When it comes to providing the experience of a home away from home, very little can go a very long way.
LONDON From its improbable timber perch above the River Thames, A Room for London, Living Architecture's bookable, one-bedroom "boat," offers unparalleled city views. It's equipped with a small kitchenette containing David Mellor dishware, a library filled with travel-centric titles (including a few versions of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness," the project's inspiration) and a logbook that reads like a who's who of international culture. The musician Imogen Heap wrote and performed a song onboard, and the Scottish poet Ryan Van Winkle will host one-on-one readings there in July. From $500 per night.
SHANGHAI Tucked away in a former police headquarters in the bustling Jing'an district, D.R.Home is a minimalist's dream: an airy 2,153-square-foot suite outfitted with antique candelabras, a Philipp Mainzer bed and an iconic BD Barcelona table. The colonial red-brick building, extended with glass and steel, also houses shops and a buzzy tapas bar designed by the Chinese architecture duo Neri & Hu. The room is typically reserved for events, but can be booked for private occasions. Upon waking up, a resident chef will come and cook breakfast. From $8,195 per night.
COPENHAGEN Between its two floors in the hip Vesterbro district, each measuring a mere 130 square feet, the Central Hotel & Cafe encapsulates the uniquely Danish concept of hygge (loose translation: coziness). The hotel's only room was originally built in 1920 as a shoemaker's garret — his workshop has since been reborn as a five-seat bistro at ground level — and while it opened last summer equipped with a flat-screen TV, a minibar and an iPhone, its charm lies in the old-meets-new details. Its co-owner, the former film set designer Leif Thingtved, handcrafted the furnishings from salvaged oak, adding vintage English wallpaper along with locally made Geismars linens. From $330 per night.
PRAGUE A Communist-era TV tower isn't the likeliest site for an exclusive lodging, but that's precisely what the One Room Hotel, by Tower Park Praha, has become: a spacious, concrete-and-steel cabin fitted out with Vitra furniture and a Philippe Starck tub that hovers 230 feet above the City of a Thousand Spires. Floor-to-ceiling windows? Twenty-four-hour butler service? A bottle of Moët upon arrival? Check, check and cheers. When the complimentary minibar doesn't cut it, there's room service from Oblaca restaurant, serving upscale Czech food one level down. For those enticed by the bird's-eye vista, a chauffeur-driven Mercedes-Benz CLS comes with the package. From $900 per night.
