Some interesting tidbits from wikipedia [1]:

Construction began in 1987 but was halted in 1992 [...] resumed in 2008 [to be completed this year].

The unfinished building was not surpassed in height by any new hotel until the 2009 completion of the spire atop the Rose Tower in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
