Issues with table
[edit]Hi, there are some issues with the table re: the alternating colour and the row relating to The Hotel in Los Vegas is mis-aligned. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 13:01, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Also, please note that the listing starts from "2" and not "1". Why would this be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.96.95.31 (talk) 08:23, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Tallest vs. Highest hotels
[edit]What about hotels that occupy the highest floors of supertalls, but do not occupy more than 90% of those supertalls, such as Ritz Carlton on the top 15 floors of International Commerce Centre, with its lobby at 425 metre? 01:42, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Lots of las vegas hotels are missing from this list. Las Vegas has added Palazzo Aria and Cosmopolitan all over 500ft! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.233.254.172 (talk) 16:47, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
This list needs some major updating since it claims to be a list of the tallest hotels in the world but is including hotels that only take up part of a mixed-use building which therefore are no longer valid for this list. They can claim the title of highest hotel but are not the tallest as part of the height is from some other use (most often office). The example of the Ritz Carlton above is a good one, that is the highest hotel but not the tallest which belongs to Rose Tower: http://skyscrapercenter.com/List/tallest-hotel-100-buildings Aausterm (talk) 18:39, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
I am confused about mixed use. Grand Hyatt Shanghai should be here but it is not all the building. However many hotels ocupy part of buildings and those that occupy the complete building often sublet retail and business space so are effectively partial occupants. It would make more sense to clarify this article by the height of the tallest room (guest or function / bar / restaurant / lounge / ballroom).
Hi - The Abraj Al Bait tower is 600 meters high, used solely as a hotel. Yet it doesn't even appear in the list.
Are you SURE that the Abraj al Bait is used solely as a hotel? I don't think any rooms are available above the 75th floor.Amyzex (talk) 16:12, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
I totally agree that the list need some update! Actually the L'Hotel at Nina Tower (Hong Kong) should be Number 2 on that list. The hotel is also located in the taller tower of the Nina Tower complex. I had my room there on the 76th floor(!) in Mar2013, and actually the Check-in counter is in the taller tower as well, but afaik the whole tower is mixed use. Greets, Mike from Germany

Trump Tower
[edit]Wouldn't the Trump International Hotel in Chicago be the tallest, as it's a hotel that's taller than the other hotels listed. 74.108.224.146 (talk) 19:56, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
- Please read the criteria for inclusion. The building has to be used wholly as a hotel. The Trump building you mention is mixed use. Robynthehode (talk) 20:17, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Atlantis Sanya
[edit]What about the main tower of the Atlantis Hotel in Sanya (Hainan, China). It has 52 floors, 1300 rooms and is 240 metres tall[1]. Doesn't it qualify as a hotel for some reason? 79.223.86.228 (talk) 14:25, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Cullinan South Tower
[edit]Not just a hotel, also used as apartments. Should not be on the list. Hkbusfan (talk) 12:47, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Cutting list down
[edit]I'm boldly cutting list down from 150 metres+ to 200 metres+. Skyscrapers are getting taller; in fact, there's another 25 hotel-only skyscrapers under construction exceeding 150 metres (13 of which exceed 200 metres) and another 30 proposed. There is already about 150 entries to this list above 150 metres, which is difficult to verify; for instance, St. Regis Chicago topped this list for almost a year -- despite not being a hotel-only building, and if factually incorrect content is featured on the top part of this list, imagine what might be present with the other 140-or-so entries. —MelbourneStar☆talk 05:01, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- @MelbourneStar: I made a few edits to this list myself last month: Erasing pics of two Asian skyscrapers that are NOT hotel-only (The Cullinan and State Tower); adding Shimao International Plaza (containing the Conrad Shanghai; several sources said that one contains offices, but the hotel occupies 48 floors, with the rest being occupied by shopping and exclusive clubs; and erased Ritz-Carlton Mexico City (actually part of Chapultepec Uno) and Kota Belgrade from this list, because both of them are mixed-use buildings. I'm not sure of the hotel buildings which are difficult to verify whether they are mixed-use or hotel-only, even in their foreign-language counterpart articles (mainly because sources regarding them, reliable or not, are scarce), like the Wuxi Maoye City Marriott, the Four Seasons Manama, and the Financial Street Westin in Chongqing. Should some hidden text be inserted to warn editors against re-inserting mixed-use buildings? Jim856796 (talk) 15:17, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

St. Regis
[edit]Can you add St Regis Chicago? At 365m, it is the tallest hotel in the world and US as of 2023, and is also the tallest structure designed by a woman. 2002:4539:6737:0:0:0:0:1008 (talk) 00:08, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
