Stay in the only potato hotel in the world

LOCATED in the US, The Big Idaho Potato Hotel is dubbed the only potato hotel in the world. The 6-ton spud made of steel, plaster and concrete is set on a field in South Boise and offers picturesque views of the Owyhee Mountains.

Don’t let the exterior fool you, though. Once you step inside, you will find stunning design features and top amenities. The 8.5m long, 3,6m wide and 3.5m tall potato has all the perks of a comfortable hotel stay. The eco-friendly offering features a double bed, a seating area, a cleverly crafted chandelier, a minifridge and an old record player.

The bathroom is in the recycled silo, just a few steps away from the potato. The luxe offering also features a whirlpool, fireplace and a skylight for night-time star-gazing.

The stay comes with a cow who will be your pet for the duration of your stay. The potato’s walls are made of thick green expanding foam for heating and cooling efficiencies.

A stay here costs R2 984 a night. Visit www.idahopotato.com/bigidaho-potato-hotel. |
