amazing architecture of the world : UNDERWATER HOTEL

UNBELIEVABLE UNDERWATER HOTEL IN DUBAI… 21 STORIES DEEP

The disc, located up to 10 metres beneath the surface of the sea, is composed of 21 hotel rooms adjacent to the underwater dive centre and a bar. Each room is integrated with the underwater world as closely as possible, offering a surprisingly direct, yet safe contact with the local flora and fauna.

Special lighting system of the area around the room and the miniature underwater vehicles which can be operated from inside will allow you to take a closer look at even the most microscopic underwater creatures using macro photography. We also ensure that our guests can protect their privacy whenever necessary. All rooms are sound-proof and have curtains of different levels of transparency. Read more [ via : enpundit ]

Burj Al Arab is the tallest hotel in the world (321 meters or 1,053 ft) and characterizes itself as the world’s only “7-star” property. It was built in 1999 and resembles the sail of a boat.

The hotel cost $650 million to build. The cost of staying in a suite begins at $1,000 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, at $28,000 per night.

Burj Dubai – the tallest building in the world

The largest and most famous construction project currently taking place in Dubai is of course the Burj Dubai. Opening in 2009, the Burj Dubai is a super duper tall skyscraper set to be the tallest in the world (818 meters or 2,684 ft). Currently it is the tallest man-made structure on Earth but Burj Dubai will not officially gain the title of tallest building in the world until its completion in 2009.

Banyan Tree Samui Luxury Hotel & Resort architecture

Just half an hour away from Samui International Airport lies one of Thailand’s most beautiful resorts, the Banyan Tree Samui. 78 cliff side villas are nestled nicely into the lush green trees, all with wonderful water views found throughout the living space.

The area is most commonly known for being the home to the region’s largest Hydrotherapy Spa. Guests can choose from plenty of different relaxing activities to partake in which consist of Yoga lessons, reading in the library, enjoying The Edge international food restaurant, or even taking a dip in the private pool that accompanies each of the villas. If you prefer to be a bit more social, there is also a large common pool located on the resort as well.

Amazing Pool , Marina Bay Sand Hotel in Singapore

singapore - the tallest hotel in the world

If you would have no problems crossing the Glass Pavement Built on 4,690ft Mountain in China we’ve featured earlier, then you should try swimming in the Marina Bay Sand Hotel’s infinity pool.

Located along the Marina Bay waterfront, Marina Bay Sands features three cascading hotel towers topped by an extraordinary sky park. At the top of the 55-storey hotel is a 150-meter infinity swimming pool, the world’s largest outdoor pool at that height. Perched 191 metres above the ground, the pools are made up of 422,000 pounds of stainless steel and can hold 376,500 gallons (1424 cubic metres) of water.
With over 2,500 rooms and suites, Marina Bay Sand is currently the biggest hotel in Singapore.

TIANZI HOTEL - WEIRDEST HOTEL IN CHINA

Located in Hebei province, China, the Tianzi Hotel was built sometime in the 2000-2001 period. It is a ten-story high representation of Fu Lu Shou (good fortune, prosperity and longevity) that apparently holds the Guinness World Record for the “biggest image building” whatever that means.
You probably won’t find much more info about the Tianzi Hotel on English websites. Don’t know if it will help, but it’s also known as The Emperor Hotel and Son of Heaven Hotel.

modern architecture : in San Francisco

The Streets series by photographer Leigh Merrill perfectly captures the often unexpectedly suburban architecture of San Francisco, a city that—away from its famed Victorian houses and its picturesque skylinecan be relentlessly dull. The featureless white skies of that peninsular metropolis and the anemic pastels of its painted stucco facades always seem strangely out of synch with the city's otherwise vibrant human atmosphere.
