The world’s tallest hotel will open next year in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang and will be operated by Kempinski Hotels and Resorts.
The 105-story, pyramid-shaped Ryugyong Hotel will open partially in July or August, Bloomberg reports.
Kempinski will be the first western hospitality service to operate in North Korea.
Construction of the 3000-room hotel – often referred to as the Hotel of Doom – began in 1987 and stopped between 1992 and 2008.
It appears regularly on lists of the world’s most ugly buildings.
