The “revolving loft” at the Hotel Marmara Antalya is an amazing accomplishment of engineering. It only has 24 rooms, but the amazing tower cost $12 million to build and is designed to gently rotate 360 degrees in anywhere from two hours to a day.
The Hotel Marmara Antalya’s main building is unfortunately ordinary, but it does overlook one of Turkey’s most beautiful cities. The first and only of its kind, the hardest part of the tower must have been getting the plumbing right.
