Manned Cloud Hotel: The Way of the Future
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a… flying whale in the sky! In fact, this enormous whale will be an eco-hotel, an environmentally-sensitive air-ship that cruises the earth. The mastermind behind the Manned Cloud? Jean-Marie Massaud, the brilliant designer who used to work with Philippe Starck and who was named Designer of the Year at last year’s Salon du Meuble in Paris. His dream– a unique, helium-filled hotel from where you can appreciate the most marvelous views of Earth– could be realized as soon as next year.
How much does it cost to stay at this Hotel? And will it ever be timeshared?
