Yes, this is a real picture, no Photoshopping here! The Sun Cruise Hotel, located in Jeongdongjin, South Korea is built to resemble a cruise ship. It measures 148 feet tall, 541 feet long, and weighs in at 30,000 tons. It is said to have been the first of its kind in the world.
This unusual hotel was created to accommodate people who do not have the time or money to take an actual cruise. To complete the illusion, the sounds of birds and crashing waves can be heard from speakers placed at strategic points throughout the hotel.
Although the Sun Cruise Hotel may appear strange on the outside, the inside is posh and luxurious. There are 211 rooms and the cost is about $73 per night depending on room size and the season. Amenities include 6 restaurants, a rotating bar, saltwater pool, and a golf course.
The area is known for its beautiful sunrises and surprisingly, this is one of the most popular hotels in South Korea!
