9 Outrageous Luxury Hotels Opening Soon-title

So, you think you’ve seen all that luxury has to offer, have you? Well, prepare yourself, because the future is indeed going to be a brave new world. Hoteliers around the world are rapidly preparing, and in some cases finishing construction on, the most outrageous luxury hotels you’ve ever seen. And they’re not just big buildings outfitted with luxury amenities; these hotels look like something that would be right at home in a science fiction movie about the very distant future.

We’re talking about hotels that are entirely submerged underwater. We’re talking about hotels that aren’t even technically buildings, that are instead floating islands with detachable catamaran rooms. We’re talking about buildings built into the sides of disused quarries. We’re talking about buildings that contort into shapes we didn’t even know existed!

Seriously, the luxury hotels of the future are some truly strange places! That’s why we’ve decided to collect the most outlandish of them in this list. So take a look at the 9 hotels that follow and then decide for yourself: Which one of these hotels looks like it’s a made-up piece of fiction instead of an imminent reality. (Hint: It’s all of them…)
