Climb the stair from the room below and the roof deck opens onto nothing but sky. The bed sits under a canvas cover that rolls back by hand, so you choose how much of the night you see.

Nights are cool on the mesa even in summer. Down sleeping bags rated to 20°F are on the bed, and there is a warm room below if the wind picks up.

Good for: the adventurous, meteor showers, and people who want to fall asleep counting satellites.
