Chile: viewing the expansive cosmos in a small hotel with even smaller rooms (2/5)

  • Tuesday, December 18, 2012

  • Like all the other properties I’ve featured this week, the Elqui Domos Hotel has its grace.  While the other properties boast their wonderful terrestrial views, the Elqui is different.  It boasts the best celestial views … and they’re not joking.






    The petit and ultra-contemporary hotel consists of 2 different types of rooms.  The first are the original stand-alone domes covered in a PVC tarp that houses 4 people … think of it as glamping (but only one bed gets the giant retractable skylight at its foot).  The second are a handful of small apartment-like structures with well-positioned windows for optimal stargazing.




    Boring you say? Maybe. But before you judge, I invite you to try it J I’d venture to say most of us have never seen the sky like this.
