Concept Hotels

Recently it has been announced that plans for a hotel and leisure facility to be built in Dubai that is half submerged in the water and the rest towering above sea level is taking shape.

Amazingly, this is not the first of its kind. The Poseidon is a luxury underwater hotel and resort in the waters of the South Pacific Ocean surrounding Fiji. It offers panoramic ocean views from the clear acrylic pods that also serve as luxuriously decorated rooms. 

However this is not the only incredible and seemingly unfeasible idea for a hotel. The Ice Hotel in Swedish Lapland is an awe inspiring structure of ice and snow, the extreme architecture has to be rebuilt each winter. Their website advices on how to dress and sleep in the freezing temperatures, and with the possibility of seeing the northern lights the experience is once in a lifetime. 

From spectacular to the surreal, a French hotel is offering its guest the experience of living like a rodent in its Hamster hotel...
