Ještěd Tower, Television tower and hotel in Liberec, Czech Republic
The Ještěd Tower combines a television transmitter, observation deck, hotel, and restaurant in a single hyperboloid structure reaching 94 meters in height.
The first mountain lodge was built in 1844, while the current futuristic building designed by Karel Hubáček replaced a hotel that burned down in 1963.
The tower received the Auguste Perret Prize for its architectural excellence and represents a national cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
Visitors can access the tower via cable car from Horní Hanychov or drive directly to the summit at 1012 meters above sea level.
The building's hyperboloid shape continues the natural mountain silhouette while protecting against strong winds at the summit of Ještěd mountain.
