Located in an abandoned mine, 419m deep, under the Snowdonia mountains in Wales, the 'Deep Sleep' hotel is known as the deepest hotel in the world.

With four private twin cabins and a cave room with a double bed, dining area and toilet, Deep Sleep is a hotel unlike any other. Located deep within a disused part of the Cwmorthin Quarry, 419m underground, Deep Sleep is billed as the deepest hotel in the world. Not only will guests have to pay $688 a night to experience the hotel, they will also have to undertake a challenging expedition – traversing steep paths and old mine shafts.
The Deep Sleep Hotel opened in April by the Go Below company and is open to guests only one night a week, on Saturdays.

Visitors will begin their adventure at the Go Inside base near the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, where trained guides will guide them to the underground hotel.
After a 45-minute hike through the mountains, guests pack up at a small cottage and head down to Cwmorthin, the world’s largest disused slate quarry. The challenging route includes old staircases, derelict bridges and a slide. It takes around an hour to reach the hotel.
While staying at Deep Sleep, guests are treated to hot drinks and expedition-style meals before drifting off into a deep sleep. The temperature in the world’s deepest hotel remains a constant 10 degrees Celsius year-round, but the heavily insulated cabins are said to be quite cozy. The hotel also has running water, electricity, and even Wi-Fi via a 1km Ethernet cable from a 4G antenna above ground.
The Deep Sleep Hotel has taken the title of “world’s deepest hotel” from a suite in Sweden’s Sala silver mine, located 154m underground.
