IF YOU’VE EVER wanted to have a literal bird’s eye view, have we found just the hotel for you.

In the middle of a forest in northern Sweden the aptly named Bird’s Nest hotel, part of the Tree Hotel group that has designed a series of innovative hotels in the area, is high up in the trees and covered with twigs.

Suspended between trees six metres into the sky, you enter the treehouse through a retractable stairs in the centre of the ‘nest’. Once the stairs is pulled up,  the nest looks as if it’s floating above the forest.

The interior is entirely wood-panelled with circular port-hole style windows which are hidden from the outside amongst the twig exterior. Through these you can see amazing views such as Lule River and the Aurora Borealis.

Architect Bertil Harström says:

This concept is based upon the contrast between exterior and interior. From the outside it appears as a big nest, only the scale separating it from other nests in the vicinity. Discreet windows are almost hidden by the network of branches.

Not only can you sleep with the birds, you can have a sauna up there too – there are two tree-top saunas which can accommodate up to 12 people.

Additionally, the TreeHouse Hotel is very concerned with being environmentally responsible so there are environmentally-friendly combustion toilets and water-efficient sinks.

Built in 2010 with a series of 25 more planned, this 1950s era design-style hotel room can sleep 4 (two bunk beds and a double bed). The furniture, lighting and fabrics are also custom designed. There is also a bathroom and living area in the 17 sq metre space.
