The American "CNN" network, in a report, today, Sunday, shed light on the floating hotel that Qatar intends to establish, as it is characterized by its unique design that complies with the requirements of the sustainable environment.
The report emphasized that the Qatari hotel, designed by the Turkish team "HAADS", is superior to other designs when it comes to environmental awareness.
This luxury hotel, which has 152 rooms, not only generates its own electricity, but also collects and reuses rainwater and food waste.
The hotel's design team worked with several experts, including shipbuilding engineers and architects, to design the project, which has been working on it since March 2020.
The floating structure of the hotel will operate in a similar way to a "dynamo" generator, and will use water current, with wind turbines, and tidal force as it rotates, converting energy into electricity.
The hotel's movement will be controlled by dynamic positioning, a computer-controlled system used to maintain the position and direction of ships, as well as propellers and propellers.
Guests are less likely to feel dizzy, as it takes 24 hours for the hotel to complete a full 360-degree turn.
If the hotel is completed, it will initially be based in Qatar, yet the project can be located anywhere thanks to its transportable feature, according to the designers.
The structure occupies an area of more than 35,000 square meters and can be accessed via a floating dock connected to the mainland, helicopter or boat.
Facilities include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a spa, a gymnasium, and a mini golf course.
The hotel's stunning roof is designed to simulate the shape of a whirlpool to collect rainwater that will be reused for various purposes, including irrigation.
The project is still in the relatively early stages of the design process, and there is no estimated price for it yet, however the team has set a date for completion, which is in 2025.
Despite the delays that have already occurred due to the emerging corona virus (Covid-19) pandemic, and the technological research required to move forward, designers confirmed that they receive great interest from investors.
One of the factors that the team works on is the logistical aspect, which may be necessary in the face of the possibility of having to move the hotel to shore in the event of encountering "technical malfunctions" related to energy, or communication while on the water.
