The hotel won’t be large, with only 12 guest rooms, plus a restaurant. Guests will get to the hotel in a lift – so no diving or getting wet! The hotel will float 10 metres under the ocean, although it will be attached to the sea bed to prevent it from moving too far. Because it won’t be very deep under the water, the sun will shine down and provide light. Guests will get great close-up views of the fish and other sea creatures, which won’t be bothered by the hotel and so won’t make any effort to avoid it.
The hotel’s design, with walls made of clear plastic, means that when you are in your room, you will see the sea in front of you, behind you, above and below you. You will almost get the feeling that you are swimming in the ocean. The luxury rooms will have excellent facilities, including a shower, TV and even the Internet. The restaurant will serve high quality meals. However, Planet Ocean want to encourage people to eat less fish, so you won’t find any on the menu. The atmosphere will be completely silent though, so you will have to imagine the sound of the ocean around you.
The hotel won’t be cheap to build, and it won’t be cheap to stay in. But the designers are especially proud of the fact that it will be environmentally friendly. It will use electricity, of course, but it will produce its own, and won’t disturb ocean life at all. In fact, the designers hope some sea creatures will build their homes on parts of the building, which will bring real benefits to the underwater world.
1. What is the writer doing in this text?
A advertising a new kind of luxury hotel
B warning people about environmental problems in the ocean
C giving information about an underwater hotel
D giving advice to travellers on which hotels to choose
2. What do we learn about the hotel?
A Guests will have to swim down to get to it.
B Its lights will shine into the sea so guests can see the fish.
C It will only have a small number of rooms.
D Fish and other sea creatures will be scared of it.
3. What can guests do in the hotel?
A swim out into the ocean
B watch the ocean life near the hotel
C enjoy a meal of freshly caught fish
D hear the ocean as they go to sleep
4. What is the best thing about the hotel, according to the designers?
A It won’t cost much to build.
B It won’t use much electricity.
C It won’t cause any damage to the environment.
D Fish and other sea creatures won’t come very close to it.
5. What might a guest in this hotel say?
A It’s very expensive, but the facilities are quite basic and the windows are too small to see outside.
B It’s great to stay in such a beautiful hotel that is also good for the planet.
C Seeing the fish up close is amazing, but it’s a shame that the hotel disturbs sea life.
D It’s a great idea, and I love the fact that it can move around and travel to different locations.

A Hotel Under the Sea
Want to sleep under the sea? The company Planet Ocean has plans for an exciting underwater hotel, which they hope to build in locations all over the world. The hotel won’t be large, with only 12 guest rooms, plus a restaurant. Guests will get to the hotel in a lift – so no diving or getting wet! The hotel will float 10 metres under the ocean, although it will be attached to the sea bed to prevent it from moving too far. Because it won’t be very deep under the water, the sun will shine down and provide light. Guests will get great close-up views of the fish and other sea creatures, which won’t be bothered by the hotel and so won’t make any effort to avoid it.
