About this index

Plyfantsft is an editorial index of sixteen hotels, sorted into four categories that each represent a different idea of what a hotel can be. It is written for people who like reading about buildings before they sleep in them.

What is here

Four sections — art hotels, capsule hotels, casino hotels and ice hotels — with four properties in each. Every entry is prose. There are no specification tables, no key-value grids and no scores, because a number out of ten tells you very little about whether a room carved out of river ice is a good idea for you.

How entries are written

Descriptions stick to the general, durable character of a property: what the building is, where it stands, how it is organised, what it is known for. Prices change, menus change, seasons close and reopen, so those details are left to the hotels themselves. Nothing here is a review and nothing here is sourced from guest feedback.

What is not here

No booking engine, no availability, no prices, no reviews or ratings, no affiliate placement dressed up as a recommendation. The site is geographically neutral — properties were chosen because they illustrate their category well, not because of where they happen to be.

Corrections

If something described here has changed or was wrong to begin with, the contact page explains how to say so.
