Chilean hotel Elqui Domos just opened a series of cabin ‘observatories’ that are beautiful. The cabin bedrooms are ground level and have large sky light windows. Great for star gazing. We can thank architect Rodrigo Duque Motta for these lux little gems!

Be sure to check out the hotel’s site for a glimpse at their, now famous geodesic dome hotel rooms as well.
