The hotel hidden inside a Swedish silver mine

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Travelers seeking the ultimate isolated getaway can book a suite buried five hundred feet beneath the Swedish earth at the Sala Silvermine. Guests take a damp, terrifying elevator ride down into winding, echoing caverns to sleep in total silent darkness, entirely cut off from all cellular signals and sunlight in the deepest hotel room on the planet.
