Spinning Croatian Hotel Will Have Best Views For Everybody

You know how they charge a bit more for the rooms with a good view? There's one way to solve this dilemma and get no complaints about it, although it's a pretty hi-tech solution: build a rotating hotel. That's exactly what they're planning in Croatia where some spinning accommodation will be built on olta Island, near the city of Split.
But don't worry, it's not turning at a rate likely to make you dizzy. The design has it rotating 1.3 times per day, barely fast enough to notice at all, and at the right pace so that if you stay a few days, you'll get a different view at all times of day. It will be just a three-storey hotel and there will be a central hub including the reception, stairs and elevator that won't rotate, so you won't have to look for the front door in a different place each time.
The hotel has been designed by Richard Hywel Evans (who has the resort design company RHE) but unfortunately they haven't released a start or finish date yet, or even explained exactly how this rotating technology will work. We hope they've thought about it though because we do rather like the idea and want to try it for ourselves sometime soon.
