| View from the Koryo Hotel | |
| Seen as the 'flagship hotel' of Pyongyang, it is widely considered the best in the city and it is also the base for all our group tours. Opened in 1985, it is a landmark of the city with twin towers stretching 45 floors high, each topped with a revolving restaurant offering panoramic, 360 degree views. There are over 500 bedrooms, five restaurants, several bars and coffee shops, an indoor swimming pool, and all the usual refinements of a high class hotel. | |

| Ryugyong Hotel |
| The Ryugyong Hotel (sometimes anglicised as Ryu-Gyong Hotel or Yu-Kyung Hotel is a 105-story pyramid-shaped skyscraper under construction in Pyongyang, North Korea. Its name („capital of willows“) is also one of the historical names for Pyongyang. The building is also known as the 105 Building, a reference to its number of floors. Construction began in 1987 but was halted in 1992 as North Korea entered a period of economic crisis after the fall of the Soviet Union. |
| After 1992 the building stood topped out, but without any windows or interior fittings. In 2008 construction resumed. In 2012, the exterior was reported to be complete. The opening of the hotel was scheduled several times but postponed. |
