Jules’ Undersea Lodge Key Largo, Florida When guests visit Jules’ Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Florida, they discover that the name is no marketing gimmick. Just to enter the Lodge, one must actually scuba dive 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea. Jules’ really is underwater. Diving through the tropical mangrove habitat of the Emerald Lagoon and approaching the world’s only underwater hotel is quite an experience. Even from the outside, Jules’ big 42 inch round windows cast a warm invitation to come in and stay a while, relax and get to know the underwater world that so few of us have even visited. Entering through an opening in the bottom of the habitat, the feeling is much like discovering a secret underwater clubhouse. The cottage sized building isn’t short on creature comforts: hot showers, a well stocked kitchen (complete with refrigerator and microwave), books, music, and video movies. And of course there are cozy beds, where guests snuggle up and watch the fish visit the windows of their favorite underwater “terrarium”. Jules’ Undersea Lodge manages to reach a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Guests sometimes describe their visit to inner space as the most incredible experience of their lives. One couple decided on a career change after visiting Jules’ Undersea Lodge, and they now operate Aquanauts’ Dive Shop. Another couple named their baby after Jules’, when they later discovered their recently conceived child had accompanied them in their wonderful adventure in undersea living.

info@hotel-im-wasserturm.de
Exclusive,
unique, a one-of-a-kind experience – the Hotel im Wasserturm,
international luxury hotel in what used to be Europe’s
largest water tower, is one of the most unusual hotels in
Germany. Classified as a heritage site, you will find an
extraordinary interior design of timeless modernity behind
its 130 year-old walls. Designed by the interior designer
Andrée Putman, the first-class hotel was opened in 1990 and
today presents itself in an elegant style.
The form of a tower – it’s a symbol for a kind of refuge,
protection and safety that is not confining, but rather
gives you a great sense of spaciousness and generosity. The
imposing 11 meters high entrance hall with its catwalks
alone will give you that impression. One step outside – and
already you are right in the middle of the pulsating life of
the city. One step back – and you feel safe in your “own”
four walls.
