Berlin Hotel Aquarium bursts, in Germany. Where Else Can You See Enormous Aquariums?

Wikipedia is getting quick off the mark with its articles. The AquaDom burst on 16 December. By the 27th, when I found an article in the Daily Mail online newspaper, a complete account and analysis with several photos was in Wikipedia.

Berlin  Hotel Aquarium

The big cylindrical aquarium in a Berlin Radisson Blu Hotel burst in December 2022. December 16h. I am sorry that all the fish died, that the hotel has been destroyed, the staff have lost their jobs or had to change jobs, the destruction of a building and landmark. 

Berlin is on my wishlist. 

Where else can you see giant aquariums? I have seen a couple. I saw a similar one in Spain.

Spanish Hotel Aquarium

I stayed in a hotel with a similar aquarium in Spain. Our destination goal was the Guggenheim Museum. The hotel was within walking distance of the museum, which was across the road, on the same side of the river. 

USA Restaurant Aquarium

I also saw an aquarium in a restaurant at Disney World. Coral Reef Restaurant.

Hotel lobbies and bedrooms viewing an aquarium

Tripadvisor has a list of stunning hotels. These include the Berlin hotel with a cylindrical aquarium in the lobby.

I stayed in a similar hotel, with a cylindrical aquarium in the lobby, in the Silken Grand in Bilbao facing the Guggenheim Museum.

Another aquarium view, this time from the bedroom, is in the suites of bedrooms in a hotel on Sentosa Island, Singapore. You can sit in your sunken bath watching a giant plaice and other fish swim past the picture window looking into the aquarium. Your place or mine? If you were on honeymoon it could be quite distracting. On the other hand, if you were waiting for your partner who was out at a conference or business meeting, or playing sports, it's one way to while away the time pleasantly when stuck in the bedroom.

In the USA at Las Vegas, one hotel has an aquarium behind the reception desk. Most of the big hotels in Las Vegas have fantastic lobbies. No need to book entertainment. You can just go hotel hopping, and shopping and have drinks of coffee in different hotels, seeing animals, birds, flower displays, fountains and more.

If it's waterfalls you want, try Disneyland hotels. Or hotels in Singapore such as the Shangri-la and the Hyatt and Shangri-la.

If you want to go in the water, hotels with infinity pools include one on Bali. (Again, check out Triapadvisor.) My favourite is in Singapore, the Marina Bay sands, on top of the towers. The rooftop bars and restaurants have great views too, for special occasions.

In London, England, restaurants offer views over the Thames. The Shard and the Oxo Tower have
restaurants with views. Be sure when booking to ask for a window seat.
