Ark Hotel, Changsha, China

The Coastal “Ark Hotel” Can Float Away When Sea Levels Rise

Five-star survival: The floating Ark hotel that will protect you against a Noah-style flood
Shell-shaped hotel would withstand tidal waves and other natural disasters
Daylight filtered through internal rooms to reduce need for lighting
It boasts light, airy rooms, plenty of greenery and no doubt the service would be five-star.

Russian architectural firm Remistudio has taken the concept of a man-made biosphere and gone to sea with its vision for the floating “Ark Hotel.” Designed to withstand floods, tidal waves and rising ocean levels as well as earthquakes and other natural disasters, the hotel concept would float and function independently on the surface of a body of water, providing a green, self-sustaining environment for guests who presumably, would never have to leave.

Changsha  is the capital and most populous city of Hunan province in south central China
