Now the hotel, like many other buildings in Pripyat, is in disrepair. He came to check the progress of the liquidation work.Īfter the end of the active phase of the liquidation, the building was abandoned. Rumor has it that in 1986 Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev stayed at the hotel. The sand was dug from the shores of the Yanovsky Zaton lake. Helicopters that dumped sand, lead and boric acid into the burning reactor were directed by spotters located on the roof of the hotel. From the hotel roof, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was clearly visible. Officials could sleep here and there was a headquarter where the helicopters actions were coordinated. In the process of eliminating the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster, the hotel building was used by the liquidators. According to the original plans, on the top floor of the hotel there should have been a cafe with a summer terrace and an observation platform. The hotel is located on Lenin Square and is part of a complex of buildings, which includes the Palace of Culture Energetik, a department store and a restaurant. From the roof, between the Готе́ль Полісся sign, you have a beautiful view over the city and surroundings. It was built in mid-1970s to house delegations and guests visiting Pripyat and the Chernobyl Power Plant.

The Polissya hotel is situated in the city center of the abandoned city of Pripyat.
