Entrance to the hotel
The Koryo Hotel (or Pyongyang Koryo Hotel) is the second largest operating hotel in North Korea, the largest being the Yanggakdo Hotel.[1] The Ryugyong Hotel is larger than both, but is not yet operating. The twin-towered Koryo Hotel building is 143 metres (469 ft) tall and contains 43 stories.[2][3][4] Erected in 1985[4][5] under Kim Il Sung, it was intended to "showcase the glory and strength of the DPRK."
The hotel is rated five stars by North Korea.[1] A section of the hotel reportedly caught fire on 11 June 2015 due to undisclosed circumstances, leaving the bridge between the two buildings badly damaged.[6][7]
