I remember as a kid only seeing these kind of places in sci-fi movies and cartoons. Now it’s a reality as Dubai will soon begin construction of a hotel with submerged, underwater rooms. The design is by Deep Ocean Technology and named the Water Discus Hotel
The building will be the first of several in the emirate and will feature an underwater section of 21 rooms, a dive center and bar up to 10 meters below the sea’s surface. A unique lighting system will illuminate the scene outside the submerged rooms’ windows while macro photography will also allows guests to zoom in on the surroundings for a better view. With the above-water portions of the hotel suspended high enough to avoid tsunamis and flooding, the underwater disc is engineered to surface in the event of a storm or other danger.
