With Socialist Hotels, FUEL continues their ongoing project of cataloguing the architectural relics of the former Eastern Bloc in photographs. Like past volumes in the series such as Spomenik Monument Database and Holidays in Soviet Sanatoriums, it features contemporary photographs of still-existing structures, making it less a historical chronicle than a document of surviving architecture from a bygone era, with a focus on capturing the textures, geometries, and architectural curiosities of the buildings in question.
