The world’s first luxury underwater hotel – Hydropolis Underwater Hotel, Dubai, UAE
Currently under construction in Dubai, Hydropolis is the world’s first luxury underwater hotel. It will include three elements: the land station, where guests will be welcomed, the connecting tunnel, which will transport people by train to the main area of the hotel, and the 220 suites within the submarine leisure complex. It is one of the largest contemporary construction projects in the world, covering an area of 260 hectares, about the size of London’s Hyde Park
 |
| In order to enter this surreal space, visitors will begin at the land station. This 120m woven, semicircular cylinder will arch over a multi-storey building. |
||
|
| Hydropolis is about to take shape 20m below the surface of the Arabian Gulf, just off the Jumeirah Beach. The land belongs to His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, and was his last free beach property on this stretch of coast. |
||
|
| Hauser plans to incorporate many different elements associated with the sea. He views his creation as a place where those who do not dive – or do not even swim - can experience the tranquillity and inspiration of the underwater world. |
||
|
| The upper storeys of the land station house a variety of facilities, including a cosmetic surgical clinic, a marine biological research laboratory and conference facilities. |

[...] as a junior creative … as my job title should became, I am in a continuous search for innovation, for new stuff and spectacular cool projects, this including architectural projects, lighting and technological innovations, that could successfully be used in advertising campaigns for our clients. This is how I have found it: “Dubai :The Ice bar, Middle East’s first ice lounge“, and afterwards “The world’s first luxury underwater hotel – Hydropolis Underwater Hotel, Dubai, UAE“ [...]
