About
What this index is, and what it deliberately is not.
The idea
greencorefan is a small independent index of hotels organised by kind rather than by place. There are four categories — art hotels, capsule hotels, casino hotels and ice hotels — and four hotels in each. The point of grouping them this way is comparison: put four capsule hotels next to each other and the shared design problem becomes obvious in a way it never is when they are scattered across city guides.
The properties are real, currently operating hotels. They were chosen because they say something clear about their category, not because they are the largest, the most expensive or the most photographed.
What we do not do
We do not take bookings, hold inventory, or send you to a booking engine. We do not publish star ratings or scored reviews, and we do not host user reviews. There is no ranking within a category; the order of entries carries no judgement.
We are not paid by any hotel to appear here, and hotels cannot buy an entry. If that ever changes, it will be stated on this page before anything else changes.
Accuracy
Hotels change. Rooms get refurbished, restaurants close, seasonal properties shift their opening dates, and ownership moves. Descriptions here are written to stay true at the level of character rather than at the level of the current price list, but they still go out of date.
Corrections are welcome and are the most useful thing a reader can send us. So are suggestions of hotels that belong in one of the four categories.
