I hope that it gets finished, I read in wiki (which is just speculation) that consstruction resumed in April of 08. who really knows though. If I was Bill Gates I would finished the hotel just because I could. $$$$$$$$$$$$

now its officially uninhabitable. concrete quality is too poor

some websites say that it's on-hold and may actually finish building the hotel. but I think that'll never happen

I personally think the building is hideous. But for some strange reason I am absolutely fascinated by it. It’s so incredibly eerie. Like a bad car wreck, you don’t want to, but you just have to look at it.

It’s a shame that this enormous amount of money has been spent on this project – only to never make the money back from tourism. Such a waste

The “dome” is an ice rink if I’m not mistaken. Here is a good site documenting other North Korean buildings via satellite: http://www.rioleo.org/pyongyang-northkorea.php

Looks like a space ship there is a plan for that thing and it is not a hotel…

Having studied north Korea for several years now, I must say that the hotel is by far one of the most unusual undertakings in the country by bar. Due to north Korea’s attitude towards the limiting of tourism, it doesn’t make sense for them to spend that much money on a hotel that probably wouldn’t even break even with the amount of people who would stay there. North Korea doesn’t generally spend that much money on the civilian sector of thier society. And I must admit, the vacancy and halted construction coupled with the crane just left on the top of the structure do present an eerie feeling.
