The Ryugyong Hotel is an unfinished 105-story pyramid-shaped skyscraper in Pyongyang, North Korea.

Its construction began in 1987 but was halted in 1992 due to economic difficulties.

It's a symbol of the ambition of North Korea's leadership and has been dubbed the 'Hotel of Doom'.

Despite its impressive height, the hotel remains unopened to this day.
