There are hundreds thousands of hotels in the world, that offer standard service packages for any taste and “pocket”. But the uniqueness of the future hotels is not in accommodation prices so called “beyond the clouds”, but in the uncommonness of design and placement. You cannot surprise anyone with an hotel with luxurious decoration of the suits with the view on ocean. Amateurs of voyages de luxe are looking for extravagant forms and non-trivial locations. The hotels of the future are not on the earth, they are hidden deeply into the ocean, in space and they are in the clouds above mega polices.
On the water: Apeiron project of Sibarite Architecture Bureau is only in the development stage, but still there are too much noise about it. This hotel – island is planned with the total area of 200.000 square meters. It is supposed that 350 suits de luxe would be served with helicopters and each tenant would have its own yacht at his disposal. The hotel’s name originates from cosmological theory of the VI century B.C., called Anaximander, which said that there would no old age, poverty, diseases, wars and hunger in the ideal world. The private beaches, restaurants, galleries, shops, cinemas and swimming pools will be available for all hotel’s guests. The cost of “paradise” project is about $ 500 millions. You can already book your suit at the official web-site of the hotel.
The philosophy of Foldable hotels is simple. The holder chooses the location place, agrees with the authorities and in the shortened terms he constructs the building in any place he deems necessary, on any complicated surface, and afterwards he disassembles it in the same manner and moves to another location. For example, first you can establish an hotel on the island, and then you can place it in aquatorium of wide river. The approximate cost of “transferable” hotel ranges from $72 till 150 millions.
The Waterworld hotel is only in the development stage, and Atkin’s Architecture Group Bureau was already awarded the first price at the International Contest of Architectural Projects in Shanghai. The underwater hotel will be constructed in China. The building is designated for 200 suits, for about 400 beds. The dwellers of this unusual establishment will have the possibility to drive mini-submarine boat, to taste delicious fresh fish in the local restaurant, who swims in the ocean behind illuminator’s glass, and to go water ski on the ocean surface. The building will be built in two elements: one part will be on the earth and another one will be under water.
One more underwater masterpiece is Hydropolis Undersea Resort, planned to be built in Dubai. The hotel will be 60% undersea and in the meantime it will allow its dwellers to admire the starry sky through the roof – atrium. The project price is $ 550 millions. One interesting fact is that the hotel will be equipped with air defense system.
On the earth: How do you think, where will be situated Lunatic Hotel? Right! On the surface of Moon!

The hotel will look like as an inclined narrow tower 160 meters high. The creators confirm that facing 50 cm. thick will protect the hotel guests from harmful solar energy and meteorite torrents.
