It got me thinking about what the most "out-there" hotel I've stayed at that is part of a major brand. I prefer to stay at local/boutique hotels when traveling, especially if it's a backpacking trip, but sometimes a major chain is inevitable. For me, I think it's a Holiday Inn in Puerto Montt, Chile; but that's also because I only stayed there after my flight was diverted to PMC. There's also the Hilton Yaounde, which I actually really enjoyed.

Curious to hear other peoples'!
