Dubai is no stranger to breaking records. First, they built the world's largest mall, then they built the world's tallest building... And now, if plans come to fruition, the emirate could become home to the world's largest underwater hotel.

The Water Discus hotel has been designed by Polish company Deep Ocean Technology (DOT) with the help of Swiss firm BIG InvestConsult AG. The hotel will comprise of two discs - one under the water, and one suspended above the water. The discs will be connected by five legs, and a vertical shaft in the centre housing stairs and a lift.

The underwater section will be up to 10 metres beneath the sea surface, and contain 21 double rooms adjacent to a dive centre and a bar. Each room has been designed to 'integrate with the underwater world as closely as possible'.

Due to the modular design of the hotel, the Water Discus can be transferred to a different place in case of environmental or economic concerns. The surface discs have been designed to be buoyant and detachable from the main structure, to act as lifeboats should any natural disaster strike.

All seems very 'Dr No' it sucks that this type of advanced technology / design always happens outside the United States though...

this is true. mad Philippinos there, and other asian people. Dubai has nice places. For the most part it is shit. very hot, very over rated. To far from the US for me to even care to go back to a place like that..

I wonder how they keep the radicals at bay in Dubai. Seems out of all the places that would be easy for them to hit westerners in their own back yard, it would be there.

MrBottomTooth · 01-28-2013, 03:41 AM

Why dont they worry about making proper sewer infrastructure instead of all this fancy stuff? Isnt this the place that has a convoy of shit-filled trucks lining the highways at certain times because they have no way of dealing with it? Also seen some celebrity say she was almost arrested there for hugging a man in public that she was not married to. Such a backwards place.

A famous starlet right now got $50k for hanging out with a dubian for a weekend.

EddyTheDog · 01-28-2013, 04:06 PM

As already said - Just a shame all the cool stuff is in Dubai. I don't fancy going there.

halfpint · 01-28-2013, 04:08 PM

yep some real cool stuff in Dubai for sure

sandman! · 01-28-2013, 04:30 PM

looks cool would love to visit it

SGS · 01-28-2013, 05:36 PM

The plans for that place have been on the go for many years. Dubai isn't even running at 50% occupancy at the moment so the last thing they need is more hotels.

For hotel to be profitable often its enough to have 30%+ occupancy.

Plus even if the city gets only 50% occupancy it does not mean this particular developer could not get 80% or more.

They need to build fancy shit otherwise nobody would come their for vacations and they need tourist to replace oil when it ends.

MaDalton · 01-28-2013, 06:04 PM

i prefer more fun places

Rico_TZ · 01-28-2013, 09:48 PM

One more place for the traveling whores to visit.

This is a really good point, there is supposedly places there that have absolutely no sewage drains or fresh water access.

They also admitted when they were building the one hotel that they should have probably built salt water conversion plants instead.

You have obviously never been to Dubai...

Colmike9 · 01-29-2013, 01:17 PM

People are abandoning their luxury cars because they can't pay the bill and going back to their original countries. Same thing will happen with the fancy buildings real soon..
