Photo of an incredible bubble hotel that opened in Iceland
If you are looking for something more than just a place to stay and use the bathroom, take a look at the new hotel The 5 Million Star Hotel in Iceland. Its unique rooms are in the shape of a bubble: with transparent walls and ceiling. An incredible opportunity to spend the night in the middle of the wild nature! Just you, snow-covered fir trees, and five million stars.
The bubble hotel was specifically opened for observing the Northern Lights.
As the hotel owner Robert Robertson shared, this interesting idea was inspired by one of the tourists. At that time, Robert was planning trips around Iceland for travelers. One day, a client called him, who, while waiting for the Northern Lights, climbed a mountain and ended up freezing solid: "Robert, this is madness. I'm freezing to death here (he probably didn't dress warmly enough). Do you know of any hotel where I can just lie in a warm bed and watch the Northern Lights through a glass roof?".
And Robertson decided to open such a hotel.
The bubble hotel is warm and cozy, it is one of the best options for observing the Northern Lights in comfort. The rooms are well heated, and nearby there are a kitchen and a bathroom.
The 5 Million Star Hotel is located around an hour's drive from Reykjavik. The cost of a night under the stars ranges from 250 to 300 dollars.
