Elqui Domos - Chile
A reference among astronomy enthusiasts, this small hotel park invites travelers to stay inside one of several canvas domes. Each of these unusual dwellings contains a loften bed under a roof that opens partially to offer a view onto the heavens. Far from the luxury of the above destinations, the domes are simple and sparsely furnished but provide all the basics. Stargazers will also appreciate the dedicated astronomy observatories located on site.
