Even if I were in NK to do business I wouldn't stay there since the government will probably have every room bugged to hell. I'm not going to stay somewhere or do business somewhere I know an internationally known financial criminal controls/runs... I don't want the government stealing my business secrets...
What I want to know is who's rushing to rent a room in North Korea (?). I mean what business do they expect to generate, and from where? They won't get it from their own people, let alone the rest of world, who they go out of their way to isolate. I never understood to logic of this.
They are so delusional there, perhaps they want to complete it in time for the visit of President Obama and his entourage.

....and you think the current hotels in Pyongyang are not bugged to hell!?

Great thoughts...But as an American you can't do business in N. Korea. So no need to worry.

Hey, the country is yet again on the brink of famine (the last one killed upwards of 1 million Koreans in the 1990s), so what a great time to waste money on a white elephant that will never see guests!
North Korea spent 2% of its entire GDP to build that monstrosity and didn't even get it finished... they should just demolish the building and spend the money on feeding their people. The world can survive without one extra skyscraper.
Wow.....i'm suprised. Then again, hopefully when Kim dies, things like these will start happening more frequently.
How would they do anything like this without a dictator to force it in a country where people are starving and the economy is a basket case? There are no private developers who can afford to do it and no market to attract foreign developers (hordes of tourists seeking to go to Pyongyang and watch people starve?).
