Original Sokos Hotel Viru

"In the heart of Tallinn, this imposing 1972 Soviet high-rise, standing tall beside Tammsaare Park, offers an intriguing blend of functionality and history. A true behemoth, it houses conference facilities, restaurants, and even a shopping center. Yet, the 23rd floor reveals a hidden gem, the KGB Museum, once a covert hub for espionage, particularly targeting foreign guests, offering a chilling glimpse into the depths of communism's surveillance state. Remarkably, the snazzy rooms and suites now feature one-way mirrors that can likely be trusted, adorned with quirky and playful decor that weaves the success stories of celebrated Estonians into their unique designs, creating a captivating tapestry of past and present."
