The hotel was designed by Ivan Štraus, one of the most famous architects of former Yugoslavia (Museum of Aviation in Belgrade, Bosnia Electric Power Buiilding in Sarajevo and others). The building was opened in 1983. During the Bosnian War it was damaged and was restored in the modern time following the original project. It looks like it is one of the most famous example of Yugoslavian modernism in Sarajevo. Original content, CC-BY-4.0.
