Futuristic Luxury Hotels




Futuristic Luxury Hotels;
some just a concept others, a realityThere are many categories of hotels present in the world today. From the Business hotels to the Budget ones, each of them try to offer their clients something that will want them to come back again. Featured here are hotels that are being made with only one main base- their unique location and design. Some of them are just concepts but others are shaping out to become truly futuristic. Water and space are two elements that have taken the fancy of the developers, as you will notice, most of the hotels are either situated below the sea or above the earth!8 The Apeiron island hotelThis seven star hotel is still in its conceptual stage. It is $500million project that is being designed by Sybarite. This island hotel will have a total floor area of 200,000m². With over 350 luxury apartment suites, the hotel will be accessible by water (yacht) and air (helicopter) only. ‘Apeiron’ hotel gets its name from Anaximander’s 6th century BC cosmological theory. He believed the beginning of time to be an endless, unlimited mass, subject to neither old age nor decay; perpetually yielding fresh materials from which everything we can perceive are derived. Private lagoon, beaches, restaurants, art gallery, retail shopping, cinemas, spas and conference facilities will be there for you to enjoy.7 Foldable hotel podsA foldable pod on stilts which can be set down in remote locations, now that’s a pleasant thought! The Foldable hotel pods will be self-sustainable, and you can even choose the images you want to be projected on the walls. And when you tire of that spot, just fold the pod and take it to the next hotspot! Designed by m3 Architects, London, the pods would cost between $72 to $104 million to build.6 WaterworldStill in its conceptual stage, the Waterworld (not the Kevin Costner film), is designed by Atkin’s Architecture Group. It won the first prize award for an international design competition with this stunning entry. To be built at magnificent water filled quarry in Songjiang, China, the 400-bed resort hotel will feature underwater public areas and guest rooms, cafes, restaurants and sporting facilities. “Extreme sports center for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping, which will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from the water” has been included in the design.
