Floating hotel proposes best views of Aurora Borealis
The proposed and soon to be built, Krystall Hotel is perhaps the best place to view the Aurora Borealis on earth. The floating luxury accommodation is shaped like a snowflake and built within the Arctic Circle. It will be based in the fjords of picturesque Tromso in Norway. Beautiful in its own right, but imagine, the northern lights above.
The project is being developed by Dutch Docklands, which specializes in floating structures, and they intend for its design to blend in naturally with the winter environment. It will be constructed on a concrete base that’s then tethered to the fjords, but will still have the freedom to move between six and 10 feet on either side of its center.
Krystall Hotel will be the first floating hotel in Europe, offering 86 rooms will a glass roof for viewing of the Northern Lights. It is projected to open in 2017, so book now and be among the first to see the lights in style.
