It was announced the construction of the first revolving hotel in Europe.
According to Gizmag site, the building will be the centerpiece of a new resort to be built near Split, the second largest city in Croatia, located on the Adriatic coast. The idea is to allow guests to have the views of the Adriatic from any hotel room. The new hotel, designed by a specialist in architecture resorts, Richard Hywel Evans, will be located on the island of Solta and rotates 1.3 times per day to provide a daily view of the bay for all guests.
The three-storey building will have 61 meters in diameter will be on a constant movement platform, which will circle a static center of 22 meters in diameter, which will be located in the reception area, stairs and elevators. The hotel entrance will be on the lower level of the building, below the pivotal area.
The building will be erected in the middle of a large artificial lake, seeming to float on it. The new resort will have a marina for 170 boats, a yacht club, villages and structure of a small town.
It was not give details about the technology used in the construction of the hotel, the costs involved, the date of inauguration and start of work.
