Dubai Hotel


Ever walk onto the beach on a sunny day, only to have to hip hop your way to your towel or risk burned tootsies? It's part of a day at the beach, right? Not so, according to the designers of a new luxury hotel in Dubai, the Palazzo Versace, which will weave pipes of coolant through the sand in order to keep it cool on those hot desert days of days.The luxury hotel is set to open sometime in the next 12 - 24 months, and will use the underground cooling system plus a series of fans to keep the ultra-rich from getting overheated while they bathe in the sun. The impacts of such lavish excesses remain to be seen, but it's hard to believe the hotel's claims that the beach is "environmentally sustainable."
