Koryo Hotel, Hotel building in Chung-guyok, North Korea.
The Koryo Hotel comprises two connected towers with 40 floors housing approximately 500 rooms and multiple dining venues. The structure combines residential and hospitality spaces within a single modern skyscraper complex.
The hotel opened in 1985, replacing an earlier establishment of the same name that stood in a different location. Its construction marked a period of modern tower building in the city.
The entrance displays a jade dragon mouth design that opens into a lobby decorated with mosaics showing North Korean artistic traditions.
The hotel offers amenities like a swimming pool and fitness center, but power interruptions occur regularly throughout the building. Visitors should prepare for potential disruptions in electricity supply.
The basement contains a casino staffed by Chinese employees that attracts international visitors. It remains one of the few places in the city where gambling is offered.
