If you would like to swim in the clouds, a hotel is offering a swimming pool just for you.
Holiday Inn in Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao has a swimming pool with an exceptional view, as the picture shows.
Part of the indoor pool, which sits above the 24-story hotel, stands in the main building and part is suspended the air. The floor of the pool is constructed of tempered glass.
This gives customers a feeling deliriously swimming in the sky, where swimmers could see clearly down the street, while passers in Xiuyan Lu Street can see the swimmers above.
"I felt like I was flying in the sky, I could also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Pudong from here, this is so great and wonderful," said a swimmer at the hotel.
"We wanted to offer our guests a unique experience to swim, and make them feel they are on vacation, even in a bustling city," said a spokesman for InterContinental Hotels Group, parent company of Holiday Inn.
While not splashing in the water, guests can enjoy views of the city of Pudong stretched to the horizon of Lujiazui in the lounge by the pool.
Please tell me that's not the Holiday Inn we know and hate in the UK! There's no way they'd invest in something like this, unless it's completely different in Shanghai...
ReplyDeleteI spoke to falconpools.co.uk a year or so ago about designing a glass floored swimming pool which would slightly overhang the lip of our decking in our garden, we may revisit that project soon.
Personally i think the ''pool in the sky'' idea is cool... Everyday the world is advancing,new improvements,so please do revisit your project.......thanks!
