World’s deepest hotel is now open to visitors
A new hotel has arrived in the tourism circuit, offering you a chance to sleep at the bottom of a Victorian mine.
If reports are to go by, it offers the deepest underground bed on the planet to enjoy a deep sleep This hotel has opened 1,375 ft below the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales, and is called Deep Sleep. It comes with private twin-bed cabins and a ‘romantic’ grotto room with a double bed, loo and dining facilities, and much more.
The hotel describes itself as a ‘remote-camp adventure experience,’ which will open only one night a week – Saturday night. Reports add that guests’ experience will start on Saturday evenings at 5 PM at Go Below’s base near the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, from where the guides will help them to reach the hotel.
Guests will need to trek for around 45 minutes into the mountains on a route that is steep at some places, but are surrounded by scenic views. They will then stop at a cottage to ‘kit up’ for their descent with a light, helmet, Wellington boots, and a harness.
After this, the guests will bid goodbye to the outside world, and make their way into the depths of the world’s largest and deepest abandoned slate mine. Guests will then pass a challenging route through the mine, which was in operation from around 1810 to 1939. They will be required to navigate decaying bridges and ancient miners’ stairways.
All the way, the guide will be offering you all of the historical information about the lives of the men and boys who worked in the mine en route. The descent to the hotel will likely take around an hour.
The guests will see a large steel door after some trekking, which will mark the end of the trip, and their entrance to the Deep Sleep room. There, they will find numerous small cabins with single beds, and various other amenities. Once you retire to your room, be ready for a deep sleep!
