The New Sand Castle: Dubai’s Latest Luxury Towers Will Boast An Indoor Rainforest And Manmade Beach

Leave it to Dubai—land of pet lions, gold toilets and Lamborghini police cars—to build the world’s most decadent desert oasis.
Now rising in the city’s Al Thanyah district, the $550 million
Rosemont Hotel & Residences will be the first building on earth with
its own rainforest: a 75,000-square-foot jungle, complete with a splash
pool and cafe. The supersize terrarium will use only recycled water
collected from condensation and will feature a novel artificial
beach—one without sand.

The 1.1-million-square-foot complex centers on a pair of glass
skyscrapers—a 53-story hotel and a 55-story apartment building on Sheik
Zayed Road—atop a luxury retail space. Designed by ZAS Architects Dubai,
the development will have 448 hotel rooms and 280 furnished apartments,
including a 6,300-square-foot presidential pad with its own private
spa, sauna, Jacuzzi and swimming pool with waterfall feature. The suites
will be available for short- and long-term stays but not for purchase.

Expected to open in 2018, the resort will also have a cantilevered
infinity sky pool with a glass bottom, plus a bowling alley, a nightclub
and high-tech gaming entertainment. Perhaps the best part? Robotic
luggage handlers—which means you won’t even have to tip.
