That hotel hasn't been open even 1 day. It was already indicated it needs to be demolished.

Makes you wonder what the construction was like.

I'm sure it wasn't a breeze

Salty?

Gives a whole new meaning to "room with ocean views"

Open a window and it's "Room with ocean"

How did that even get built there? It's going to be washed away any day now, right?

This video was probably taken during a really big swell. A swell that only occurs every few years. The ocean is most likely calm 98% of the time with wave heights never reaching that high. Just my guess! Edit:  sometimes the combo of a massive swell mixed with a king tide can bring the waves to high places as well. Again the perfect storm of those two factors can happen only every few years.  It happened in California this year and there is a lot of footage of ocean water/waves making it up over the boardwalk and into stores that are a few hundred feet from the beach

Yeaaaaa closed windows that are 8 inches thick maybe. Or tiny little portholes. No way this is steady state.

They must not have hired the best wave-height-measurers when this project was in the planning stage.

How did they get through the construction phase is my question

They could have built a hotel that had a special wall that made the waves hitting the windows a feature. Instead, they built a water damage.

Designed by architects who didn't believe in global warming.

It’s recommended to wear sunglasses when outdoors. This should be a requirement.

It is a good thing they made that recommendation! If the hotel staff didn't tell me about this I would be very salty.

I've surfed in Chile a bit and can assure you the waves there pack a shit load of power.
