This hotel was meant to be a symbol of prosperity, but ended up a ghost building. Construction of the 105-story building began in 1987 and ended in 1992, when the funds dried up after the Soviet Union collapsed.

Work began again in 2008, but only the exterior of the “Hotel of Doom” was completed. Still nothing inside though. By this point, North Korea had sunk half a billion dollars into the structure.

Finally, in 2017, roads were built to the hotel, and LEDs were installed outside. Still no rooms, though.
