The absolutely spectacular Marina Bay Sands hotel becomes today (June 2010) in the world's most expensive hotel. Until his last inauguration world's most expensive hotel was another not less spectacular, the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi located. The cost of building the Emirates Palace (opened in 2004) was about 2,400 million euros, while Marina Bay Sands has cost a whopping amount of approximately 5,000 million euros.
Just see the silhouette of the hotel is very striking his highly original way. If you look closely you'll see different perspectives from the architectural firm of Moshe Safdie was inspired by a deck of cards for your design. Spectacular front view from the bay at night or an aerial view of the entire complex. A few moments contemplating pictures of the outside (or the first image that appears when you enter their website) and tell us that we are clearly dealing with something that is not seen or is built every day.
Perhaps what I call the attention of its peculiar shape is the area which is located on the three towers and reminiscent of a boat. The area is located approximately 200 meters high, on the top floor, 55, is lllama Sands Skypark and has a length of 340 meters. In this area you will find what is perhaps the most spectacular of all the Marina Bay Sands. This is an amazing swimming pool infiniti pool (infinity). A swimming pool has a length of 150 meters (three times a lap pool). There are images that are seen to have views while enjoying a bath and once again at the risk of being repetitive, it is somewhat surprising and difficult to forget. View of the pool at the edge of Singapore's skyline and the bay can be something really amazing.
