If you're a part of the "Go Green" movement and struggling to find a place to vacation -- Eco Pod has the perfect getaway for you (via Urban Daddy).

Sleep beneath the Scotland stars in your very own glass dome, the Eco Pod.

The igloo-like rooms don't leave a permanent footprint on the land.

They are set on the west coast of Scotland, with view of Loch Linhe and the mountains of Mukk and Kingairloch coastline.

These luxury pods feature a glass ceiling, a kitchen (where the appliances have been carefully selected to use minimum power), "hampers" filled with local goods such as sea scallops, hand-made chocolate and locally brewed beers. The pods sleep two.

Rooms go for about $1,800 for a seven-night stay.

These pods are popular. If you want to make your retreat to the coast of Scotland -- better hurry and book now. There's one seven-day stay left in September. Then, It's booked solid through the middle of October.

The Sultan Of Brunei's Los Angeles Hotel Is Reopening With A $13,500-A-Night Presidential Suite

The legendary Hotel Bel-Air, owned by the Sultan of Brunei's Dorchester Collection, is set to re-open in October after a two-year, multimillion-dollar renovation that will bring the iconic property into the 21st century including a posh Presidential Suite.

The famed Spanish Colonial architecture splashed in "Bel-Air Pink" will remain, while a new interpretation of timelessness is reflected through different design themes, from American mid-century modern to the glamorous decades of the 1930s, 40s and 50s conveyed in a "fresh, youthful and elegant" manner. 

The hotel will re-open with a total of 103 guestrooms and suites, including 12 new luxurious spaces built into the hillside offering sweeping canyon views, expansive sliding glass walls, outdoor fireplaces and spacious decks with private infinity edge spa pools. 

In addition, there will be seven individually designed specialty suites including the hotel's famed Grace Kelly Suite and a new Presidential Suite compound with 6,775 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space. The suite, starting at $13,500 per night, will offer private dining for 10, a chef's kitchen, a study, great room with grand piano, and a private pool located within a private Spanish courtyard. 

New to the hotel is a 12,000-square-foot building featuring a new fitness studio, three unique Loft guestrooms with open floor plans, double sided fireplaces and dramatic high ceilings, as well as a brand new 4,134-square-foot Spa by La Prairie. The spa will showcase seven treatment rooms including a private couples' room with an outdoor patio. 

The hotel's dining venues will be overseen by the famed Wolfgang Puck, with the signature restaurant dubbed Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air. The culinary concept will be focused on modern California cuisine with European and Mediterranean influences. Visit HotelBelAir.com to see more.

CNN's Matthew Chance has just tweeted that the journalists who were being held hostage by loyalist forces in the Rixos Hotel in Tripoli have been had been freed.

About 36 foreigners including the BBC's Matthew Price have been barred from leaving the hotel for nearly 5 days.

Earlier today Price told BBC's Radio 4 that conditions in the hotel were becoming "desperate" as food and water ran out and occupants were prevented from leaving by loyalist forces bearing guns.

Chance appeared on CNN a short time ago to report that everyone had now been freed and that no injuries had been reported.
