Ugh, both of Houston's and Dalla's tallest hotels are ugly, though.
But the inside is beautiful!

At 727 feet, it is the tallest hotel in Michigan, not the USA. The Stratosphere is 1,081 feet high making it the tallest hotel in the USA.

Not to nitpick, but the Stratosphere itself is not a hotel. There is a hotel on the property, but the Strato is an observation/entertainment tower. The hotel simply shares the name.

Well, even though it's short (only 20 stories) this new Embassy downtown I think will be better looking than the Hyatt, the Hilton and the Dallas hotel (the name escapes me).

ES will be better looking than the Hilton, Hyatt, and Dallas' largest, but Dallas overall has better looking hotels.

I like the design of that complex. I don't know if there are too many buildings shaped like that. But anyway, cool pics.
