World's Tallest Hotel: Whenever we think about magnificent buildings, we think of the United States or the United Arab Emirates (UAE). And when we think about North Korea, our mind thinks of nuclear missiles and bombs. But what if we say that the world's tallest hotel is located in North Korea? Surprising right, but it's true. The building's structure reminds one of the Egyptian pyramids. We are talking about Hotel Ryugyong, which is also known for its bad luck. Let's know more about Hotel Ryugyong.
Hotel Ryugyong
Hotel Ryugyong is surely a marvellous building that resembles an Egyptian pyramid because of its structure. Its height is just a little less than twice that of the Statue of Unity. The height of the Statue of Unity is 182 meters, while the height of this hotel is 330 meters. Hotel Ryugyong has 105 floors. But sadly, the luxurious hotel is still waiting for its first guest. Yes, no guest has come here to date.
Built with big dreams and plans, Hotel Ryugyong is the world's tallest hotel but today it is known as a desolate and deserted building. The hotel's exterior is fitted with LEDs, which are used for nightly displays of promotional material and symbols during major national events.
Inauguration Not Done
After knowing about the Hotel Ryugyong, you must be wondering why no guests have checked in here. Well, the answer is that it has not been inaugurated yet.
Incomplete Construction Work
The hotel has not been inaugurated yet because the construction work inside this building is not yet completed. This building is ready only from the outside, but the inside is still deserted.
Work started in 1987
As per reports, the construction of this building started in 1987 and it was completed in 1992. Further construction work was stopped due to the economic crisis, as aid stopped after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The work was completed by 2011
In 2008, an Egyptian company started a USD180 million exterior glass and aluminium cladding project. The work was completed in 2011. However, the hotel has been in need of interior work ever since.
