Ice hotels are nothing new, but if there's one ingredient you're sure you can't build a hotel out of, it's salt. Because salt belongs on the table, right? Error. Welcome to the salt hotel Palacio de Sal, ('palace of salt' in Spanish), located in the Salar de Uyunina region of southwestern Bolivia, the largest salt flat in the world, more than 3,500 meters above sea level.
Salt hotel Palacio de Sal it is not a mirage as the otherworldly landscape otherwise seems Salar de Uyun (Bolivia), where it lies. It is a real and the largest salt hotel in the world made of bricks made of salt, a commodity that is not lacking in these parts as it literally lies on the ground, so it is logical that it was used as a building material. They are also made of white crystals walls, ceilings, sculptures, tables, chairs, beds and other furniture. The hotel has with 30 rooms, which resemble igloos, except that instead of ice cubes or snow cubes made of salt cubes.
In addition, it also offers a Finnish sauna and a salt and massage pool. But if you think you'll be able to get there and licked the walls like Ariana Grande licking a donut, you are wrong, because the hotel rules prohibit this for the sake of degradation.
