It looks beautiful and I’d love to spend a night there. I wonder if they’re going to build an artificial coral reef to give the spectacular views.

^ if they end up doing that I don’t think their business will last very long considering the view is what makes it amazing, I don’t think they will jeopardize their profits and murder the wildlife

Another stupid eco environment unfriendly idea and
a needless waste of energy and other valuable resources for the benefit of a few spoiled rich people.

aside from the fact that its parked in the middle of a coral reef, which will require hacking out a few chunks of coral to make space, that thing is going to be bright and noisy, and whether by intention or not leak waste and tourists are guaranteed to drop trash into the water.
plus the hotel is called “Water Discus”
maybe these “underwater scooter riders” will be able to offer these poor sea creatures a quick merciful death

Better in concept than real life depiction. If it’s that close to a major city as the background suggests any marine life won’t be sustained, especially with the abuse of tourists banging on glass, throwing stuff in the water, diving near them, etc. They’ll need to be constantly importing and re-growing coral unnatural to the area. Isn’t the future supposed to be full of sustainable design? Eco and ethical practices aside, it’s just good business practices to keep costs down.
What ever happened to just enjoying the beauty around us than wanting to pay $3000 to travel half way around the world in some super hotel that really blocks any of the true natural marvels in life.

It does look very pretty, but it also seems (with all the windows open) that there would not be any privacy!!. Someone could be swimming about and be all up in your business!!

TO ZACK
$3000 for “going around the world”, you must be traveling with the luggage in the belly of the plane. Having been in Dubai I can tell you that’s a place which is magical and why should not we enjoy it. There are no reef that close to shore. Don’t be jealous of those of us who can go and enjoy it, just think of what you should look forward in many parts of our World. Our World is wonderful and let’s accept it the way it is. I am very lucky to have traveled to 48 countries in 25 years and, as i go to those places, I do accept the way those people live, even though it’s, most of the time, not my way of living. In Dubai they have some wonderful things going on and let’s face it many people enjoy it. Let people be themselves and do what they want. ZACK relax, life can be very short, enjoy it while you are on this side of the grass.
