The Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi
When the leaning tower of Abu Dhabi - aka Capital Gate aka Hyatt Abu Dhabi - is completed, it will be, according to the blurb - the most inclined building in the world. Yes, they've applied officially to the Guinness Book of Records. To be strict about the specifics - it will have an 18 degree westward incline. Nice.
That's 14 degrees more than the leaning tower of Pisa. But there again, Pisa wasn't built to lean, the foundations wasnt strong enough.
This tower will be home to Abu Dhabi’s first Hyatt hotel, which will be skillfully bling and represent all things Abu Dhabi, from luxury to the future. There's another Hyatt that's being built in Abu Dhabi, such do they reckon that Abu Dhabi needs them.
There will be a huge internal atrium, including a tea lounge and a swimming pool suspended 263 feet above the ground, has been constructed on the 17th and 18th floors, the halfway point of the 35-story, 525-foot tall tower - which is where building is currently at. Bring on the bend.

I've been driving past the construction site for the past 9 months and a few months back I saw the they are building the thing ...wrong...you know...like not straight. Then I saw the design. There was a good week I thought they made a mistake. Lol!
