near Antwerp, Belgium, in a secluded field, the polyester structure is artwork by Dutch designer Joep van Lieshout.

The detailed replica of the digestive system is sure to be a unique stay for anyone interested to enquire about a stay. Within the walls of the artistic space the resemblance to the colon fades a little as the interior is clean and white.

Large windows offering up views of the surrounding field and countryside – so it's a bit like an unusual glamping experience. Prices start from €120 (approximately £106 per night) based on two people sharing the bedroom – you can enquire about open slots at unusualhotelsoftheworld.com.

The rate also includes a tasty breakfast and access to the Verbeke Foundation museum where you can check out more unusual art pieces and sculptures. Adult entry to the park is usually €13 (£11.54).

You can also request additional information by emailing info@verbekefoundation.com or visit the website verbekefoundation.com. CasAnus isn't the only piece of art in the museum where tourists have been able to spend the night.

Blob VB3 – a glamorous camping pod – and CampingFlat – where tents sit on top of a tall scaffolding structure –were both installed at the sculpture park in recent years too.
