18. Hotel Arbez, France/ Switzerland
One of the world's only hotels built on the border between two countries, the Hotel Arbez is located in the small town of La Cure along the French-Swiss border. The cozy hotel was built in 19th century alpine style with wooden beams and a country kitchen to serve its guests.
The hotel dates back to the 19th century when Monsieur Ponthus look advantage of a border treaty between France and Switzerland to build a structure along the border with the intention of doing business. The structure was erected in no time, and by the time the Swiss had ratified the treaty, Monsieur Ponthus's structure was already up and running, with a bar on the French side and a shop on the Swiss side.
Now you know that there is much more to a hotel than a place to rest your head!
