Dubai Hydropolis Underwater Hotel- United Arab Emirates pictures


Under construction in Dubai, Hydropolis is the world's first luxury hotel water. It will consist of three elements: 1.The land station,2. where visitors are welcomed if they excavate, it is one of the greatest modern creation projects in the world and 3.wrapping an area of 260 hectares, about the size of London's Hyde Park.

Hydropolis is not a project, it is a passion, "eager Joachim Hauser, the developer and designer of the hotel. His vision is starting to take shape 20m below the surface of the Persian Gulf, expected to open in late 2007 and will include a number of innovations that will take it far beyond the original plan for an underwater complex worthy of Jules Verne.




"This venture could only be born here in Dubai," said Hauser. "It has a very open, the international community - and that's what makes it so special."

The original idea for Hydropolis developed by Hauser's passion for water and the sea, and goes much deeper than just building a hotel underwater.. "Humans consist of 80% water, the soil consists of 80% water, and no water is it is not life. "

Hydropolis reproduces the human organism in an architectural design. There is a direct analogy between the physiology of people and architecture. The geometrical element is a figure eight lying on its side and inscribed in a circle. Square created in the basin will contain function areas, such as restaurants, bars, meeting rooms and theme suites.

If you enter this surreal room, visitors will begin at ground station. This 120m woven, semicircular cylinder will arch over a multi-storey building. At the lowest level passengers board a noiseless train driven by fully-automated cable along a modular, self-supporting steel guideway to Hydropolis. A just-in-time and on-demand logistical system will facilitate efficient delivery of goods to the hotel.
