Grand-scale hotels are being erected in many parts of the world, especially in areas where space is plentiful and the land conditions are attracting many guests. Designed with the most innovative structures possible, most of these hotels sit strong on deep, land-based foundations. However, there is one hotel that is not part of that streak: The
Sunborn Yacht Hotel allows customers to experience hotel-level luxury accommodation in a floating venue. This ‘superyacht’ is a permanently moored vessel whose groundbreaking features may serve as the blueprint for future architectural plans in land-scarce cities across the planet.
The massive 142-meter superyacht, originally built in Malaysia, will be attached to the dock via six massive hydraulic arms and will rest its anchor in the Ocean Village Marina of Gibraltar—a tiny peninsula located off the southernmost tip of Spain.
Comprised of 189 rooms, a spa, gym, cocktail lounges, conference halls, and a ballroom, the luxury liner is the newest addition to the ever-changing, aesthetically improving seafront scenery of the Mediterranean.
Like other equally small but affluent coastal cities—particularly Monaco, Hong Kong, and Singapore—Gibraltar is a popular tourist hub with a booming economy, yet it is in dire paucity of space to accommodate large-scale urban development.
Apart from the state-of-the-art hotel, which will be open to the public by the end of the year, Gibraltar also offers other amenities that any tourist would love to experience. These include crystal-clear beaches, water sports, ancient limestone caves, nature reserves, botanical gardens, and panoramic vistas from the peak of the Rock.
