Who can ever forget the giant and "unsinkable" RMS Titanic which met a tragic fate on her very first voyage? While most of us did not get the chance to have a glimpse of it, and only depend on old photos and interpretations by film makers, we can now see the grandeur and experience being on board the cruise liner by staying in the Titanic Beach Lara Hotel in Antalya, Turkey.
In a conversation with the 5-star hotel's Marketing Manager, Tarik Egemen, the Daily Mail reported that the people behind the structure were inspired by the interior and exterior of the legendary vessel. The infamous ship's design can be seen outside the building, while a cozy interior welcomes the guests inside.
The hotel is one of a kind and is part of a chain of hotels located in Istanbul, Bodrum, and Berlin, although the three hotel locations do not have the same theme. The Titanic Beach Lara Hotel boasts of having 1,200 beds distributed in its 551 rooms, one indoor and three outdoor pools, toy shops, a florist, a water park, several restaurants, Turkish Baths, and a world-class spa.
To be closely identified with the infamous ship, the bedrooms come with pothole-styled windows, while lifeboats and replica decks similar to the railings featured in the "King of the World " scene in the hit film "Titanic," are found outside. Guests are able to relive that scene, but minus the moving ship. A stay here likewise gives a captivating view of oceans over the south-west Turkish coast. More importantly, anybody can feel the lavishness of a luxury liner without having to worry about the ship sinking nor colliding into an iceberg. With this hotel in full operation, luxury, comfort and elegance--in lyrics popularized by the movie's soundtrack--"will go on and on."
