Ridiculously ugly North Korea hotel set to open 23 years late
A little behind schedule, guys? North Korea's Ryugyong Hotel is finally set to open, 23 years behind schedule. Work on the monstrosity began in 1987, but was put on hold four years later when money ran out, according to the Washington Post.
The hotel, which resembles a rocket ship and has been dubbed one of the world's ugliest buildings, won't actually open as a hotel, however.
It will most likely serve as an office complex and eventually open for tourists with hotel rooms on the bottom and restaurants at the top (The middle will remain vacant).
Do you think the hotel looks cool or ugly?
