Dubai, the land of towering skyscrapers, is getting yet another set of buildings. 

The Rosemont Hotel & Residences is a massive, double-tower complex that's currently being constructed under the direction of ZAS Architects Dubai

Part of a the new Rosemont global hotel brand, the $550 million project will consist of two towers rising over 50 stories each, adding up to over 2 million square feet on a 140,000-square-foot site.

One tower will be a hotel, and the other will be serviced apartments, all slated to open in 2018. In case you weren't certain you were living in a Jetsons alternate reality, robotic room service and luggage handling should clue you in.

The world's first indoor rainforest is another perk.

The 75,000-square-foot outdoor rainforest will have a café, stream, and space for "adventure play", according to information provided by ZAS Architects Dubai.



The lot — in the upscale Al Thanyah neighborhood, near Ski Dubai and the Mall of the Emirates — was previously vacant.



To make sure the rainforest functions, despite being located in a building in one of the most arid desert climates in the world, water will be collected and stored from condensation. The rainforest area will present a "unique all weather atmosphere" with shade and mist sprays from trees, and there will even be "activity trails" to explore the rooftop rainforest.
