KGB

Hotel Viru, Tallin
Built in 1972 and the first high rise building in Estonia. From this angle, those two towers look awfully close together giving the whole thing a look of a double headboard and a bed.
In the Soviet era "any hotel that was appropriate for foreign visitors had to be appropriate to the KGB"
So this is also now a home to a KGB Museum.
