Experience marine life like never before as you sleep among fishes, literally

While there are hotel rooms situated on top of some of the tallest buildings in the world, perhaps it is time to venture down the other end and discover what are some of the world’s most exclusive underwater suites. This futuristic concept is, as a matter of fact, alive and kicking in many countries across the globe.

Sure, sea-view hotel rooms are gorgeous, but what if you could stay beneath the water’s surface?

Fancy a night or two among marine life? We narrow down some of the most amazing underwater suites for your next getaway.
