Netherlands-based company Dutch Docklands has designed the Krystall Hotel, a snowflake-shaped floating 5-star hotel in Norway.

The Krystall Hotel is slated for opening in 2017. It will contain 86 rooms, and will be situation in the fjords near Tromso in Norway, a spot which sits within the Arctic Circle – perfect for watching the Northern Lights.

Definitely more interesting than a cruise ship, and the glass roof is a nice touch.

Still, is it just me or does this seem like the perfect setup for a supervillain’s new secret(ish) base?

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
