An independent hotel index
Four kinds of hotel, described plainly
Batting Legend keeps a small, deliberately narrow index. Eleven hotels across four categories — art, capsule, casino and ice — each written up as a place to stay, with nothing invented and nothing sold.
The categories
Each category holds only what genuinely belongs in it. Where good candidates are scarce, the list stays short rather than padded.
-
Art Hotels
Hotels where the building, the collection, or the craftsmanship is the reason to stay, not a decorative afterthought.
3 entries
-
Capsule Hotels
Compact rooms built around a single good night and an easy morning, with space traded deliberately rather than by accident.
3 entries
-
Casino Hotels
Full hotels that happen to include a gaming floor among their facilities, judged here as places to stay.
4 entries
-
Ice Hotels
Structures rebuilt from snow and ice each winter, open for a short season and gone by spring.

Why it stays small
Indexes grow badly. Adding a hotel because it fills a gap, rather than because it is worth the page, is how a useful list turns into a directory. This one is edited the other way round: entries earn their place, the ice category holds a single property because a single property is what the category honestly supports, and nothing here is ranked, scored or bookable.
