London - A British sculptor has turned a dream into reality by creating the world's first-ever sandcastle hotel on a beach in Dorset, south-west Britain. Mark Anderson said it took 1,000 tons of sand and a team of four sculptors working 14 hours a day for seven days to build the roofless structure on Weymouth beach.
Guests prepared to get by without toilet facilities and happy to get the sand between their toes will be able to gaze at the open skies from sand beds for 10 pounds (20 dollars) a night.
According to Anderson, bookings are coming in.
"The best thing is in the morning the tide laps through the door, what a great way to wake up," said Anderson, who admits that his dream structure will only be there until it's washed away by the tide.
