North Korea Built a 105-Story Hotel That Has Never Held a Single Guest. Nobody's Allowed to See...

North Korea built a 105-story pyramid-shaped hotel that was meant to become a symbol of national power. Decades later, the Ryugyong Hotel has reportedly never welcomed a single guest—and the truth about what exists inside remains hidden from the world. In this episode, we investigate Pyongyang’s mysterious “Hotel of Doom”: why construction suddenly stopped, how the unfinished skyscraper became one of history’s most expensive architectural failures, and why access to its interior remains so tightly restricted. From its ambitious beginnings and abandoned concrete shell to its billion-dollar reconstruction attempts, illuminated façade, and uncertain future, this is the story of the world’s tallest unoccupied hotel—and the secrets North Korea still won’t reveal.
