The Hotel Haegumgang is a floating hotel docked at Mount Kumgang in North Korea.
The hotel was originally constructed as the John Brewer Floating Hotel in 1986-1987 for positioning in the John Brewer Reef, in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Townsville, Queensland, Australia.[1] It operated as the Four Seasons Barrier Reef Resort for a year until it was relocated to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in 1989, operating as the Saigon Floating Hotel.[2][3][4]
