The Hyatt Capital Gate hotel, which offers 189 five-star rooms, will finally open its doors December 21 in Abu Dhabi.

The hotel leans a record-breaking 18 degrees — more than four times that of Italy’s famed Leaning Tower of Pisa, which is angled at just under four degrees.

The striking style of the building earned it a place among Guinness World Records last year, despite a two-year delay in the handover.

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts began construction of their new luxury resort at Walt Disney World last week during a special groundbreaking ceremony.

The 444-room resort, being built in the enclave of Golden Oak at Walt Disney World Resort, is expected to open in 2014.

Amenities will include a rooftop restaurant with views of the Magic Kingdom, a 14,000-square-foot spa, three pools and a lazy river, and meeting-and-event space.

Four Seasons has announced a new in-room menu designed for travelers who are tight for time. The option guarantees a delivery to the room within 15 min of ordering.

The fast food service will be rolled out across all Four Seasons hotels by the end of the year, with each hotel offering a different twist on rapid cooking.

Examples of the menus include wonton noodle soup with Chinese greens from the Four Seasons Hong Kong.
