This partially underground hotel is a reflection of the real way the residents live
The Desert Cave Hotel is a unique, partially underground hotel located in the mining town of Coober Pedy in south-central Australia. The town is known for the high number of people who actually live in underground “dugouts” and the hotel is a reflection of that tradition. The reason for putting a house underground is that this area of the country is frequently unbearably hot and being submerged has a natural cooling effect that keeps the homes comfortable.
