When fancy meets geeky, the result is a $670 a night stay in the Star Trek room at the Sheraton Hotel in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
This hotel features everything a ‘trekkie’ – a hardcore fan of Star Trek – will feel is appropriate to make the hotel feel as authentic as the show’s set as possible.
When people first enter the room, the first detail they will notice is the walls. They offer a nostalgic sense of being aboard the Enterprise (spacecraft in the Star Trek series), as the walls are black like the night sky and are covered with star designs that are made up of 7,000 crystals and LED lights. To imitate the overall atmosphere of the series and movies, the memorable logo appears on almost everything in the room.
Although the room is quite pricey, it does have its added perks to sway you into staying. First, if you want to share this experience with your boyfriend or girlfriend and provide them with an awesome getaway, a couple can stay for $715 a night. Second, the LED lights can be customized to each visitor’s experience with the use of a remote. Finally, people will enjoy a complimentary breakfast and tickets to ‘Star Trek Into the Darkness.’
Whether you’re a long-time trekkie or only know that Chris Pine plays in the Star Trek movies, there’s no denying this room is truly remarkable.
