World’s First Sandcastle Hotel
Posted in Architecture, Designer, Hotels, News on 5 August 2008

Sandcastle Hotel

It has all: Sun, Sand, Sea minus Beach. If you are willing to compromise on the presence of beach then located on Weymouth beach in Dorset, UK, here stands the world’s largest and only sand castle hotel made wholly of sand. And it is also missing on clandestine or any shower or toilet services and hence leaving you with the only option to sit with legs crossed. A team of six was engaged for continuous eight days (12-14 hours/day or 600 hour’s total) to erect the 50 foot square by 13 foot high sand hotel. Featuring sand pillow, sand bed and other sandy interiors, the structure is formed using 1,000 tons of Weymouth beach sand and water from the sea.

The under sky family room offers scenic beauty and features a double and single bed constructed using sand and costing a petty $21 (£10) for a night stay under starry skies. The structure is a creation by sculptor Mark Anderson who was bespoken by the site LateRooms.com, designed to offer an appeal similar to that of a giant sand castle.

I would suggest you to reserve yourself a room a tough tide or rain washes it off. It can be done by calling ‘LateRooms’ sand hotel booking hotline, citing “Under the Stars” on 020 7841 6682.

Sculpted Steel Billiard Table

Having introduced you to the $72,000 limited-edition monarch billiard pool table, today I came across another distinct pool table that is almost one-third cheaper than this. Those of you tired of playing pool on conventional wooden table shall try their luck on this No.6 Sculpted Steel Billiard Table from Carbon Studio. Priced at $27,000, this innovative table is designed and handcrafted developed by Colorado sculptor Daniel Romano. It features a hot rolled steel finish that comes with refined edges, hand structured metal pockets with rubber liners standing on steel legs.

The very appeal of the table offers pride to the Batman holding it as it comes equipped with tournament grade bumpers.
