Black Sapphire is a large skyscraper located in Dogtown. It is the headquarters of Barghest.
History[]
Originally part of the resort project of Pacifica, Halsey, Ferris & Skiv began construction of the Black Sapphire in 2061[1] and despite its scheduled opening of 2065,[2] the building was never finished.
After the Unification War, Kurt Hansen laid claim to the unfinished hotel and transformed it into his new base of operations.[1]
The club located at the top of the Sapphire lures in elite individuals from all over the world, a place to make all kinds of shady deals under the watchful eye of Kurt.[3]
Database Entry[]
BLACK SAPPHIRE
Halsey, Ferris & Skiv began the construction of this colossus in 2061, intending to erect Night City's most impressive hotel to date. However, along with the rest of Pacifica's redevelopment, the project took a fatal nosedive. Following the end of the Unification War, Kurt Hansen laid claim to the half-finished hotel as his new base of operations. Today, the Black Sapphire serves as the shining star around which all of Dogtown revolves. It stands ninety-nine stories tall with a luxury club, casino and AV landing pads at the top. The ground floor contains warehouses and barracks for BARGHEST soldiers. Everything in between remains a matter of speculation - a prison for VIPs held for ransom, a zoo for endangered animals that Hansen serves to dinner guests at lavish parties, a server room that puts Arasaka Tower's to shame... It's no surprise the rumors that circle the Black Sapphire grow more and more farfetched every year. Yet one fact is undeniable – the Black Sapphire is Hansen's pride and joy. It is an impenetrable fortress, a palace where he can play King of Dogtown and host dignitaries from the world over, but especially the who's who of Night City's political and criminal landscape.[1]
Layout[]
The Black Sapphire are four independent towers connected to the ground and top floors through elevators, and to each tower via bridges. The unfinished hotel stands at a height of 415m (1360 ft) and has 99 floors, with a total of 2792 rooms.[4]
Underground Parking[]
Both the parking and the maintenance tunnels were partially demolished and flooded by the Barghest.[4][5]
Floor 01[]
The ground floor contains the warehouses and barracks of the Barghest, as well as the mess hall.[1][4]
Floor 67[]
Most of the unfinished floor is for maintenance. All towers are connected via scaffolding and improvised bridges.[6]
Floor 99[]
The top of the building is divided between the four towers, all connected by a terrace. This area includes a restaurant and AV landing pads. The northern tower holds a club and a casino.[1][4][6]
Notes[]
- During early development of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, the Black Sapphire was known as Paradise Hotel, a name later reused for another location in Dogtown. The last mural picture below still shows this name at the hotel's entrance.

This club, owned by Hansen and located on top of his sanctuary, lures in elite players not just from Night City but from around the world. It's a secure place to make all sorts of shady deals — secure from all except the watchful eye of Kurt, naturally."
