The Future of Mega-Hotels
As tourism continues to grow globally, hotel developers keep pushing the boundaries of scale and luxury. The upcoming Abraj Kudai in Mecca will set new records when completed, while projects like Dubai’s Meydan One (planned for 5,000+ rooms) suggest the era of massive hotels is far from over. These properties represent more than just places to sleep – they’re full-scale entertainment destinations that offer everything guests could want without ever needing to leave the premises.
When choosing among these hotel giants, consider what matters most to you: While some prioritize budget-friendly efficiency, others focus on extravagant luxury. No matter which you choose, staying at one of the world’s largest hotels guarantees an unforgettable experience of monumental proportions.
