Floating hotel

Abstract

The invention discloses a floating hotel (an on-water building), and especially a large, multi-functional, submergible star-rated hotel (or an on-water business mansion) that is capable of floating on water. It includes one or more cylindrical floating boxes connected to each other, multiple channels, a scenery tower, and an anchor moored positioning device, the anchor moored positioning device is disposed at the bottom of the floating box, the channel is disposed on one side of the floating box, the scenery tower is disposed on a deck at the top of the floating box, and the floating box has multiple storeys and hotel facilities disposed therein. The invention features good novelty, landscape, applicability, and hydrophilicity, outstanding ocean sceneries, mobility (cruising ability), submergibility, and no land occupation. Various activities such as living, catering, entertainment, dining, culture, conference, and so on can be held in the floating box, and commuters and supply boats can stop all around the hotel. In fact, the invention relates to a special on-water business hotel featuring a grand scale and complete functionalities.
