Saudia Arabia Building the Biggest Hotel in the World with 10,000 Rooms for $3.5 Billion Dollars!!!!

Wow, they say, if you build it, they will come! I wonder if that will be true for the biggest hotel in the world. Well Saudia Arabia will find out in 2017 when they open this new hotel they are building called the Abraj Kudai for a cool, $3.5 billion dollars. That's right Billion with a B. hahahaha The hotel is being built near mecca where more than 2 million visit annually. The hotel is slated to have about 10 towers, several of which will have helipads on top and the total square footage for this property will 1.4 million sqr meters. And it's going to be a mixed use property with a luxury hotel, shopping mall, full-size convention center, rooftop helipads, food court and bus station. Bus station? Why not a train station or light rail system? hahahaha Buses are so pedestrian. hahahaha
According to Arabian Business, 10 towers will provide four-star accommodations, while two will be reserved for their most well-heeled clientele offering five-star amenities. I wonder if they will have a Russian Bath there? That would be so hot!!! 
London-based firm Areen Hospitality has been tapped to design the rooms and hotel interior.
