SHANGRALA'S
AWESOME
HOTEL
QUARRY
RESORT!
Welcome! Come on in! How would You like to stay at this awesome resort in China?
Atkins won an international design competition to design a five-star resort hotel
set within a beautiful water-filled quarry in the Songjiang district close to
Shanghai in China.
The 400-bed resort hotel stands two levels higher than the rock face of the 100 metre
deep quarry and includes underwater public areas and guestrooms. It will incorporate
conference facilities for up to 1,000 people, a banqueting centre, restaurants, cafés
and sports facilities.
An aquatic theme runs through the design both visually and functionally. Two underwater
levels will house a restaurant and guestrooms facing a ten-metre deep aquarium. The
lowest level of the hotel will contain a leisure complex with a swimming pool and
water-based sports. An extreme sports centre for activities such as rock climbing and
bungee jumping will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from
the water level of the hotel.
Apart from its awesome beauty, the other distinction of this hotel is its environmental
cred, including green roofing and geothermal energy extraction -- sustainability is integral
to the design.

This Swank Five-Star Resort Is Expected To Be Open May Of 2009.
