The Most Instagrammed Hotels In The World

This modern marvel of a hotel has gained worldwide Instagram fame for its infinity rooftop pool. Visitors flock here to capture stunning photos of the skyline from the pool, perched 57 stories high. Designed by visionary architect Moshe Safdie, the rooftop floats atop three soaring hotel towers at a height of 200 meters (650 feet). This gravity-defying platform is one of the largest in the world: the 1.2-hectare SkyPark stretches longer than the Eiffel Tower laid down and is large enough to park four and a half A380 Jumbo Jets. It features a ticketed observation deck, lush gardens, top-notch restaurants, and an exclusive infinity-edge swimming pool with a legendary view. The hotel itself boasts 2,560 luxury rooms and suites, available in 18 different types, ensuring a lavish experience for every guest.
