From HotelChatter:
Opening later this year is the 200-room, 5-star Hyatt at Capital Gate, which will not only be Hyatt’s first Abu Dhabi hotel but will also hold a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. Oddly positioned as the “World’s Most Inclined Tower,” it will lean four times as far as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It won’t simply inch further than Pisa, but will blow it out of the water by leaning a heavy 18 degrees to Pisa’s measly 4.
Because of the organic shape of the structure, RMJM Architects have conceived of making the panes of glass as diamond-shaped panels, each one different and placed just so to keep the illusion of a leaning structure. Don’t worry about the wind and earthquakes with this one, however, as it’s got all the modern precautions that the Leaning Tower of Pisa lacks.
