Summary


Who stays at the Treehotel? [Kent] says guests come from all over the world: China, New Zealand, England. A family from Spain will celebrate New Year's Eve in the Treehotel, far from the hullabaloo of noisemakers and fireworks. What will greet them instead is silence and darkness. A night for two at the Mirrorcube will cost you SEK 4200 ($633), and at the Bird's Nest sek 3800 ($573), which includes a breakfast buffet at [Britta Lindvall]'s Guesthouse (where you check in). The rooms have coffee- and teamakers, like most hotel rooms. And more rooms are in the plans.

The idea for the hotel, which opened last summer, came to Kent and Britta Lindvall, the owners of Britta's Guesthouse, four years ago, after director Jonas Selberg Augustsen and his film crew shot the film The Tree Lover in Harads, leaving behind one of their props: a tree house. Britta suggested using it as an extra room for the guesthouse and thought perhaps more tree houses could be built. Kent knew a few architects who'd come along on his organized flyfishing trips, and he asked them to help him design the houses. Thus the idea began to take shape.
