Rising above the High Tatras, its bold, stacked concrete massing and sculptural geometry made it a landmark of Czechoslovak modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1030\" data-start=\"537\"\u003eFor many, it’s known as more than architecture. The building appeared on the cover of \u003cem data-end=\"633\" data-start=\"625\"\u003eEtazhi\u003c\/em\u003e (2018), the breakthrough second album by Belarusian post-punk \/ cold wave band Molchat Doma. This brought the hotel international cult status among fans of cold wave, synth-pop, post-punk and darker electronic subcultures.
