Hotel Jested

Hotel Jested stands on a mountain of the same name, which is the highest point of the Jizera Mountain range in the northern part of the Czech Republic. The peak of the mountain (1012m above sea level) is approximately 6 kms from the centre of Liberec. The building's form of a revolving hyperboloid imaginatively combines the operation of a mountain-top hotel and a television transmitter in one. The basic load-bearing element of the structure is a reinforced concrete core, consisting of two concentric tubes of varying height in diameters of 5m and 13m, on which individual floors are suspended on a steel structure, starting with the third storey above ground i.e. the second floor. The tower's architect is Karel Hubácek, who was awarded the prestigious Auguste Perret Prize for his design by the International Union of Architects in 1969.
