10. Hang Nga Guesthouse, Da Lat, Vietnam

Lovers of the well-known children’s book, The Faraway Tree, will be in their element in the Hang Nga Guesthouse in Vietnam. The building, also known as the ‘Crazy House‘ is designed to resemble a tree and guests will be delighted with the animal themed rooms.

 7. Magic Mountain Hotel, Huilo Huilo Reserve, Chile

Staying at The Magic Mountain will certainly make you one with nature. Set in the midst of the Chilian Patagonian Rainforest, this cone shaped hotel reminds us of the hobbit house; blended into nature with little rounded windows peeping out amoungst vines and moss. The hotel has a waterfall which cascades from the roof and a rope bridge is the only way in and out.

6. Icehotel, Jukkasjärvi, Sweden

The Ice Hotel is made entirely of ice and snow, including rooms, chairs & beds, bar and wedding chapel. It is rebuilt each year and artists are invited to redesign the various rooms meaning that no room will ever be the same. The hotel remains at −5 °C to ensure that the structure doesn’t melt.

5. Bivacco Gervasutti, Mont Blanc, Italy

The Bivacco Gervasutti is perched on the edge of a cliff, 2,835 metres above sea level, on the Frebouze Glaciar in the Mont Blanc (meaning White Mountain) massif in Italy. If you are able to climb to the capsule from Val Ferret by foot, you are welcome to stay at Bivacco Gervasutti. The capsule sleeps 12 people and has solar-powered energy and internet access.

4. Attrap Reves Bubble Hotel, Allauch, France

Spend the night in one of 6 bubble-shaped capsules surrounded by pine trees. These private units are set in a peaceful spot away from the crowds and are perfect for stargazing on still nights. The capsules can be found just 7km from the gardens of the Palais Longchamp.

3. Kakslauttanen Hotel, Saariselkä, Finland

At Kakslauttanen Hotel, guests can admire the northern lights and twinkling sky in a glass igloo.

1. The Treehotel, Harads, Sweden

The Treehotel in Harads, Sweden, is home to 6 tree rooms which are suspended 4-6 metres above the ground in a pine forest. Each tree house has its’ own theme; The UFO, The Birds Nest, The Dragonfly, The Cabin, The Blue Cone (which, oddly enough, is bright red) and The Mirrorcube.

The Mirrorcube is the perfect hideout as it is camouflaged by mirror walls which reflect the trees and surroundings. It is a 4x4x4 metre box which has been suspended around a tree to provide spectacular panoramic views. The room sleeps 2 people and has a bathroom, lounge and a rooftop terrace. Showers and saunas are also located in the vicinity. What more could one ask for?
