Guests climb into their spheres via spiral staircases leading to short suspension bridges, a path they must then retrace to reach the composting toilet outhouse located at the base of the spheres.
Dog Bark Park Inn, Cottonwood, Idaho

According to the Natura Vive alpine resort, the next best thing to sleeping in a condor’s nest is sleeping in one of its three transparent capsules that hang from a mountainside. Made out of aerospace-grade aluminum and weather-resistant polycarbonate, each suite comes with four beds, a dining area and, somehow, a private bathroom. Getting there, meanwhile, requires guests to scale a via ferrata course or brave a series of zip lines.
