據油價網2021年3月17日多哈報道，卡塔爾因其大量的液化天然氣（LNG）出口和石油儲量而成為中東最富有的國家之一。卡塔爾計劃建造一個浮式豪華生態酒店，該酒店將以極慢的速度旋轉，創下新的紀錄，豪華酒店將通過太陽能、風能和潮汐能自行發電。

這個由Hayri Atak建筑設計工作室(HAADS)設計的浮式豪華生態酒店將擁有152間客房。根據設計，該酒店將自己生產清潔能源，零廢物。

該酒店將以垂直軸風力渦輪機和雨傘（vawtaus）為特色，后者也將作為環形酒店沿海地帶的陽傘。每個vawtau模塊將能夠產生25千瓦(kW)的電力，酒店計劃安裝55個這樣的模塊。玻璃屋頂將收集雨水。

根據HAADS設計工作室的說法，這個計劃目前正處于概念階段，時下正在進行技術和可行性研究，設計人員希望在2025年前實現藍圖。

這不是卡塔爾第一個水上酒店項目，但它肯定是最豪華的酒店項目。

2020年初，另一家房地產公司ADMARES表示，將在2022年國際足聯世界杯開幕前，向卡塔爾提供16個可持續能源的水上旅館。卡塔爾將于2022年11月舉辦世界杯。這些水上旅館將位于Qetaifan島北部附近，預計將為世界杯球迷提供住宿。

Qetaifan島項目和ADMARES計劃嵌進可持續的解決方案，以最小的生態影響，通過太陽能運行酒店。

ADMARES首席執行官Mikael Hedberg在當時的一份聲明中說，“這是有史以來第一次純粹的浮式房地產被用作這種規模的住宿需求的臨時解決方案。這些酒店不需要主要港口和深水，因為它們的吃水比大型游輪少得多。

Qatar To Build A Luxury Floating Hotel That Generates Electricity

The Eco-Floating Hotel is designed by Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio (HAADS) and will have 152 rooms. The hotel will produce clean energy and have zero waste, according to the designs.

The hotel will feature vawtaus, or vertical axis wind turbines and umbrellas, which will also function as umbrellas on the coastal band of the doughnut-shaped hotel. Each vawtau module will be capable of generating 25 kilowatts (kW) of electricity, and 55 such modules are planned. The glass roof will collect rainwater.

According to the design studio HAADS, as carried by New Atlas, the plan is just in its concept phase. Technical and feasibility studies are currently underway, and the designers hope to realize the blueprints by 2025.

This is not the first floating hotel project in Qatar, but it is certainly the most luxurious hotel project yet.

Early in 2020, alternative real estate company ADMARES said it would deliver 16 energy sustainable floating hotels to Qatar in time for FIFA World Cup in 2022, which the tiny Gulf nation will host beginning in November 2022. The floating hotels, expected to host fans for the tournament, will be located near Qetaifan Island North.

Qetaifan Projects and ADMARES plan to embed sustainable solutions with minimum ecological impact by having the hotels run on solar energy.

“This is the first time ever that pure floating real estate has been used as a temporary solution for accommodation needs at this scale. These hotels do not require major ports and deep water as their draft is significantly less than large cruise ships,” Mikael Hedberg, chief executive officer of ADMARES, said in a statement at the time.
