Floating hotel ship could anchor in New York harbor
A Japanese firm develops a seven story 585 foot floating hotel towed to ports worldwide. The 506 room megastructure by Mitsui Ocean Development would dock permanently, offering restaurants ballrooms shops and health clubs with options including a heliport and underwater restaurant. Ralph Hakim Group says the $60 million project could bring 300 to 500 jobs and boost New York's economy. Local planners see potential in the West Side near 12th Avenue with mooring near 42nd or 43rd streets, envisioning a renaissance for a stalled area.
