Unusual Salt Hotel of Bolivia — Bolivia’s “Hotel de Sal” sits alone atop a vast plain of milk coloured and perfectly level salt which is more reminiscent of an oversized skating rink than a piece of land at 3600 meters above sea level in Southern Bolivia. The Palace of Salt is situated at the edge of Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat, about 220 miles south of Bolivia’s capital La Paz. Custom hotel was constructed in Bolivia.
This modest hotel is really unusual in that it is constructed of salt.
This hotel will surprise any tourist, since it is created and a big
quantity of material – 10,000 tons of salt. All walls, floor and
furniture of this hotel are made in salt. It is clear, as around in
kilometers the hydrochloric desert was stretched. There is unique
building material, it houses no more than 10 tiny rooms that will
often leave guests testing to see if they can touch their left hand to
one wall and their right to the other. There is only one public washroom
and, no, the toilet itself isn’t made of salt; it is one of the few
structural pieces that isn’t sodium based. The walls are steadied by
thick bricks of heat-treated salt crystals which are adhered together by
a bleach white form of salt cement. A vast array of jagged salt constructed furniture completes the design.
