- Treehotel CabinBack in the summer we told you about <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/07/13/stunning-swedish-treehotel-opens-this-weekend/" target="_blank">Sweden's amazing Treehotel</a>, which features an incredible <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/07/13/stunning-swedish-treehotel-opens-this-weekend/mirrorcube-ed02/?extend=1" target="_blank">Mirrorcube</a> cabin in addition to several other prefab treehouses situated high up in the branches. The hotel has since opened, and we have a brand new set of photos that offer a look inside each of the completed rooms. We're blown away by these amazing structures based on the photos alone, and we're simply in awe of the beautiful views these <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/06/form-and-forest-prefab-flat-pack-cabins/" target="_blank">prefab cabins</a> provide of the surrounding forest. How much do flights to Sweden cost these days?1
- Treehotel MirrorcubeThe Treehotel opened mid-July and includes four rooms: the Mirrorcube, Bluecone, Birdsnest, and the Cabin, along with a sauna.2
- Treehotel BlueconeEach room was designed and prefabricated by a different architect and then installed high up in the trees.3
