This is the Maison Moschino located in Milan, Italy. It has themed rooms such as Alice's Room, The Forest, Sweet Room and Little Red Riding Hood. I've stayed at a theme motel before, but I imagine The Fort Motel in Shartlesville, PA was much more reasonably priced; featuring a Jungle Room, Circus Room and Dog Room. (I stayed in the Dog Room! No pictures available!)
A theme hotel I would like to visit someday is The Madonna Inn, a famous tacky hotel with many many themes in San Luis Obispo, California. Here is the Room Features Grid showing you what exactly is available (the pic above is the Sugar & Spice room). It reminds me of The Gobbler in Wisconsin, a hotel shaped to resemble a turkey for some reason, that no longer exists but can be viewed postmortem at the link. I recall staying in a Caboose Motel when I was in PA as a kid in the 70's, and the only clear memory I have is of the TV in the potbelly stove turning on when the light switch was on and there was no way to turn it off independently.
On a trip in 2006 I went to South of the Border in Dillon, South Carolina. I did not stay in the motel there, and I was curious about the Honeymoon Suite with the Sombrero Bed. It no longer exists, as they are updating and renovating. I hope they don't ruin too much of SOB because it's SUPER! If you love this kind of stuff it's worth a trip.
