Brilio.net/en - Generally, a hotel will offer luxury facilities for guests. In a bizarre case of reverse psychology, this hotel provides the chance for the guests to feel the sensation of living in an atmosphere akin to a slum.
As quoted from Atlas Obscura (24/11), Emoya Estates built the Shanty Town, a resort which resembles the concept of a slum. As the name implies, the resort in Shanty Town looks like makeshift housing commonly found in poor areas.

Even though the resort looks somewhat dirty and disorganized from the outside, the inside of the resorts is quite comfortable. Every room in the resort is equipped with clean beds, stoves, floor heating, a bathroom, and wireless internet access.

The Shanty Town is arguably the only hotel in the world which offers this unique accommodation experience for guests. Emoya Estates itself is a parent company of many luxurious hotels and resorts, which is famous for its classy hotel amenities and service.
However, the Shanty Town is offered towealthy guests who want to feel the different sensation of living those that are not as privileged.
