With
the world’s first space hotel, named the Voyager Class
space station, tipped to open in 2027, and intergalactic travel
still a dream for those of us not in the multimillionaire club,
we’re checking in to these futuristic properties to take us to
infinity and beyond.
Reach for the stars with these nine otherworldly, space-age
hotels
hotel
Hotel Aire de Bardenas
Tudela, Spain
hotel
Tuve
Hong Kong, China
If Alice tumbled down the rabbit hole and woke up in Hong
Kong 200 years from now, TUVE is what she might find. A place
to be disoriented and reoriented all at once, stepping past its
dishevelled exterior into the low-lit lobby is like checking in to
another state of mind. By playing with the dichotomy between light
and dark, stark and comfortable, hidden and open, the hotel evokes
a crisply utopian vibe which invites quietness and contemplation in
this most hectic of cities.
hotel
Amangiri
Canyon Point, United States
This sultry stunner, snugly tucked among the canyons of the
American southwest, is a modern tribute to
Utah‘s Navajo spirit. Palaeontology and climbing excursions
connect you to the story of the dramatic landscape and white stone
walls and floors act as a canvas for the constantly metamorphosing
colours of the desert skies, while outdoor fireplaces see you
through moonlit nights. For real supervillain-secret-lair style,
though, we’d angle for a stay at Mesa Home: a private four-bed with
a 50ft infinity pool.
hotel
Viña Vik
Millahue, Chile
hotel
The Retreat at Blue Lagoon
Reykjavík, Iceland
hotel
Atix Hotel
La Paz, Bolivia
Address
Calle 16 Nº8052 Calacoto entre Julio Patiño y Sanchez Bustamante, Bolivia
hotel
The Beaumont
London, United Kingdom
Upon first glance, The Beaumont appears like any other Mayfair
madam. However, contemporary artist Antony Gormley has spiked this
British tea party with a shot of something stronger in the form of
ROOM, a robotic installation attached to the building’s façade like
a beautiful parasite. Inside, guests are invited to disrobe before
taking the marble staircase to the 10ft high cocoon, containing
nothing but a bed, the stars and total blackness. As a society
beauty with a twisted heart of darkness, it enthrals.

Shanghai, China

No.1-3, Maojiayuan Road Off South Zhongshan Road, Huangpu, 200010 Shanghai, China
hotel
Viceroy Los Cabos
Los Cabos, Mexico
