Designers unveil plans for $555m luxury hotel built into the side of a quarry
For most hotels the key selling point is a room with a view, particularly if it towers over a bustling cityscape or sprawling countryside.
But designers behind this new luxury resort have gone in the completely opposite direction to attract customers - by creating a 'groundscraper' hotel built 16 floors beneath the earth's surface.
The hugely ambitious underground hotel project will see a 19-storey, 380-room structure chiselled out of a giant quarry in Songjiang, near Shanghai. Designers have set aside a site about 30 miles from the city of Shanghai, in an abandoned quarry at the foot of Tianmashan Mountain.
While towering skyscrapers boast of rooftop restaurants and penthouse luxury, the InterContinental Shimao Shanghai Wonderland's bottom two floors will include an underwater restaurant, athletic complex for water sports and 10-metre deep aquarium.
