The Ryugyong Hotel (or Ryu-Gyong Hotel or Yu-Kyung Hotel or the 105 Building) is a towering, empty concrete shell that was once intended for use as a hotel in Sojang-dong, in the Potong-gang District of Pyongyang, North Korea. The hotel's name comes from one of the historic names for Pyongyang: Ryugyong, or "capital of willows". Its 105 stories rise to a height of 330 m (1,083 ft), and it boasts some 360,000 m² (3.9 million ft²) of floor space, making it the most prominent feature of the city's skyline and by far the largest structure in that country. Construction started in 1987 and reached a cessation in 1992. If the building were ever completed, it would be the world's tallest hotel and the seventh largest building in the world.[1] However, as of 2006, it remains unfinished and uninhabited.

an Egyptian communications company are rumored to be involved in the construction of this building again. they hve installed windows on the tops flow and a satellite mast on the top plus some interior design on the top levels. however i doubt this building is structually sound 2 continue building. I once read an interesting comment that North Korea are using this site as a cover up for a secret nuclear weapons programme-could be interesting!

No interior shots or architect's concept pix? The interior is probably nothing but support columns and bare concrete floors.

They stopped working on this 16 years ago, by now with all those open windows and rain getting in I'm sure there's a lot of deterioration, corrosion etc

Such an ugly building.

You're actually right; they have no money to finish building it to this day.

Kim Jong Il's going to have a sleepover at the Hotel! All of Pyongyang invited! Don't forget to bring your oil lamps and plenty of matches!

Its a gaudy eyesore...
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
