This impressive building will consist of 6 underground floors and 39 above-ground floors, reaching a total height of 152.4 meters and covering a total floor area of 146,000 square meters.

The USA-based Hyatt Hotels Corporation was founded in 1957.

Currently, the corporation has 1,335 hotels in 76 countries.
