World's First Sandcastle Hotels Open In Netherlands | CNN.com
Life's a beach, then you stay in one. That's the idea at two new pop-up hotels constructed from sand in the Netherlands. The fully furnished one-room suites have been built as part of the annual sand sculpture festivals in Sneek, Friesland and Oss, Brabant. They're hidden inside eight-meter-high sculptures, one modeled on the Flintstones' cartoon home town of Bedrock, the other decorated with dragons, the Great Wall of China and the Terracotta Army.
