Once Sweden's largest silver mine, this place is now a extravagant [underground retreat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plan-b-1). Accessed through a mine life shaft, these chilly rooms consist of a fancy double bed and shiny silver furniture. To keep visitors entertained there are two large dining rooms, and big metallic chandeliers, candle holders and silvery surfaces that maintain the atmosphere alive and animated. Additionally, there are activities like [cave diving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/javier-senosiain-arquitectos) in 35 degree Fahrenheit water. Outside, guests can also find wire adventure tracks. The Sala Silver Mine hotel took ten years to be constructed, which is the time that it took to carve out the bedrooms.
