Looking for a soundproof/lightproof hotel/motel/resort

My brother is getting married and mentioned to me a while back about a honeymoon place somewhere where it was totally lightproof/soundproof. He said that it was like a round building divided into "pie shaped" rooms. Possibly might be in the Poconos area, but now sure. I would like to find out a place like this to give him as a wedding gift. Any place in the United Staes that fits criteria would be helpful. I tried search the web, but to no avail.

Brookstone makes an eyemask that was developed for astronauts to use in space to block out all light while they sleep. Earplugs are cheap and they work well.

That's just were he said he would like to spend his honeymoon, but he doesn't remember the name of the place or the location. He had heard about it from a friend a few years back. Thought I would be the nice sister and find it for him and my new sister-in-law to be.

I did a web search for "round hotel with pie shaped rooms" & came up with a mention of the Westin Peachtree hotel in Atlanta. It has 73 stories with 15 pie shaped rooms per floor.

Possibly in Syracuse, NY? The Marx Hotel and Conference Center is a round building and has pie shaped rooms.

Found a link for:
A U-shaped diner with oyster pie.
A hotel with heart shaped rooms and pecan pie.

"pie shaped" room:

Pie shaped dorm rooms at North Park U, Chicago.

Lots of hits for "pie shaped hotel room"

This is probably what you're looking for

Round beds, no windows, soundproof. I'd suggest checking with him first before buying the gift.

Has anyone asked the bride for her opinion about these accommodations?
