Snowflake-Shaped Floating Hotels

The Krystall Hotel Will Offer Best View of the Aurora Borealis

— August 4, 2014 — Art & Design
Slated to open in 2017, people will want to book a room as soon as possible at the Krystall Hotel to get the best view of the Aurora Borealis. An innovative hotel shaped like a snowflake and set to float in the fjords near Tromso, Norway, a spot which sits within the Arctic Circle, guests will reportedly have an unobstructed view of the natural phenomenon from the comfort of their glass-ceiling accommodations.

Designed by Dutch Docklands, a company based in the Netherlands, the Krystall Hotel will be far away from any light pollution, hence one of the many reasons why it will grant the best view of the Aurora Borealis. The Krystall Hotel will be made up of 86 rooms.
