Mirrorcube, Sweden’s ‘invisible’ hotel room A unique room in Sweden’s Tree Hotel has been designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Scandinavian design has a reputation for being cool, subtle and discreet, so it’s appropriate that the unique Mirrorcube room forms part of a Swedish hotel.

Found in Harads, about 50 kilometres outside of the city of Lulea in northern Sweden, Tree Hotel is a hotel composed of five individually designed ‘treerooms’, each of which was created in collaboration with leading Scandinavian architects.

Standing at a height of between four and six metres above the ground and accessed via ramp, bridge or retractable stairs, accommodation options include ‘The Bird’s Nest’, which, as you can probably guess, resembles a giant bird’s nest. ‘The UFO’ resembles the flying saucers shown in old sci-fi movies and ‘The Cabin’ is a spacious shed wedged between tree trunks.
