Floating Hotels, or ‘Flotels’: The Concept
The appetite for unique, interesting and entirely different experiences is on the rise among international tourists who are no longer prepared to settle for the mundane. As space on land in tourist zones is either scarce or hugely expensive, hoteliers have been looking to other frontiers for expansion opportunities. Floating hotels or “flotels” have been cropping up all over the world, from exotic locations in Thailand to metropolitan cities like New York. Among the most recognisable flotels in the world are the QE2 hotel, the former Royal Yacht that is now permanently moored in Dubai and the transformed 5-star super yacht known as the Sunborn Hotel, moored in Gibraltar. Although there is an increasing trend among developers of looking to waterways for construction opportunities, the hospitality industry has largely failed to recognise the potential of this emerging niche market. We have a reputation for seizing new opportunities for expansion as they arise and we will be offering floating hotel opportunities in cities such as, Dublin, Liverpool, Edinburgh and across strategic European locations, with the first site being ear marked in the city centre of London. Due to the positive environmental impact of redeveloping old cruise liners, we believe that floating hotels represent the future of sustainable innovation within the hospitality industry. The rising trend of floating hotels represents an opportunity to diversify our portfolio further, with a sustainable business model that ensures maximum profitability.

The floating hotel is in the form of the MV Funchal, originally a Portuguese presidential yacht used to transport international dignitaries on transatlantic visits before its conversion into a 4-star luxury cruise liner. The 488-passenger vessel has had a distinguished career over the years, traversing the world’s oceans and taking in the Arctic Circle, Norwegian Fjords, Australia and the Far East; the Mediterranean and the Pacific.

As one of the finest examples of a luxury cruise liner, the MV Funchal was extensively refurbished in 2013, at a cost of €12m, elevating its luxurious offering even further. Around 300kms of new wiring, 500 tons of steel, 3kms of conducts and piping and 15,000m2 of new ceilings and carpeting were replaced during its restoration.
