The Salt Hotel of Salar de Uyuni is sort of similar to the ice hotels in Norway and Sweden, only it’s never in any danger of melting. The hotel is built completely of blocks of salt cut out of the lake; similar to how Eskimo’s cut snow to make their igloos. The sun heats the massive blocks of salt so that while the surrounding temperatures drop massively during the night, the interior remains warm and cosy.
The hotel has 15 bedrooms, a dining room, a living room and a bar. Almost everything is made up of salt; you sit on the salt chairs, eat on salt tables, sleep on salt beds and enjoy your drinks in the salt bar. In the dining room of the hotel the salt is always on the table or rather it would apt to say the salt is the table. The toilets, lighting and pool table are the only things made of contemporary materials.
There is only one rule guests must adhere to when staying at the hotel: no licking the walls!
