What makes a Hotel unique?

Indeed, what is it that makes a Hotel truly unique? Is this just another buzz-word, with no actual meaning? Well, kind of. According to dictionary.cambridge.org, the word “unique” means the following: being the only existing one of its type or, more generally, unusual, or special in some way.
In correspondence to Hotels, it is, just, one factor that makes it special. A lot of Hotels offer friendly and attentive service, or feature Suites with own Jacuzzi Pools. But, have you ever stayed in authentic and historic settlements, on a Plantation, on a Ranch or in a cabin in the woods? This is definitely a great factor that makes a Hotel unique, and especially worth your visit.
