Hmmmm not sure this is all that romantic.

I slept in a theme hotel room where there was a HUGE fishtank overhead the bed. It was disconcerting mostly.

Cool to look at on the wall- not so much overhead while sleeping.

Futuristic in a speculative fiction sort of way, and beautiful, but not my cup of tea due to some early near-drownings.

Seems like it would be really claustrophobic too me and also dark.

Panicking from just looking at the picture.

Thanks for the candor. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one feeling a negative response despite its undeniable beauty.

I'm wondering if you can see other rooms from the room your in too. That might be a bit of a privacy concern...

Judging by the comments, I guess everyone's inner child has died away. Mine's still kickin' - This is totally awesome!

No!! Too creepy and scary....would be frightened out of my wits that the whole thing would collapse.

I absolutely love this and would stay there in a heartbeat.

As beautiful as it is, I couldn't do it. I would rather be in one of the huts above the water.

I think it's amazing. I do not like the water but I am always astonished by the glimpse of that great undersea world when I go to aquariums. I would stay for one night, definitely!

It's really cool and I'd go to the restaraunt, but I think sleeping there would be too scary.

This would make me feel like a mermaid. A very good thing :)

I've enjoyed walking through underwater transparent tunnels and probably would enjoy sleeping in the huts, but not sleeping underwater.

no

Stunning! But I could never relax enough to actually sleep, I get claustrophobic just thinking about snorkeling let alone sleeping in a glass tube (as beautiful as it is). I know a lot of people who would for sure enjoy this though.

Oh, I LOVE it.

Darling, it's better down where it's wetter; take it from me!
I swear I'd have that in my head the whole time!
Interesting!

Wow, that's so cool.

whoa! a nap or meal maybe but bot a whole vacation. my 2 yearold would probably adore this but never sleep because he'd be too excited being in nemo's house.

Why does this show up ever 6 months or so? Same stupid picture, same hotel that no one ever goes to...

Hyperventilating, just looking at the picture.

I agree with the previous comments -- I would love to visit the hotel during the day, go to its restaurant, etc, but I could never sleep there. Not all sea creatures are cute!

There's an underwater hotel in Florida, too, that you have to scuba dive to access: http://www.jul.com/

wouldn't you need to decompress after every night's sleep? I'm not sure how this actually works when you're sleeping at depth.

What a bunch of fraidy cats!
It's beautiful and exciting. but then, I can sleep anywhere.

I wouldn't just visit, I'd live there! Amazing :)

It's sad to see someone comment just to post something negative. The space is intriguing, but like any other aesthetic, is not for everyone.

Personally, I'd like it a lot for a night or two, but couldn't imagine living there.

This. Is. AWESOME.

couldnt sleep there, I'd be too anxious.. I love looking at it, but sleep? no

If people keep flying all the way across the world to go on holiday, the huts in the third picture will be underwater as well before long.

I have a hard time breathing just looking at it.

Very cool!
Gives new meaning to "sleeping with the fishes"

That's pretty cool. Also, I'm pretty sure you can see the water's surface in that picture, so you're only a few feet under water. I'd happily spend a day and night there, though I'd probably bump my head a few times. Then again, I do that on the sloping part of my bedroom ceiling at home.

I'd love it! And yeah, it only looks a few feet under. Absolutely beautiful. Some people who use this site need to relax a little bit... :-P

wow couldnt do it. As beautiful as it looks like and I love water viewing things like that. I wouldn't be able to quell the claustrophobic/water caving in sensation I get looking at the pics.

Hasn't anybody considered that this deep underwater there are no radio waves, micro-waves of any kind? It would be great for your body and helping have a break from free radicals. Mentally I would enjoy it as well. I am not claustrophobic or hydrophobic in any way. Bring it on!! We need something like this on our side of the pond.

love. adding this to my long list of reasons why i want to go to the maldives.

Beautiful. No way I could sleep there -- I have trouble sleeping in strange places that are totally boring, not stimulating like this, and not with that tiny anxious "will it leak" concern my subconscious would undoubtedly mutter about.)

However, it would make a fantastic dining space or meditation center. Truly gorgeous, but as a "bedroom", only if I didn't actually plan to sleep!

Couldn't open the window for fresh air! ;^)

@Dulcibella, thanks! So I am not the only neurotic! That's exactly how I felt when I saw the pic.

I love it because I think it's incredibly beautiful and I'm not claustrophobic at all BUT I would be worried about the engineering and thinking about whether it was going to break and drown me while I was sleeping.

I'm afraid I'd pee the bed.

My inner love of fish is definitely screaming that this is amazing!!! I would love this!

This is an automatic top 10 on my bucket list

Seems serene but not for me. I would be afraid of the roof caving in.

Wow... you people HAVE seen Jaws, right?

beautiful but i would be scared the glass would burst. maybe a tad bit irrational but what can you do?

It's not the impending threat of collapse, engulfment and ultimately drowning that would leave me ill at ease; but the fact that the eyes of a thousand strong shoal of fish would be watching me masturbate.

LOVE. I do think I was a mermaid in a past life, so that might have something to do with it. Added straight to my wish list of places to get to in my lifetime.

That's kinda cool. I'd need some Xanax to stay there very long.

I think it would be very relaxing an amazing sleep and to wake up to.

um, yes please~!

I would live there if I could. sigh

Wow, I would never have expected so much anxiety in the comments! This would be like a dream for me! I stayed in the underwater hotel in Florida for one night but it was much more enclosed, no giant glass plates like this one.

This is like one of nightmares brought to life. I'd have to be severely sedated to be able to even go here. Deep Blue Sea anyone?

That is just all kinds of awesome.

That is sooo cool! I love being underwater. Although I am claustrophobic now,in my 20's I could have spent a week in there, maybe 2. I would stay awake all night looking at all the fish. Maybe give them a show.................... LOL

I'm suddenly really glad I don't watch water-related horror movies, because this looks amazing!

And fancyd, it's really not that deep. A quick google says that the restaurant is only sixteen feet deep, these are probably similar. And I doubt that they'd let this exist if there was the slightest chance it could burst.

I already have to get up during the night to pee, with this much water all around...um. But it is beautiful

I. Can't. Breathe.

Are you sure this is still around? The underwater rooms don't seem to be shown on the hotel website.

@ those who seem to think people who wouldn't want to sleep there are uptight or have killed their "inner child," perhaps you should consider that there are some very real phobias people have that this space triggers. I wouldn't be bothered sleeping in a glass room surrounded by spiders crawling all over the outside, but I'm pretty sure it would send more than a few people into a panic. That doesn't make them uptight simply because they have a fear that I don't. As for the place, I'd probably sleep there, but it doesn't hit the top of my "must see" list.

I'm having a flipping panic attack just looking at the photos. No thanks, I'll take a big fat pass on this one.

When I was a kid, my dad took my sister and I on our first driving trip through an underwater tunnel. The whole time I was thinking "why didn't they just build a damn bridge?!"

This place is quite beautiful and it would be an awesome place to hang out, but not sleep. I don't like too much stimulation when I'm sleeping, so watching the shadowy movements of the fish would likely give me nightmares. Maybe if it was a jazz lounge or something sexy like that?

I want to go there on my honeymoon!

LOVE this! For a couple reasons:
1) I'm a scuba diver. Fish are my thing.
2) I worked in an aquarium with one of these walk-through tunnels. The weight of the water is not held by the tunnel itself - it is redistributed into the base surrounding it (like trying to pour water onto a basket ball). That's also why domed glass is more often used in large scale aquariums - it has higher structural integrity than flat glass. I ran at least 50-100 overnights in our tunnel.

I had to talk myself down from a panic attack brought on by claustrophobia just looking at this.

The fish: "What the hell is THAT?!? That... that THING down there?!? It seems to be sleeping. Quiet, lads. Just swim casual. Don't wake it. I don't know what it is, but I'll be honest, it scares the living daylights out of me. Where are its GILLS, for the love of all that is holy?!?!? It seems to have made some sort of... nest... but it's so unnatural, I can't even stand it. Right. Let's get out of here!"

Ah. Um. Guess where the favorite snorkling spot is at this resort? And all those fish would be watching.... I might want to stay here, but when it came down to, you know, Super-Special-Couple-Time with my husband, I'm not sure I could do it.

Even though I have a fear of drowning(even though I know how to swim) I would not pass down a chance to stay there.

I could live there!

I, too, gotta vote negative on this!! The picture itself makes me want to flee. Though I respect the engineering.

What if the glass breaks and the sharks come in??!!!!!!!

I was lucky enough to stay at this amazing resort last year, and it's the regular villas 500 meters out into the Indian Ocean that are most spectacular--glass floors, your own in-room massage rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows. I happen to be terrified of fish (yes, fish), but I did eat at the underwater restaurant. It was beautiful, but by no means the design highlight of the trip.

I would LOVE to stay in that room. The only problem is that I would never get to sleep since I wouldn't be able to stop oogling all the fishes.

Would LOVE to stay there! How cool is that??
