Luxury travel is among the activities millennials enjoy nowadays. With the growing competition in the hotel and accommodation market, the rise of new, exciting and interesting places to stay in arise. An underwater hotel may soon be on the rise, giving way to the possibility of staying and sleeping in submerged rooms.
Fox News reports that with just $3 million, a single submerged guest room that comes with an elevator and a support vessel can be built. This innovative idea from Planet Ocean Underwater Hotel Director Tony Webb has already received a U.S. Patent. Hotel guests can experience sleeping 30 feet below the surface of the ocean with full visibility of the water.
Webb further described the majestic experience. Scuba diving, snorkeling and hookah can be enjoyed right at the comfort and security of the hotel.
Earlier concepts of an underwater hotel have been made available, just like the hotel located at the Jules Undersea Lodge. However, the new innovative design by Webb will not require guests to be in scuba gears, making the adventure even more exhilarating.
The hotel rooms will also be movable and modular, allowing them to be transferred in case of hurricanes and other nature disturbances, as described by Stuff. Sinking risks will also be diminished with the floatation bags installed at the outfitting of the hotel pods.
This more affordable variant of the underwater hotel room is $1000 cheaper per night compared with competitors like the Poseidon Undersea Resorts and the Atlantis at the Palm Dubai. A king-sized bed, personal bath, Internet access and a panoramic window made of acrylic will also be featured in the hotel pod. The hotel with 12 pods will roughly be around $20 million to build. However, a specific timeline remains unavailable.
