The five-star hotel that floats in the ocean

It looks as though we’re approaching a time where our accommodation itself can set sail!

London designer Gianluca Santosuosso has developed a concept for a futuristic floating hotel that will kind of work as a cross between a luxury hotel and a cruise ship.

Called the MORPHotel, this design consists of a linear, spinal structure composed of individually connected capsules and has the ability to adapt and move with ocean currents.

The hotel would be in constant motion across the ocean (albeit at a rate slower than an average boat) and offer guests ever-changing views from their rooms.

The hotel will be able to tie up at pods with a functional doc that can be attached to a city’s harbour and is designed to be as self-sustaining as possible with solar panels and a floating veggie garden.
