The room is, like all others within the hotel, crafted using large blocks of ice; this suite, however, features [spacecraft-shaped adornments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byers-house) that are supported by massive frozen pillars to promote an alien-esque atmosphere. The bed in the 'Beam Me Up' suite is fashioned to resemble a beam of light emitting from one of the [cylindrical spaceships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/night-light-projectors). There is intense focus on lighting inside the room with many of the illuminators shining through ice sculptures to give off an out-of-this-world effect. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Extraterrestrial-themed Accommodations:** Creating immersive hotel suites inspired by science fiction spaceships provides a unique and memorable experience for travelers. - **Ice Sculpture Decor:** Using ice sculptures as a form of decor in hotel rooms creates a stunning and otherworldly atmosphere. - **Innovative Lighting Techniques:** Incorporating unique lighting techniques, such as shining lights through ice sculptures, adds a visually captivating element to hotel room designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality and Tourism:** The hospitality industry can capitalize on the growing demand for unique and immersive accommodations by offering themed hotel suites and experiences. - **Art and Sculpture:** Ice sculptors can find new opportunities by creating custom ice sculptures for hotels, especially those looking to create a sci-fi or extraterrestrial atmosphere. - **Lighting Design and Technology:** Lighting designers and technology companies can explore innovative ways to incorporate lighting into ice structures and sculptures for various applications, including hospitality and event settings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shapeshifting Outer Space Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acromnia-orbital-hotel.md) - [Sci-Fi Coastal Hotel Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epicon.md) - [Themed Hotel Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-shangri-la.md) - [Space-Themed Home Decor Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aftonsparv.md) - [Mobile Otherworldly Hotel Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-mobile-resort-hotel.md) - [Space Tourism-Inspired Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ichi-station.md) - [Sky-Based Hotel Aircrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuclearpowered-sky-hotel.md) - [Space Exploration Hotel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uplift-aerospace.md) - [Hotel Sci-Fi Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novotel.md)
