When talking of the world’s largest buildings, you cannot miss the 1,169ft (356m) tall Gevora Hotel in Dubai
The skyscraper consists of 75 floors, 528 guestrooms and three pools and is the current tallest all-hotel building in the world
It is the eighth-tallest building in Dubai, the ninth tallest in the UAE, and is among the 50 tallest buildings in the world
Completed in February 2018 after 12 years of construction, the hotel not only impresses with its height but also with its unique design and luxurious features
It features a glass façade with pyramidal crown at the top
The builders have employed a caisson foundation system during construction to help stabilize the structure
From one-bedroom deluxe accommodations and two-bedroom suites to the five-bedroom Penthouse on the 72nd floor, there are different options to choose from as per the desire
The hotel currently has three restaurants with expansive views offering culinary excellence to the guests
The rooftop swimming pool, overlooking the Dubai skyline is a great attraction at the hotel
