Standing tall with 72 floors, the building and its inner furnishings have been completed since 2007. However it is not open to public bookings yet, and is expected to be open in December 2009.

It is based on data standards outlined by the Emporis Standards Committee (ESC). This listing is verified and updated continuously and includes high-rise buildings topped out, including those still under construction or on hold and whose occupiable height is devoted at least 90% to hotel uses. The ranking is based entirely on the buildings’ structural height. TV towers, masts, and other building types are not included. This is the most recent and factual list of the world’s tallest hotels.
