This building is possibly Beijing's ugliest one.
And yes, it's a government building - the China Travel Service (CTS) Hotel.
The gray hotel is topped with gold-coloured tiles. But what has to be the most bizarre thing are these turrets on the corners. I wonder what having a corner room is like with all those angles on the windows.
The building is located near a major four-leaf clover freeway so I pass by it quite often. And it's a piece of architecture I wish I didn't have to see! While it does stand out, it sticks out for all the wrong reasons.
Hopefully CTS will want to update its look and get with the times. Soon.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. may be the architecs are trying to emulate some oriental flare in the building . the roof turret and the flying edge reminescent of south asia architecture. it is a hybrid of east and west . we can compare it with the oriental building at the tivoli garden in copenhagen.
