Excursion programs to architectural attractions of Almaty -
The Hotel "Kazakhstan" is one of the most recognizable symbols of Almaty, a real architectural dominant of the city and the pride of an entire era. Built in 1977, it became a real symbol of the capital of Soviet Kazakhstan and to this day remains a place where history, culture and modernity meet. Its height is 102 meters, the building has 26 floors. The main feature of the architecture is the oval shape of the building, due to which the hotel looks light and directed upward. The top of the building is crowned with an elegant gilded "crown", which gives the silhouette completeness and makes it a real dominant against the background of the Zailiyskiy Alatau mountains. Particular attention was paid to safety during the construction of the hotel: the structure is capable of withstanding earthquakes up to 9 points on the Richter scale. This was extremely important for Almaty, located in a seismically active zone.
The Kazakhstan Hotel is conveniently located in the central part of the city. Next to the hotel is a monument to Abai Kunanbayev, which stands on the square in front of the Palace of the Republic. Also in the immediate vicinity of the hotel is the Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan, next to which is a monument to A.S. Pushkin and the famous fountain "Eastern Calendar" (Signs of the Zodiac).
