太壕了!迪拜打造世界上第一個帶有熱帶雨林的酒店!

Just when we thought the world's largest indoor theme park was hard to top, Dubai proves us wrong yet again.

本以爲剛剛開放的世界最大室內主題公園已經是無可匹敵，然而迪拜再次實力證明我們錯了。

Its latest jaw-dropping megaproject is a tropical rainforest in a skyscraper hotel -- another world-first for the emirate.

其最新一項驚天大工程是在摩天酒店裏打造熱帶雨林--迪拜的又一個世界第一。

The 7,000-square-meter rainforest will be part of the upcoming Rosemont Hotel and Residences Dubai, one of the properties under Hilton's luxury independent brand Curio -- A Collection by Hilton.

這個面積達7000平方米的雨林將是迪拜羅斯蒙特酒店及公寓的一部分。該酒店隸屬希爾頓旗下的奢華自主品牌Curio。

The complex, expecting to welcome its first guests in 2018, consists of two 53-story-high towers including a 448-key hotel and a 280-room serviced apartment tower.

該酒店預計於2018年開業迎賓，由兩座53層高的塔樓組成：酒店塔樓可提供448間客房，公寓塔樓則擁有280套酒店式住宅。

"Our client's concept was to create a very unique destination for the city of Dubai, and also to create a project that would be a destination itself, with every possible leisure and entertainment amenity inside the hotel," says DJ Armin, principal architect and managing partner of ZAS Architects Dubai.

迪拜ZAS建築事務所的首席建築師和管理合夥人DJ·阿明表示：“我們的客戶理念是爲迪拜打造一家個性十足的酒店，而其建築本身也要成爲亮點。酒店將配備你所能想到的一切休閒娛樂設施。”

"As the site wasn't a beachfront location, we looked at how we could create a new type of outdoor leisure space in the city, and also fully integrate nature into the guest experience," Armin tells CNN.

阿明在接受CNN採訪時表示：“建築地點不在海濱，因此我們着眼的是如何打造新型的城市戶外休閒空間，並且要讓客人充分體驗到自然的樂趣。”

A rainforest was the answer.

於是就有了熱帶雨林方案。

"Inside the rainforest, we've created a landscape akin to a full-scale tropical environment -- complete with adventure trails, a sandless beach, a splash pool, waterfalls, streams and a rainforest cafe," says Armin.

阿明說：“我們在雨林中創設的景觀完全模擬了熱帶環境，同時配有探險步道、無沙海灘、嬉水池、瀑布、溪流和雨林咖啡屋。”

"Technological features include an advanced sensory rain system that creates a 360-degree experience, simulating the sensation of being surrounded by rainfall without actually getting wet."

“先進的感應降雨系統是一大技術特色，它能帶來360度全方位體驗，模擬身處雨中的感覺又不會真的淋溼。”

Sensors control where the rain will fall depending on where people are detected. Water will be collected, stored from condensation and recycled to create a humid environment similar to a tropical rainforest.

感應器可以依據檢測到的人的方位，控制降雨地點。而水將通過冷凝的方式收集、儲存並回收再利用，以營造類似熱帶雨林的潮溼環境。

The project is still at an early stage, but it appears the rainforest will be open to the public as well as hotel guests.

該項目尚處於建設初期，而建成後，雨林有可能將同時向公衆和酒店客人開放。
