The Desert Lotus


Build it and they will come!  This is the Desert Lotus Hotel located in the Xiangshawan Desert about 500 miles west of Beijing, China.  It is comprised of a steel structure anchored within sand dunes with repeating white triangular tent tops connected together in the formation of a lotus.   The hotel utilizes wind, water and wind energy of the desert and is quite self sufficient.  It is a luxurious hotel with a spa, pool and private club.  Visitors can enjoy desert surfing, yoga, camel rides and Mongolian themed performances.
