Switzerland: military bunker in Alps has turned into the hotel

Unique underground hotel has been constructed in Swiss Alps. The hotel is located directly on the well-known Saint-Gothard pass.
Swiss hotel La Claustra is created for those, who is ready to go down deeply under the ground for the sake of a coziness. The hotel has no TVs and mobile network, however, conditions for lodgers are comfortable.
The hotel is located in the former military bunker, which has a rich history.
In order to get to this hotel, it is necessary to find an imperceptible door in mountain slope. The 200-meter tunnel leads to the place, where area in 4 thousand square meters and 17 rooms, restaurant, bar, SPA-centre and conference hall with library are arranged.
Developing interiors of underground residence, designers had to create non-standard decisions. For example, the cleanest water in bathrooms arrives from underground mountain sources, and the role of windows in bedrooms is carried out by mirrors, in which it is possible to see the drawn mountain panoramas.
Accommodation conditions here requite comfortable: it is possible to relax in a bath equipped in ancient cave, to try dishes of European and Chinese cuisine. And in the late evening lodgers can enjoy star sky from hotel: in the former loophole in tunnel the powerful telescope is established.
