I Want to Stay in an Underwater Hotel

by admin on October 4th, 2006

The Business 2.0 blog points me to Jeff's entry on two forthcoming underwater hotels in Fiji and Dubai:

But these two dudes—Bruce Jones, the personal submarine designer, and German architect Joachim Hauser—have the look of serious contenders. Jones just announced that a private Fijiian island will be the home of his new undersea resort, called Poseidon (suite rendered at left). It was originally to be built somewhere in the Bahamas. Hauser, meanwhile, has a much bigger-scale project under construction in Dubai, called Hydropolis, where you can build anything as along as you pay for it and you have the blessing (and money) of the crown prince, which apparently Hauser does.

Sweet! I've just added another thing to my list of 100 things to do with my life. I can't wait.

I do wonder how they'll keep the outside of the hotel clean without, you know, totally spying on the guests.
