Hydropolis Underwater Hotel opens this month

[neoprodigy]

The news in the air is that the world’s first luxury underwater hotel, the Hydropolis Undersea Resort, is all set to open its doors in Dubai this December. The £300 million, 220-suite hotel is a one of its kind resort, which will encompass a whopping 1.1-million-square-foot of area offering shopping mall, ballroom, island villas, restaurant, high-tech cinema and surprisingly, a missile-defense system for your security 60-feet underwater. Located 20m beneath the surface of the Arabian Gulf near the scenic Jumeirah Beach coastline, the underwater hotel offers 220 theme suites to the tourists within the submarine leisure complex. The resort is designed with a petal-like retracting roof to organize open-sky events.

They really need a missile defense system.... that's just a waste of resources.

Mang thats crazy! Would be a fairly sweet place to holiday. I wonder how much a room would be for the night if it's cost them 300 million pounds to build!!! How long do you think till they see a profit come back from the place?

In Dubai? They probably make 600 million dollars in less then a year. If a strong percentage of the hotel room costs are directed into Dubai's government funding, then the building will be payed off in half a decade to 12 years with my estimates.
