Introduction:

Inspired by both the legend of Atlantis (either sinking, flying up into Outer Space, becoming a submersible, being an amphibious city-ship, or slipping into another dimension) and the Atlantis-based hotel idea briefly mentioned by an American Marine at the onset of the 21st century, Inisfree’s take on this concept is now called Atlantis II, and goes far beyond the scope of even a 7-star hotel, for this construct and attraction is a fully loaded resort neighborhood more than half a mile wide.

–

Dimensions:

On the Inisfreean grid map, Atlantis II is 41 pixels squared, each pixel representing an area of 66 feet by 66 feet. That makes this resort 2,706′ on each of its four borders, for a total foundation floor-space of 7,322,436 square feet. Counting its numerous stories, each of which slope gracefully out and down Inisfree’s main lake‘s coastal shelf, that gives this resort, the largest of its class in Inisfree or anywhere else, more than 70 million square feet of floor-space. Half of that room is down below the gently surging surf of this main lake it is nestled right into, giving hundreds of its suites the most amazing underwater views of the pristine, white sands, lake bottom, its main eye candy; its very own reef, built entirely by the Inisfreean people, and the occasional view of one of the city’s submersible wet-bar lounges and personal watercraft.

Special Features:

Inisfreeans are architects, artists, engineers, nature lovers, and scientists, so it should come as no surprise that they have refined their sciences to the point at which they were able to make a structural and visual clone of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef… and did. Visible outside the windows of almost every underwater suite in this vast hotel is Inisfree’s Great Barrier Reef, which they call the Great Barrier Reef II, giving due reverence to the original, its namesake. If you’d like to check it out for yourself, simply don one of the complimentary couture wet-suits and other dive gear which come with your suite, proceed through the nearest airlock (no compression chamber needed in this lake’s environment), and swim around right outside your suite’s window-walls to your heart’s content. Expect to see a few nude Inisfreeans swimming out there along the bottom of that lake, too, as Inisfreeans don’t need to breathe or don any gear no matter Where they go. What they Will do is offer to hold your hands and swim with you as they take you on a guided tour of both their beautiful underwater paradise there and anywhere Else you might love to go. And don’t worry about hurting yourself, such as by getting cut by coral, because Inisfree’s constructs are cleverly designed not to puncture, scrape, or otherwise harm you. This reef of theirs will feel smooth and soft to you, though indestructible if you try to tug on any piece of it.

Capacity & Population:

With nearly 67,000 hotel rooms/suites, and room for ~500,000 residents/guests (plus double that during big events / multiple simultaneous parties), there are usually half a million visitors and/or citizens of Inisfree enjoying this resort hotel at any given moment. Some have chosen to make it their second/vacation home. Others? Their main one. (We only call it a hotel if that was its original conception; all places in Inisfree are habitable for the short and long terms.)
