Some 40 miles south of the Arctic Circle in Sweden, an incredible hotel was built, called "Tree hotel".
The hotel consists of four rooms, which are nestled between six and 40 feet up in the pines and are accessible through wooden ladders and ropes.
The rooms designed by different Swedish architects， so each room is designed to have a different character and most contain double beds, seating, but no televisions, because that isn't the ethos of the hotel.
The most striking is a luxury room called the Mirror cube, which is coated in a reflective material that causes it to blend into the surrounding forest.
"The idea was to create a comfortable, well built hotel which will allow people to live in harmony with nature in the tree tops,' said Kent Lindwall, who created the Tree Hotel concept with his wife last year.
"We have gone out of our way to make these rooms as eco-friendly as possible, with incinerating toilets in every tree house. Each of the hotel rooms is built from wood and aluminum locally sourced in Sweden and the floors are heated using a solar generator on the property." said Kent.
This eco-friendly hotel near to the town of Harads, has been named on the prestigious Conde Nast Traveller Hot List for 2011.


在瑞典北极圈以南40英里处，有一个奇特的"树屋宾馆"。

宾馆共有四个房间，建在距离地面6-40英尺的松树上, 旅客通过木梯和绳索进入。

宾馆每个房间是由不同的瑞典建筑师设计而成，因此每个房间都有自己独特的风格。多数房间里都配有双人床和座椅，但是没有电视机，因为那与这家宾馆的气质不符。

最令人惊叹的是一间名为"镜面魔方"的豪华间，它外面涂有反射材料，使其很好地融入了附近的森林环境。

"这座宾馆的创建理念就是为了给人们提供一个舒适、精致的地方，让人们能够在树的顶部与自然和谐共处"，肯特-林德沃表示。肯特于去年和妻子共同建造了这家宾馆。

"我们尽可能的让这家宾馆做到环保。每个房间都有灰化式厕所，每间房子都是由瑞典当地的木材和铝材制成，地板通过宾馆的太阳能发电机来供热"，肯特说。


这个位于哈拉斯镇上的环保宾馆还荣登美国权威杂志Conde Nast Traveller 2011热榜。
