Imperial Pacific International is required to finish the building next month but it wants an extension until December.
It said it had been delayed by a lack of manpower and other problems.
The Hong Kong-based company's new contractor, Pacific Rim Contractors, is currently focusing on completing three areas of the project - the hotel, its tower and the exterior of the hotel lobby.
