While the pictures of the massive construction look awe-inspiring enough, the final look they are aiming for seems even more stunning.

According to Atkins, the look of the hotel will 'reflect the natural landscape of the quarry'. The hotel will have 383 rooms, a green roof, underwater rooms and a waterfall on top of the quarry all the way to the pool at the bottom.
 
The hotel will also feature a glass waterfall-like design in the centre of the building.
