Design Your Own Pop-Up Hotel and Sleep Literally Anywhere in the World
A high-end travel operator will actually build a hotel from the ground up, just for you, the way you like it.
For your next vacation, forget about taking inspiration from Instagram. You?re going to go where nobody has been before, on a trip that nobody has ever taken?and that nobody after you will ever take again.

Here?s how it works: You pick a country or region, and Black Tomato will find a pristine parcel of land on which to build you a fully customized pop-up hotel, complete with staff and meals and excursions. You choose everything from the view to the bed linens to the bottles in your pop-up wine cellar. It?s tailor-made travel in the most literal way ever.
