An old silver mine converted into a cavernous underground hotel, Sala Silver Mine Hotel Sweet offers one part luxury and two parts spelunking wonderland.
At 155 meters (508.5 ft) under the surface, Sala Silvermine makes for the deepest and one of the most unique overnight stays in the world. The caverns have been beautified for guests, with brick flooring, massive candles, large and comfortable beds, soft armchairs, and an intercom system to call the guide for any needs. There is even a large dining area with rows of benches where breakfast is provided each morning. The caves are sometimes used as a unique venue for weddings.
When guests arrive, they are given a basket filled with fruits, chocolate, cheese, and whine. Visitors are welcome to explore to mines, which descend to a depth of 1,000 feet below surface. Winding caverns may just lead to the many underground lakes that glow in the light.
Sala Silvermine was “Sweden’s Treasure Chamber” in the 1500’s, producing 3 tons of silver each year that were mostly used to make silver coins for currency. The mine shut down in the early 1900’s, but the current use continues to provide rich experiences for those lucky enough to stay there.
