The pyramid was created in collaboration with Dutch Company Luuk Broos Events, who provided a team of six workers to help in erecting the glasses and later the champagne from Moet & Chandon was poured into the pyramid.

Interestingly, the new record went on to break Luuk Broos Events' own record of a pyramid with  50,116 glasses, set in Spain’s Madrid in 2017. 

The Guinness Book of World Records listing describes the structure as a solid freestanding pyramid.

“It was a freestanding 3-sided solid Pyramid made complete from Commercially available drinking glasses. Each of the 3 pyramid bases measured 6.1 m (20 ft) with a centre height to the apex of 8.2 m (26 ft 11 in). The final act of completing the attempt was to fill the top layer of glasses with a drink,” it read.

According to Daily Mail, the Guinness World Record attempt was organised by Moet & Chandon as part of its series of Champagne-themed ’Effervescence’ events, which were held in over 20 cities around the world throughout 2021.

More so, the glass tower remained intact in the grand resort until January 1 for the hotel’s annual New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner, which featured a guest performance by singer Robbie Williams.
