As the world comes out of the pandemic, the international luxury hotel market is heating up.
After what would have been a difficult period for most, there's now going to be more pressure on hotels to push the boundaries, and try outdo each other.
For the last few years, the Gevora Hotel in Dubai has been the world's tallest hotel.
But, there is competition now with the J Hotel Shanghai Tower also claiming to be the highest hotel.
General Manager of Gevora hotel in Dubai Jairaj Gorsia told Kate Hawkesby he can already see the signs that things are returning to normal again.
“I guess part of the reason is people have been locked down so many months and have extra disposable income to spend, so I guess they want to splurge and have a god time.”
