The hotels below, are definitely not suitable for people who suffer from a fear of heights, but will reward you with breathtaking views while hanging on the edge of a cliff, in glaciers or in trees.
Hotel Caesar Augustus, Italy
It has the most spectacular views in the entire island. Hanging on a hill, 300 meters above the Bay of Naples, with 53 totally chic rooms and suites as well as a brand new two level infinity pool. If you can afford it, book the Farouk Suite that the king of Egypt reserved throughout the year, even though he was visiting only for a few weeks.
Parador de Ronda, Ronda, Spain
Ronda is a fascinating city of Andalusia almost hovering at an altitude of 760 meters above the sea. The hotel Parador de Ronda is located on the edge of the gorge created by the river Guadalevin and divides the city in two. There is no corner of the property from the pool and gardens to the rooms and restaurants that do not offer a panoramic view of the gorge, El Tajo. In order to understand how dangerous the hotel teeters on the edge of the cliff you should see it from far away.
Whitepod Hotel, Sweden
A hotel that only few can reach. Both because of the cost and in terms of topography. It is a pod hotel that operates only in winter. Located in Les Cerniers, a small village at the foot of the Dents du Midi mountain in Sweden. The White Pod is not just a hotel in ice. It is a unique, eco ice hotel which offers an unprecedented accommodation for camping on the ice. So close to nature, in a white futuristic landscape with natural lighting from the northern lights which can be seen from the igloo tents, which can become when wanted a clear sky ceiling. The tents are equipped with wood burning stoves with warm blankets, rugs, liqueur and brandy in the mini bar. Camping on the ice with light aurora borealis, with music that hits the air in the ice and rocks and atmosphere from the smoke of the chimneys of white tents.
Jade Screen Hotel, China
It is the only hotel in Mount Huangshan, a protected monument by UNESCO. Visitors flock here to see up close one of the famous and legendary mountains of China since its starring in dozens of legends and literary texts. To reach the hotel the best option is via the cable car, but the more adventurous prefer to walk about three hours. The task becomes even bigger and more epic if you think that almost all hotel supplies arrive this way.
Green Magic Nature Resort, India
Would you spend a night on a tree in South India in the heart of the tropical dense forest Wayanad? If yes, the rooms will arrive walking on an overpass from sugar cane, which are manufactured from bamboo, coconut leaves and coconut fiber. All guests are invited to plant a sapling.
