SHANGRALA'S

FLOATING HOTEL!


IMAGINE TRAVELING AROUND THE
WORLD ON A FLOATING HOTEL!
Shangrala's Flying Hotel
      French designer, Jean-Marie Massaud, has been working in conjunction with the French National Office of Airship Research on the project since 2005. The airship is a floating hotel called the Manned Cloud.
      It will cruise at a speed of 80 mph (130 km/h) and 18,000ft above sea level. It could circle the earth in about ten days. It will travel for 3,100 miles (almost 5,000 km) before needing to be refueled.

Shangrala's Flying Hotel
      It is an ecologically friendly way to travel, leaving little impact on the environment without the need for hotels, according to the promoters. It could land for a few days or for a week if there is a big event going on.

Shangrala's Flying Hotel
      The airship is powered by a giant rear propeller and also has two further engines pointing downwards for vertical take-off.

Shangrala's Flying Hotel
      It has a restaurant, a library, a lounge and a gym on the first deck. On the second level there will be 20 passenger rooms, terraces with panoramic windows, a spa and a bar room.

Shangrala's Flying Hotel
      The whale-shaped airship, developed with French national aerospace research body ONERA, is almost 700ft long, 270ft wide and 170ft deep. Designed for leisure and luxurious travel, however, if you're thinking of checking in, you'll have to wait until its expected launch in 2020.
