Hotel Kazakhstan, completed in 1977 in Almaty, is a Soviet Modernist skyscraper rising 26 floors in the southern center of the city along Dostyq Avenue. Originally recorded at 129.8 meters tall, it stands as the third-tallest building in Almaty and the eighth-tallest in Kazakhstan. Engineered to withstand earthquakes measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale, the hotel encompasses a total area of 44,887.5 square meters and has become a celebrated landmark and symbol of the city. Adjoining the hotel are the "Friendship" public garden, featuring the Camels panel monument and a fountain dedicated to Shamshi Kaldayakov, with convenient access to the nearby Malaya Almatinka River embankment. Architectural lighting was installed on the building in October 2018, further enhancing its prominence in the city's skyline.
