Saudi development Neom has unveiled a hotel called Treyam that bridges a lagoon as the latest resort on the Gulf of Aqaba.
Designed by US studio Mark Foster Gage Architects, the 250-room hotel will be contained within a 450-metre-long bridge with glass-bottomed rooms and topped with an infinity pool.

It is set to be built on the Gulf of Aqaba around 10 kilometres north of The Line development in the northwest of Saudi Arabia.
According to the studio, the hotel was raised to give a different perspective of the surrounding landscape, lagoon and sea.

"Treyam is a luxury hotel that hovers above the landscape offering a new perspective on how architecture engages with nature," explained Mark Foster Gage Architects founder Mark Foster Gage. "You have an opportunity to go at a higher vantage point and appreciate the Gulf of Aqaba from this breathtaking view."
It will be topped by a 450-metre long swimming pool
The hotel's rooms will be contained within the bridge and feature glass floors and glass ceilings. A 450-metre-long infinity pool will top the entire length of the bridge.
"Our idea was to lift the entire hotel up above all of that [the marine life]," said Gage. "The hotel has been elevated and turned into a 450-meter long bridge.
