Underwater Hotel to Debut

It may sound like a sci-fi fantasy, but the new Poseidon Undersea Resort is scheduled to open next year. The hotel will include a library, restaurant, and fitness center, and 24 rooms with breathtaking views of the sea floor 40 feet below the surface. The resort, made up of 70% acrylic glass, is being assembled in Portland, Oregon, before it is submerged in its final location in Fiji. There are two other underwater hotels debuting in 2009 -- the 220-suite hotel Hydropolis in Dubai, and the Shanghai Shimao Wonderland in Shanghai. Poseidon's $15,000/week price tag per person, may not be for the budget traveler, but if you've ever dreamed of living like a James Bond villain, this could be the ticket.
