As I planned my trip, I stumbled upon the Anniversary Inn, a group of adult-only themed hotels with four locations in the US, including two in Salt Lake City.

Known as the Anniversary Inn at Fifth South, the Central City location where I stayed has 36 individually themed rooms that sleep two people each. Depending on the style, they range in price from $200 to $320 for one night.

Then I came across the Swiss Family Robinson suite. The room’s immersive jungle theme came with a waterfall shower and a treehouse-style bed that seemed straight out of my childhood dreams. I booked the mid-level room for a weeknight rate of $250. (The weeknight rate has since increased to $260.)

Insider paid for the room, per our reporting standards.

In May, I arrived at the Anniversary Inn. For a themed hotel filled with colorful interiors and intricate designs, I was surprised by the simple exterior.

But the moment I stepped inside, there was decor galore. Although the lobby lacked a theme, a framed mural filled one wall, a fake street light was stationed in a corner, and hanging from the second story were flower boxes brimming with fake flowers.
