List of tallest hotels in the world
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The central tower of the Renaissance Center in Detroit, Michigan, USA is the tallest all-hotel tower in the Western Hemisphere.
This is a list of the 100 tallest buildings in the world whose occupied height is devoted at least 90% to hotel use.[1]
The seven tallest hotels in the world are located in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf. The tallest hotel is the Abraj Al Bait Hotel Tower, at 601 m (1,972 ft), in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Emirates Twin Towers, at 376 m (1,234 ft), are the second tallest hotel towers in the world, surpassing the 333 m (1,093 ft) Rose Rayhaan by Rotana and the iconic 321 m (1,053 ft) Burj Al Arab. All three of the latter hotels are located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the city that is currently home to the world's five tallest hotels after the Abraj Al Bait.
