It’s Baack... New Underwater Hotel in Dubai Announced (Again!)

Well, call us eternally optimistic, but once again it’s been announced that an underwater hotel is to be built off the coast of Dubai and we hope, that this time, it’s for real.

Designed by Poland-based firm, Deep Ocean Technology, the “Water Discus Hotel” is space-age good. Two discs comprise the main part of the hotel, connected by three vertical legs and a shaft that holds the elevator and stairs. One disc rises above the water and the other is submerged below.

Above water, the hotel contains the lobby, restaurant, spa and pools, and below are 21 luxurious rooms, a dive center and a bar, giving a whole new meaning to the term “wet bar.”

Completion dates have not yet been announced, nor anticipated room rates, but we'll keep you posted. Or maybe not. We wouldn't be surprised if this planned hotel also floats away in the deep dark unknown.

I want to go to there. Maybe.

Part of me is aching to try this. The other part knows I'd probably not get a wink of sleep I'd be so panicked. I bailed on Jules' Undersea Lodge for fear of a leak. Though the views here seem so amazing--who would want to sleep?

Excited!

Wow! I wish it could be built for real one day, I'd bring my wife without telling her what's so special about the hotel, she's afraid of fishes and a little claustrophobic ^^
Also it would be a great professional opportunity.
