Pondering - Largest Hotel

So since I work at a hotel I actually do think about hotel things from time to time and today I was wondering where the world's largest hotel was and just how big it was. The Hampton Inn in Greensburg has 113 rooms and its the largest in Greensburg, but it obviously pales in comparions to the worlds biggest.




I learned that the world's biggest hotel is the First World Hotel located in Pahang, Malaysia. It is a building consisting of two towers, twenty eight stories tall and featuring 6,118 rooms.



description solen from wikipedia:

First World Hotel is a standard 3-star hotel at most of its rooms. Below the hotel is a 500,000 square feet (46,000 m2) plaza called First World Plaza, housing shopping malls, arcades, food outlets, Starworld casino, The Pavilion and the Genting indoor theme park.

It has a stage for weekly performances (such as magic and music shows)

at the area called Time Square, surrounded by a replica of the Statue

of Liberty and an Oscar statue. Other facilities including Watersplash Pool (an indoor water theme park for children), Genting Sky Venture (Asia's first free fall simulator) and a cineplex.

First World Hotel main entrance forms the lush and grand tropical rainforest and a spacious Spanish courtyard at its lobby."
