Stargazing Accommodations

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Elqui Domos Astronomical Hotel Focuses on the Skies

— August 2, 2012 — World
Appreciating all that nature has to offer is given a whole new meaning at the Elqui Domos Astronomical Hotel. Built on a stunning site surrounded by valleys, mountains and the occasional shrubbery, its key feature is the ability to stargaze at night. The remote area happens to be renowned for its sharp, clear skies. To fully embrace this asset, the hotel is made up of single wooden-structured cabins finished with translucent fabric domes to encourage the eyes to remain upturned.

Designed by Rodrigo Duque Motta, the Elqui Domos Astronomical Hotel is located in Pisco Elqui, Paiguano, Coquimbo Region, Chile. The structures themselves are fairly straightforward and plain, which allows them to blend into the dry landscape. Inside, however, the cabins are airy, minimalist and modern, offering a nice reprieve from the harsh environment outside.
Trend Themes
1. Astro-tourism - The rising interest in astro-tourism presents opportunities for the hospitality industry to create unique accommodations that cater to stargazing experiences.
2. Eco-friendly Design - The trend towards sustainable and environmentally friendly design can be applied to astronomical hotels, allowing them to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
3. Wellness Tourism - Combining the benefits of nature and stargazing with wellness experiences can create innovative offerings for the wellness tourism industry.
Industry Implications

2. Architecture - The architectural industry can incorporate eco-friendly designs into astronomical hotels, creating sustainable and visually appealing structures that blend with the environment.
3. Wellness - The wellness tourism industry can incorporate stargazing experiences into wellness retreats, creating unique and rejuvenating offerings for travelers seeking relaxation and connection to nature.
