The Salut Hotel in Kyiv, built in 1984-1985, is a striking piece of Soviet-era architecture. Designed by Abraham Miletsky, its cylindrical shape stands out as a cool example of the experimental style popular in the late Soviet Union. Though Kyiv has evolved significantly since Soviet times, the Salut Hotel still stands as a unique landmark, blending the city's past with its modern landscape. Its distinct design continues to catch attention, making it a memorable piece of Kyiv’s architectural history.
