7 Star Apeiron Island Hotel in Dubai

This is Dubai’s US $350 million project, it’s the hi-tech and futuristic 7 star Apeiron Island Hotel.

This is one of the most impressive futuristic luxury hotels I have ever seen, I am not sure how much it will end up costing to stay their but do not expect cheap in the price.  The Dubai Apeiron island hotel is designed by Sybarite Architects and will feature an underwater restaurant, an art gallery, a spa, 438 suites and 28 floors.

The Apeiron Island will be 300m from the coast of Dubai and the top two floors of the hotel will even feature a temperature- controlled butterfly jungle with tropical species.

The name Apeiron comes from a cosmological theory developed by a Greek philosopher called Anaximander of Miletus who lived in the 6th century BC (610-546 BC). The theory goes something along the lines of the Apeiron being a vague indeterminate source without measure, from which everything in the universe originates, including bathtowels and bowls of fruit. As things die, they fade back into the Apeiron. So now you know where to find those missing socks. Apeiron (Απειρον using Greek characters) is an Ancient Greek word meaning something like “boundless”, “limitless”, or “infinity”.

Aperion (different spelling) is the name of a loudspeaker manufacturer in the USA – somewhat appropriate as the Apeiron Hotel could be seen as half a speaker cone if you squint your eyes a bit.
