  If you want to get the best view of Aurora Borealis, it is best to be as far away from light pollution as possible.

  So this new floating hotel could be the perfect answer for holidaymakers who want to spend their evenings looking skyward for a glimpse of the glorious Northern Lights.

  Rather appropriately, the new luxury hotel will be shaped like a snowflake and will be based in the fjords near the Norwegian town of Tromso, which sits within the Arctic Circle - one of the best places to spot the celestial phenomenon.

   
  

Known as the Krystall hotel, the unusual property is being developed by company Dutch Docklands, which specialises in floating structures and will be the first floating hotel in Europe.

Work will begin next year and the 86-room hotel should be ready to open to visitors in 2017.

The five-star offering will boast a spa and wellness centre and is designed to be completely self-supporting and self-sustainable.

Dutch Docklands explained: 'The design is based on an ice crystal which blends-in naturally with the "winter environment" between the most beautiful fjords.'

   
   

The property will be built on a concrete base and will be tethered to the fjords, but will still be free to move between six and 10 feet either side of its epicentre.

However, guests should be unaware of the small changes in position, according to the designers.

The hotel has been branded a 'scarless development' by Waterstudio, a design company working alongside Dutch Docklands, as it will have minimal impact on its surroundings and could be removed in the future without any problem.

It has not been confirmed how much it will cost to develop the hotel, but Koen Olthius from Waterstudio said it is likely to be 15 per cent more than building a normal hotel, due to the floating foundation.

         
         

Dutch Docklands is also planning to open another floating property in the Maldives, called Ocean Flower.

  And Italian designer Michele Puzzolante has proposed the development of another floating hotel in the Maldives and there are plans afoot to build an entire city that sits on the surface of the water, including museums and a theme park in China.

据英国《每日邮报》7月31日报道，要欣赏绝美极光景象，最好远离光污染。为此，“荷兰码头”公司拟在挪威水域建造漂浮旅馆，为游客提供欣赏极光的最佳场所。

　　该旅馆名为“克里斯托尔”，外形与雪花十分相似，将建在挪威北部特罗姆瑟（Tromso）附近的峡湾中。特罗姆瑟位于北极圈中，是欣赏极光的最佳场地之一。建成后，它将成为欧洲第一家漂浮旅馆。

　　旅馆将于2015年动工开建，2017年向游客开放，届时将有86个房间，并配有温泉与健身中心。“荷兰码头”公司说：“我们的设计从冰晶体中获得灵感。冬天时，旅馆将大自然与周围的环境相容。”

　　目前尚不清楚这家旅馆的投资数额。据悉，“荷兰码头”公司还计划在马尔代夫建造另一座漂浮建筑，名为“海洋之花”。

荷兰一家公司准备在挪威位于北极圈内的城市特罗姆瑟开发建设一家“水晶酒店”，整体外观像一片美丽的雪花，将成为旅客观看极光的好去处。

　　据报道，这家五星级“水晶酒店”将被设计成漂浮在水面上，酒店拥有86个房间，将于2017年对外开放。酒店除了各种设施一应俱全外，还是个可循环、可持续的建筑。

据报道，这家五星级“水晶酒店”将被设计成漂浮在水面上，酒店拥有86个房间，将于2017年对外开放。酒店除了各种设施一应俱全外，还是个可循环、可持续的建筑。
    据报道，酒店将会在2015年中期开工。但由于酒店的特殊性，酒店将会在码头上用钢筋混泥土建造，之后再牵引到海中并由缆索加固到两个海峡之间。虽然漂浮酒店缺乏稳固基，但在内的游客们根本不用担心是否会过度漂浮。开发公司还声称，这座酒店的建造以及开放绝对不会对当地造成任何长久的负面影响。

    水晶雪花酒店将会成为欧洲第一个漂浮酒店，此外，开发公司还有意在马尔代夫建造漂浮度假村又或漂浮酒店甚至漂浮城市。此外，开发者还有意在中国建造漂浮博物馆和漂浮主题公园。
