What’s interesting about it?

The 102-meter hotel, with a crown, opened in 1977. It became the top of earthquake-resistant construction and a unique architectural project. During earthquake testing, architects stood inside the building confident in their work. The hotel took the height record in Almaty until 2008. The Crown also has an interesting story. It was not in the plan, but it appeared to close the elevator shaft on the roof.
