A new Dorset floating hotel - the Bibby Stockholm - is being moored off Weymouth and will open soon.

With room for hundreds of guests in ensuite rooms, the hotel should prove a boon to the local economy, which has suffered since Portland Prison was downgraded to a Young Offenders Institution (YOI) and cocaine smuggling stopped around nearby Moonfleet.

A hotel spokesperson told FNN:

The Bibby will operate an innovative business model: Guests can only arrive by boat and from outside the UK so we will have our own Border Force station operating inside the hotel lobby.

An Albanian entrepreneur explained how this will work:

We will be running direct services to the Bibby from the docks at the Son Gat camp in France.

Guests board one of our luxurious Zodiacs and within a few hours they will be checked in at the hotel ready to enjoy the delights of the Jurassic coast in Dorset.

For part of the journey they will be escorted by the Weymouth lifeboat funded by RNLI donations intended to save sailors from drowning.

We will also offer direct flights to Rwanda from nearby Bournemouth airport for those guests who do not wish to continue their stay in the UK.

In this case we will be paying them to leave rather than them paying us to get here.

Bonus!
