Kempinski to manage Hotel of Doom

Thursday, 06 Nov, 2012 0

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.
