据油价网2021年3月17日多哈报道，卡塔尔因其大量的液化天然气（LNG）出口和石油储量而成为中东最富有的国家之一。卡塔尔计划建造一个浮式豪华生态酒店，该酒店将以极慢的速度旋转，创下新的纪录，豪华酒店将通过太阳能、风能和潮汐能自行发电。
这个由Hayri Atak建筑设计工作室(HAADS)设计的浮式豪华生态酒店将拥有152间客房。根据设计，该酒店将自己生产清洁能源，零废物。
该酒店将以垂直轴风力涡轮机和雨伞（vawtaus）为特色，后者也将作为环形酒店沿海地带的阳伞。每个vawtau模块将能够产生25千瓦(kW)的电力，酒店计划安装55个这样的模块。玻璃屋顶将收集雨水。
根据HAADS设计工作室的说法，这个计划目前正处于概念阶段，时下正在进行技术和可行性研究，设计人员希望在2025年前实现蓝图。
这不是卡塔尔第一个水上酒店项目，但它肯定是最豪华的酒店项目。
2020年初，另一家房地产公司ADMARES表示，将在2022年国际足联世界杯开幕前，向卡塔尔提供16个可持续能源的水上旅馆。卡塔尔将于2022年11月举办世界杯。这些水上旅馆将位于Qetaifan岛北部附近，预计将为世界杯球迷提供住宿。
Qetaifan岛项目和ADMARES计划嵌进可持续的解决方案，以最小的生态影响，通过太阳能运行酒店。
ADMARES首席执行官Mikael Hedberg在当时的一份声明中说，“这是有史以来第一次纯粹的浮式房地产被用作这种规模的住宿需求的临时解决方案。这些酒店不需要主要港口和深水，因为它们的吃水比大型游轮少得多。

Qatar To Build A Luxury Floating Hotel That Generates Electricity
Qatar, The Eco-Floating Hotel is designed by Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio (HAADS) and will have 152 rooms. The hotel will produce clean energy and have zero waste, according to the designs.
The hotel will feature vawtaus, or vertical axis wind turbines and umbrellas, which will also function as umbrellas According to the design studio HAADS, as carried by New Atlas, the plan is just in its concept phase. Technical and feasibility studies are currently underway, and the designers hope to realize the blueprints by 2025.
This is not the first floating hotel project in Qatar, but it is certainly the most luxurious hotel project yet.
Early in 2020, alternative real estate company ADMARES said it would deliver 16 energy sustainable floating hotels to Qatar in time for FIFA World Cup in 2022, which the tiny Gulf nation will host beginning in November 2022. The floating hotels, expected to host fans for the tournament, will be located near Qetaifan Island North.
Qetaifan Projects and ADMARES plan to embed sustainable solutions with minimum ecological impact by having the hotels run “This is the first time ever that pure floating real estate has been used as a temporary solution for accommodation needs at this scale. These hotels do not require major ports and deep water as their draft is significantly less than large cruise ships,” Mikael Hedberg, chief executive officer of ADMARES, said in a statement at the time.
