Beijing Hotel Will House Massive Rainforest


Business Insider: We've heard of all sorts of wild hotel amenities, but this may be the coolest yet.

A massive hotel is being planned near Beijing's airport that will house a 107,000-foot indoor rainforest that will be visible to landing planes, Inhabitat reports. With 1,500 rooms, the hotel will be the largest in Beijing, according to Emergent, the architecture firm behind the design.

The building will be equipped with skylights and exterior grooves to provide sunlight and natural irrigation for the rainforest. It will cover 2.3 million square feet and has already been labeled a future landmark of the city, according to Emergent.
