Although, if you book the nest, youll be required to pitch a tent just below it, in case the weathers too bad to sleep in the nest (its bang on a ridge overlooking Highway 1 and the Pacific, so its the windiest part

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/Treehotel_MirrorCube.jpg" class="top">If you haven't had your daily dose of caffeine yet, load up now. What you're looking at is one of the newest hotels in Sweden. No, we haven't lost our marbles. This is the Mirrored Cube room, part of the <a href="http://www.treehotel.se">Treehotel</a> which opens this Saturday in the village of Harads, just south of the Arctic Circle. We're all for high-concept hotel design, but this has to be one of the wackiest rooms we've seen yet. And lest you think this is as out-there as it gets at the Treehotel, you should know that other rooms have names such as The Bird's Nest, The Cabin and The Blue Cone. These four will be ready for the grand opening,

We don't know why. Maybe we watched the "Swiss Family Robinson" way too many times on the Disney Channel growing up.

If you're looking to spice up your next hotel stay, you must book this suite which sits 90 feet above the forest floor and offers up close and personal viewing of toucans, monkeys, orchids and fauna. But it's not just a wooden plank that's been plopped into a tree and secured by a few nails. No, the thatched roof and wooden treehouse is not

Ashford: Up Where We Belong at Cedar Creek Treehouse

Get high, 50 feet in the sky at Cedar Creek Treehouse. We pinky-swear that the octagonal cabin digs atop this 200-year old Western Red Cedar tree are perhaps the coolest accommodations you’ve ever seen.

Guests brave a towering, five-story giant helix (a.k.a. “Stairway to Heaven”) that leads to the treehouse. The treehouse sleeps up to five people comfortably, with additional space on the fourth floor stairwell observation floor and camping spots below. Don’t expect amenities – electricity is provided by a 12-volt battery, limited supplies of water comes from a well in Ashford, and your fridge is nothing more than your standard issue tailgating ice chest cooler.

A truly green traveler goes to a place that is almost entirely sustainable, if not completely. Also, this green resort or hotel should include the locals and the surrounding area as much as it can.Fortunately for these earth-conscious travelers, such eco-resorts are becoming more and more popular. And the latest one is set to hit in beautiful <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/browse/Central%20America%20And%20Caribbean/dm">Dominica</a> where the local government has not only approved plans for the eco-lodge, but is actually involved in building it. The Distinguished International Hotel Group has got a partnership going with the Government of Dominica and the
