The Otrar Hotel, completed in 1981 in Almaty, exemplifies Soviet Modernist architecture of the late Cold War era. Built during the height of Soviet urban development in Kazakhstan's largest city, the hotel reflects the functional design principles and geometric forms characteristic of Modernism as practiced across the USSR in that period.
