Hanging a room over a larger one is a great way to save space. A dangling room on its own is just plain cool. Here now, the seven best suspended rooms you will ever see.
Suspended hotel room
Bridging two towers of the Nation Tower in Abu Dhabi, the St. Regis Hotel suite is, according to Huffington Post, the world’s highest suspended room at 656 feet (200 meters) above the ground. The 11,600-square-foot, three-bedroom luxury unit has its own spa, movie theatre, gym and private elevator. No word on nightly rates, but if we had to guess, we’d say it’s expensive.

Free Spirit Spheres
Suspended above the rainforest floor on Vancouver Island, the Free Spirit Spheres offer guests a taste of what life would be like in an Ewok Village. Nightly rates in the arboreal hotel rooms range from $145 to $235. Photos: FreeSpiritSpheres
Cocoon Tree
Staying with the treehouse trend, the aptly named Cocoon Tree dangles between branches thanks to a system of suspension wires. Weighing only 130 pounds, the aluminium structure can hold up to one ton. Photos: CocoonTree
