Deep Sea News, which informed us of the $78 million personal luxury submarine (which I expect to receive gift-wrapped on my porch come July), points us to a new article up about top places to take it, such as a man-made island in the middle of the ocean. Because what’s a luxury personal submarine without somewhere to go with it, right?
The article is titled World’s Top 10 Futuristic Luxury Hotels. Let me highlight where I will be taking my Pheonix 1000 luxury sub:
A hotel on its own island in the middle of the ocean. You can only get there via plane, boat or luxury sub.
Self-contained hotel pods on stilts that can be folded and taken anywhere there is water, just like my submarine. My head hurts just thinking about that. I’m not sure how these things work; not enough detail in the article, unfortunately.
6. The Poseidon Undersea Resort
In Fiji, this will be the world’s only underwater resort, with breathtaking coral reefs you can view from the windows. I’ll be able to drive right in!
5. The Hydropolis: A self-acclaimed 10-star underwater hotel
This one, in Dubai, is a truly mammoth-sized project. It features, among other things, its own missile defense system, so anyone planning on breaking into my sub can forget about it.
Apart from that, the article highlights some hotels based in outer space that I doubt will ever be built. Not that I care anyway; I mean, how would I get my sub into space?
NO PLACES LEFT FOR TREES TO HIDE: Robots exist that can harvest timber from submerged forests 200ft below the surface.

Markk, when we get OUR sub, I’m with you - any of these look OK, but the Fijian underwater hotel is winning so far!
How are you going saving for your half of the deposit?
BTW - every hotel we stay at SHOULD have a missle defence system. Let’s face it , with your own luxury sub, you can never be too careful…

The Apeiron is a stunning building. I’d love to see that one built, but I don’t know if I could handle the helicopter rides…

themolk, I still have some money to raise. A truly evil fundraising idea is required, I think.
The Apeiron does look spectacular. Unfotunately, not much info on the site on expected completion date or the current status of the project.

Looks splendid, like the kind of these buildings that were protrait in fantasy art of the 70’s, aka the “life in the year 2000″

The pics remind me of the Jetsons a bit; now all we need is the flying cars …
