Astronomical Hotel

We all know the feeling... rough week, frustrating grind of a job, constant grumblings about the tumbling economy... That's when we start fantasizing about escaping to more exciting locations.

Here's a truly unique one to day-dream about for a little while: Elquidomos, a hotel made specially for star-gazing, located in Chile's Elqui Valley, which typically enjoys over 300 days of clear skies per year.

Each of the 7 rooms is set up as a 2-story geodesic dome, equipped with a telescope, astronomical literature, a terrace and a detachable roof over the upstairs bedroom for bedtime star-gazing.

Check out the layout...
