Greatest Luxury Hotels Opening Soon

Luxury hotels are springing up virtually left, right and center these days. With people willing to splurge huge sums of money to stay in real style, hoteliers too are setting higher standards of luxury and hospitality. From building hotels in the midst of the sea to even undersea hotels, almost every possible concept is being given serious thought by them. With rapidly advancing construction technology to aid them in their dreams, some of the most myriad designs and mind-boggling buildings these days can be seen in the form of luxury hotels.

If one were to make a list of the greatest luxury hotels under development, it would definitely include some extraordinary designs. Take for example the Poseiden undersea resort that is opening in Fiji. This property is actually built up from the sea. As a guest you can literally be one among the beautiful coral reefs. The luxurious resort is going to have over 500 luxuriously large suites when completed.

Another luxury hotel which is again carrying great expectations is the Cassa in New York City. This hotel will rise up to 46 stories when complete and will offer spectacular views of Midtown Manhattan. The Scandinavian architecture, complete with a terrace and garden courtyard would be a sight to behold when complete. Talking about New York, one can also pretty soon see the completion of the renovated Mark Hotel. Once opened, this hotel is going to be the most luxurious in New York.

Availability of cutting edge technology and funding sources has meant that hoteliers are coming up with incredible ideas to attract guests these days. One of the best examples for this can be found in the Water World Hotel, which is fast nearing completion in Beijing,. This 400 room hotel features a range of cafes, restaurants and public areas. Designed by the famous Atkin’s architecture group, guests will also feel close to nature here with its vast water theme park complete with facilities for bungee jumping and rock climbing. Designers have taken care to incorporate cascading waterfalls and water ways into the architecture of this marvelous hotel, making it one of the greatest luxury hotels to open soon.

Another spectacular hotel that is going to be completed soon is the Hydropolis Undersea Hotel in Dubai. The property extends across a whopping 1 million square foot. Guests will have access to exclusive island villas, suites, shopping malls and a live entertainment center, to mention only a few amenities. In fact, guests will also have a missile defense system for their personal security when staying in one of the underwater guestrooms here. When completed, the entire property would be roughly of the size of London’s Hyde Park.

Something similar to the Hydropolis Undersea Hotel is under development in neighboring Abu Dhabi. The Diamond Ring Hotel, when completed, is expected to be one of the greatest luxury hotels in the whole world. The unique modern architecture is expected to make this hotel on par with the city of Abu Dhabi, once completed.
