Renovations at Pyongyang's iconic Koryo Hotel have been at least partially completed, photos taken this April show, a development which appears linked to preparations for the anniversary of founding President Kim Il Sung's birthday on April 15.
Refurbishment of the hotel's facade, ground and second floor areas appear completed, photos taken by the Beijing-based Koryo Tours showed this week, though modifications appear limited to these areas only.
