Europe
Observatory Hotels and Aurora Destinations
Europe is Stella’s observatory-hotel, aurora architecture, Starlight lodging, Alpine telescope route, and professional observatory collection.
Glass igloos and Arctic design stays are labeled as aurora or sky architecture, not telescope hotels.
Pic du Midi, Teide, La Palma, and similar rows remain planning references until tied to ordinary lodging inventory.
Observatory Hotels
Europe launch rows with on-site observatories, dome infrastructure, or serious telescope access.
