The world’s biggest, tallest and most extreme hotels
With key cards that could take you on a 75-floor commute to your room, a new wave of high-rise hotels is the future of inner-city travel, and they’re stretching further and further into the sky.
Though the long-awaited 67-story Fontainebleau hotel-casino tower has opened in Las Vegas after 10 years, the 737 feet peak pales in comparison with the 1,168 feet Gevora Hotel, a towering vision of gold on the Dubai skyline.
Higher still are nights spent at Hotel Everest View, which welcomes guests to sleep 13,000 feet above sea level – almost half the height of its view-dominating neighbour, Mount Everest.
In a world of extremes, accommodating to the frozen ice shelves of is no mean feat.
