I Renovated a Missile Silo for $800,000. It’s Not for Everyone.
Exclusive Luxury Stay at a Decommissioned Missile Silo
Deep in the heart of Arkansas, a mysterious and luxurious getaway awaits. For $700 to $1,000 per night, you can experience the ultimate in exclusivity and pampering at a decommissioned missile silo, converted by its eccentric owner, GT Hill, into a one-of-a-kind retreat.
From Nuclear Bunker to Luxury Lair
The silo, known as Titan II, was part of the US’s Cold War arsenal, built in the 1960s to house nuclear missiles during a potential nuclear conflict. After the US and Russia signed the SALT II treaty in 1979, the silo was decommissioned and left abandoned for decades. But GT Hill, a tech marketing expert and would-be visionary, saw an opportunity to transform this underground lair into a luxurious escape from the world above.
From Survival to Luxury
In 2010, GT Hill purchased the silo for $90,000 and spent 10 years and $800,000 converting it into a unique luxury space. With no walls or doors, the original functional design features a king-sized bed, a massive entertainment space, and even a nightclub. The result is a space that’s part bunker, part luxury suite, and part playground.
Exclusive Guests, Unseen Worlds
The silo’s unique features don’t go unnoticed. Influencers, authors, and even acrobats have stayed at the silo, drawn by its unparalleled secrecy and exclusivity. The silo has hosted a range of events, from charity functions to private parties, and even the occasional explicit gathering. With no mobile signal and no indication of time, it’s the perfect place to disconnect from the world and focus on your own desires.
A Complicated Investment, A Lasting Impact
While the silo’s conversion has been a financial challenge, GT Hill’s investment has become an integral part of his identity and a reflection of his boundless creativity. With plans for further renovations and new experiences, this 1960s Cold War relic is now a beacon of innovative hospitality, offering the ultimate in exclusivity and discretion. Book your stay at the world’s most unusual luxury retreat, if you can afford it.
