Comprised of four private twin-bed cabins and a grotto (岩洞) room with a double bed, a dining area, and toilet facilities, Deep Sleep is a hotel unlike any other. Set deep within a section of the abandoned mine, 1,375 feet (419 meters) underground, it is being advertised as the deepest hotel in the world. If that sounds like the kind of place you’d actually want to spend the night, know that you’ll not only have to pay up to £550 ($688) per night, but also you need to cross a steep and challenging route through the old mine shafts (通道) to reach it.
The Deep Sleep Hotel was opened in April by outdoor activity company Go Below and opens up only once a week, from Saturday night through Sunday morning. Customers begin by making the booking online, and on Saturday evening begin their adventure by traveling to the Go Below base near the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, where trained guides wait to accompany them to the underground hotel. After trekking for 45 minutes through the mountains, visitors get prepared at a small cottage and prepare for their going down into the abandoned Cwmorthin mine, the world’s largest abandoned slate mine. The challenging route consists of old stairways, derelict bridges, and slacklines, and reaching the hotel takes about an hour.
Once at the Deep Sleep Hotel, guests are treated to a warm drink and an expedition-style meal, before they retire for a “deep sleep”. The temperature in the world’s deepest hotel remains a constant 10 degree Celsius all year round, but the thickly insulated (隔热的) cabins are reportedly quite comfortable and warm. They also feature running water, electricity and even Wi-Fi.
The Deep Sleep Hotel took the title of “world’s deepest hotel” from a suite in Sweden’s Sala Silver Mine, at 508 feet (154 meters) underground.
