The most expensive hotel in history? The room rate is as high as 350 pounds per night.
In 2004, the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi opened, with an estimated cost of 2 billion pounds. It was once the most expensive hotel in the world. Today, Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore has won this title with a series of architectural facilities such as indoor canals, hanging gardens, elegant works of art, casinos, theaters, crystal exhibition halls and lotus-shaped museums costing 4 billion pounds.
Marina Bay Sands Hotel is designed by Safdie, a master architect, according to the shapes of playing cards, with novel and unique shapes. Due to the complexity of the building, the whole project lasted for 4 years. At the opening ceremony, a reporter asked why he chose this shape in the first place. Marina bay explained that in view of the vast area of this entertainment city, if they are connected together, it would be tantamount to erecting a high wall on the beautiful seashore to isolate the city from the sea scenery, which is not a landscape in itself. Nowadays, this design conforms to its theme, has functional distribution, looks smart, blends with the surrounding landscape, and achieves a new pleasing landmark.
Marina bay Jinsha Resort Hotel * * * has 2560 rooms, and the room rate is as high as 350 pounds per night. Among them, there are 250 luxurious rooms, a large commercial center, a conference building, two theaters, an ultra-modern museum, and many restaurants and bars. Walking into the resort hotel, shoppers can take a small wooden boat built according to the traditional boat style of China17th century to play in the indoor canal. This design will naturally remind people of Venetians who also invested in Las Vegas Sands Group.
In addition to the ultra-luxurious supporting facilities, the hotel also commissioned five world-renowned artists to design works of art that can be integrated into the whole resort hotel, which increased the gold content and artistic taste of the hotel. Among them, by antony gormley (Anthony? Gormley's giant sculpture is the most representative. This project is 40 meters long and consists of 16 100 steel tie rods with a total weight of 14.8 tons. It was installed in the hotel by 60 workers. Chinese-American artist Zheng Chongbin (Rising? Forest) consists of 83 3-meter-high basin-shaped structures, which are full of trees. Because these pots are very big, Zheng can only build a special kiln the size of a small building to burn them.
Amazing open-air platform
340-meter-long hanging garden
The 340-meter-long open-air platform of Binhai Bay Jinsha Hotel, which is as big as three football fields, is located at the top of the three main buildings and connected into a whole, with a height of 200 meters in the air, becoming a super-large "hanging garden". ? The huge open-air platform can accommodate 3,900 tourists, and the green coverage area is 1.24 million square meters, including 250 kinds of trees and 650 kinds of plants. It is really like being in heaven. The observation deck with one end extending outward is the largest public hanging place in the world. The hotel is facing the financial center of Singapore, so this hanging garden has also become an excellent foothold for a bird's eye view of Singapore's charming landscape, just like the top of Shanghai Shimao.
You can choose a delicious food here, two drinks, overlooking Singapore, or swimming in the high-altitude swimming pool, which are all unusual enjoyment. At present, the one-time admission fee is S $20 (about 100 RMB), including the swimming pool use fee.
The biggest aerial swimming pool in history? Swimming on the edge of the world
This swimming pool is built on the top floor of the 55th floor tower of Marina Bay Jinsha Hotel. It is 65,438+050m long, three times the length of the Olympic swimming pool and 650ft (65,438+098m) high. It is the largest outdoor swimming pool in the world at this height. The special design of the swimming pool makes the water seem to extend to the edge of the view, but in fact, the edge of the swimming pool is designed to be a few centimeters below the water surface, and the spilled water will flow into a collection pool below and then be pumped back to the swimming pool. It has two circulatory systems. The first set is like the function of a traditional swimming pool, which filters and heats the water in the main pool, and the second set filters and collects the water in the pool and sends it back to the upper pool. It is said that this design was inspired by the rice terraces in Bali, Indonesia. This step-by-step design idea is quite common in luxury resort hotels such as Marina Bay Jinsha Hotel. "marina bay Sands will be the fulcrum of the explosive development of Singapore's tourism industry," gaming tycoon Sheldon Adelson said at the opening ceremony that day. He is the chairman of Las Vegas Sands Group, the parent company of the resort.
The outdoor swimming pool is actually just a gorgeous boat-shaped "Sky garden" (sky? Park is one of the characteristic landscapes. In addition, you can also choose to enjoy the charming spa at high altitude.
