Says insiders:

Hydropolis will be the world’s first luxury underwater hotel. It will include three elements: the land station, where guests will be welcomed, the connecting tunnel, which will transport people by train to the main area of the hotel, and the 220 suites within the submarine leisure complex. It is one of the largest contemporary construction projects in the world, covering an area of 260 hectares, about the size of London’s Hyde Park.

The land on which it is being built is owned by his Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. When you first arrive, you arrive at a land station. A semicircular cylinder sits above the building below.

How many visitors will the hotel have?

“We are expecting around 3,000 visitors a day in addition to the hotel guests. The aim is to inspire people to develop a new awareness of the sea.”

Amazing!
