四个很奇特的树屋酒店

If you’re tired of common hotel rooms, maybe it’s time to climb into a tree. A new generation of treehouses are appearing across the world, and designer Roderick Romero says he knows why and he said, “They’re magical. I’ve never seen someone climb into a treehouse and not smile.”

Edisto River  Canadys, S.C.

Before you can stay in one of the wilderness treehouses, you first have to row down the Edisto River. The treehouses offer a cooking tool and a comfortable sleeping bed. “It’s a really good place to get back to nature,” Romero says. The houses have gas stoves and are lit by lanterns.

Treehotel  

Romero was astonished when he first saw the buildings at this hotel 40 miles south of the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden. “It blew my mind. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” he says. “The hotel rooms draw heavily on spare Scandinavian design, and this is one of the coolest ideas for a treehouse.” The website: treehotel.se.

Hideaway Café

While most treehouses are found in the woods, this coffee shop and small hotel turns the idea on its head with a location in the center of Tokyo. The building itself stands on stilts(金属桩) with a tree growing through the center of it. The café was the first treehouse designed by Kobayashi Takashi, who has since created more than 120 homes. “He’s one of my heroes,” Romero says. “In the treehouse community, he’s who we talk about the most.” The website: treehouse.jp/hideaway/.

Tongabezi  

One of the world’s most stylish treehouses is in a tree alongside the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls. The large pine deck holds a bed and Turkish carpets. Guests can go to see wild animals, or simply stay there and watch for hippos(河马) playing in the river. The website: below.tongabezi.com.
