You may have heard of a hotel made from ice, now there is a hotel made from sand. The world’s first sand castle hotel has recently opened at weymouth beach in the seaside town of dorset in the UK. The hotel was constructed from approximately 1000 tonnes of sand, built over 15sqm reaching a height of 4m.

    Oh great. Sand. It’s like building with concrete except not as good.

    I dread to think how this would survive our infamous British weather! Really impressive stuff though.

    I’d love to visit and rest in it one day. I’m really wondering how it’s built, it can’t be only out of sand, it wouldn’t stand “sunny” Britannia. Still, nice hotel.
