North Korea might be the last place in the world you would want to visit in the current political climate, but officials in the country’s capital have chosen this week to unveil the latest renovations to its landmark hotel.
Towering over the rest of Pyongyang, the "Hotel of Doom", as it has been dubbed by Western media, is a futuristic but failed pyramid-shaped 105-storey hotel – and the world's tallest unoccupied building.
After decades of delays and embarrassing rumours that the building may not even be structurally sound, there are signs that construction work might once again begin on the vanity project.
