The resort, located at the foot of the Alpine skiing slopes, is due to open next year and will cater to both domestic and international travellers.

Consisting of 209 rooms, it is also be adjacent to the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park where freestyle skiing and snowboard events were held during the Games in February.

The Extreme Hotel, billed as the forerunner of others in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, has various unique elements including guests immediately enter a café zone, bar and dance floor instead of a lobby, as well as DJs to provide entertainment once the skiing has finished. 

The hotel will help deliver the ultimate adventure playground for even the most demanding guests, it is hoped.

"We are creating an original hotel offering that resonates with travellers who crave a getaway geared to their high-octane pursuits and the lifestyle" said Al Gosling, chief executive and founder of the Extreme Sports Channel.

"Once delivered we will have created a great destination to not only do the sports but everything else that makes your stay unforgettable, the people, the party, the experience.

"You may not remember but you will never forget."
