Luxury Igloo Hotel Rooms: Unique Geodesic Dome Stays

Igloo-style art hotel rooms

Imagine stepping into a hotel room that looks like it could be a setpiece from an intergalactic love nest. Bullseye for a snowy retreat — these Igloo-style art hotel rooms are as luxurious as they are unique. The house of glass and stars within a geodesic dome — focusing on the view outside — this isn’t the glass hotel in Jane Eyre. Well-padded furniture, a big bed, and a table with glasses complete a cozy nest. Inexplicably, this isn’t a new eccentric concept. But, these igloo-style hotel rooms are enjoying a fresh moment in certain circles. There's a little romantic seclusion for those who enjoy loungewear and a book in a cold setting. This minimalist secluded hotel room is as nostalgic as it is spacious (it’s that unique geodesic dome structure). Perfect for those who seek privacy or are camera-shy and want to snap a photo they can only share with closed friends and family.

Luxury cold retreat

The romance industry is built on a penchant for the strange, the unexpected. The domestic coziness and the romantic enjoy the secluded view from their own glass jars, alongside with the panoramic views of a snowy landscape. This is where glass architecture is a friend of luxury. Even more so, the combination of the two makes the location an enigma in terms of the patrons that visit — therefore creating a new niche: the snow-in-and-out pause for the travelers: escape on a budget.

Dome details

The hotel room is a dome with a clear top. It’s a geodesic dome room made out of glass which offers a panoramic view of the snowy/hilly landscape. The dome-like structure is a beautiful design, reminiscent of a planetarium but instead of being surrounded by stars, the glass dome lets you look out at a snow-covered sky. The domes typically consist of a triangular structure, typically geometric, which gives the concept of a dome. The most distinctive feature of this room is how it sits on the top of the hill, on a beautiful landscape.

Inside the igloo suite

The room interior is spacious and includes a king-sized bed, a chair and a coffee table with two glasses. The bed’s high-quality comfort gives the hotel room a classy look, with furry pillows and soft, downy duvets that can make you feel as if you are sleeping within a cloud. Even the furry blankets are an additional advantage to keep you warm. In addition to the seating, the dome is overall, very inviting, offering a couple of spots to stay, including the bed and a comfortable seating area. A little table, with two glasses, sits strategically in a spot where an individual can sit and enjoy a drink, or a snack if they want to.

The draw of the outside

Inevitably, the unique selling point of the room is the dome that allows for a panoramic view from the panoramic window cupola. This room offers the best views of the surrounding landscape. The dome’s windows allow you to enjoy the breathtaking scenery from the comfort of the room, and can be the perfect place to take the coziest nap of your life.
