Cubicle Dreamin': Longitude 131 at Ayers Rock

Where: Yulara, NT, Australia, 0872

Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.

In this episode, Hotel Maven Amanda K lets us know where she would go in her homeland of Australia. Enjoy.

Take me right into the dead center of Australia, where you have to be careful of heat, snakes and thirst so that you don't end up dead yourself, and then give me luxury. Put me in front of the totally enchanting Uluru (Ayers Rock) and this'd be heaven. That's why I spend wintry nights dreaming of staying at Longitude 131 luxury Australian outback experience.

With a maximum of 30 guests, and no children under 15 allowed, a full window on the rock side of your luxury tent-shaped room gives you a sunrise view of Uluru without leaving the air-conditioning. You can eat in the restaurant or take the typical Uluru "eat under the stars" exerience to a new level of luxury. Add the swimming pool, 24-hour bar and even a library and you have heaven for me, even before I read this:

As far from anywhere else as you can be. As close as possible to serenity. Rejuvenation for the body. Stimulation for the mind. Liberation for the spirit.

I know it's advertising, but I believe it, and I really, really want to go!
