Parisian Floating Hotels

This Hotel on Water Will Be Towed into Place Next to the Notre-Dame

— November 12, 2015 — Art & Design
To add to its collection of stunning hotels and luxury boutiques, Paris is set to present an incredible hotel on water by the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral. The floating hotel will have 54 rooms and a swimming pool, with a restaurant and bar on board as well.

People who stay will be rocked gently to sleep, without too much movement as the structure is floating in the same place and not rushing down the River Seine. Next to the historic Charles de Gaulle bridge, the floating hotel will be home to many spectacular views of the city.

The hotel on water is a collaboration between a hotel chain, Elegancia and an eco-friendly floating surface company, Citysurfing. The structure is being built in Normandy and will be drifting over, towed by boat, within the month.
Trend Themes
1. Floating Hotels - The development of floating hotels presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the hospitality industry, providing unique and immersive experiences for guests.
2. Eco-friendly Structures - The collaboration between hotel chains and eco-friendly floating surface companies opens up possibilities for sustainable and environmentally conscious architecture in various industries.
3. Destination Immersion - By offering hotels in unique locations, such as next to iconic landmarks, the hospitality industry can tap into the trend of destination immersion, providing travelers with unforgettable experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - The concept of floating hotels disrupts the traditional hotel industry, offering a new and innovative way for travelers to experience accommodation.
2. Architecture and Construction - The development of eco-friendly floating structures presents an opportunity for the architecture and construction industry to explore new methods and materials for sustainable building practices.
3. Tourism - The introduction of hotels in unique and iconic locations contributes to the tourism sector's ability to attract and engage travelers seeking immersive and memorable experiences.
