What are the characteristics of the design and construction of Shanghai Shimao Intercontinental Hotel under the deep pit?

When you go out to play, you usually choose to stay in some hotels around the scenic spot or special homestays. With the continuous development, you may also feel that the hotel is no longer just a place to meet accommodation, but can provide better service. Especially those five-star hotels, the specifications will be higher.

Hotels we see in our daily life are generally located in high-rise buildings. However, the hotel that Bian Xiao wants to talk about today is in a deep pit, and it is still the lowest hotel in the world. This magical hotel is Shimao Intercontinental Hotel, which is located in the deep pit of tianmashan at the foot of Sheshan Mountain.

The deep pit where Shimao Intercontinental Hotel is located turned out to be a quarry. At the beginning, it was still a 20-meter-high Xiaohengshan. With the increase in the amount of stones needed, Xiaohengshan gradually became a pit more than 80 meters deep. The appearance of Shimao Intercontinental Hotel is to turn this Shanghai "scar" into treasure.

At present, the Intercontinental Shimao Hotel is 88 meters above sea level, which was once called "the miracle of world architecture" by National Geographic. Because Gai Lou is not so simple in the deep pit, there are many difficulties to overcome. The scheme has been discussed for about 7 years and can resist earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above. This hotel, together with the famous sailing hotel in Dubai, has also been selected as one of the top ten architectural wonders in the world.

The whole hotel started construction in 20 13 years, which lasted for five years and cost 10 billion yuan. 20 18 officially opened. Shimao Intercontinental Hotel has a total construction area of more than 60,000 square meters, with 17 floors, and even two floors are underwater. In addition to hundreds of rooms and suites, there are bars, indoor swimming pools and spas.

Of course, such a luxurious hotel is expensive in terms of price. As a 5-star hotel, Shimao Intercontinental Hotel generally costs more than 3,000 yuan a night for an ordinary room. Moreover, the price of rooms on the two floors underwater has reached tens of thousands of yuan, which is still very expensive.

The five-star hotel with the lowest altitude in the world, with a cost of 654.38+00 billion yuan, can resist earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above.

At present, it has been open for more than a year. Shimao Intercontinental Hotel operates well, and the hotel rooms are well designed and decorated. In addition, an artificial waterfall is specially designed in the deep pit, which can be seen in the room. What do you think of Intercontinental Sheshan Hotel Shanghai?
