Hotel Bôrik
Na hrane svahu nad Dunajom postavili v súvislosti so zriadením Československej federácie podľa projektu architektov Š. Svetka a Š. Ďurkoviča (na pôvodnom projekte ešte spolupracoval S. Talaš) budovu hotela Bôrik, určeného pre najvyššie štátne orgány.Objekt leží na podnoži, na ktorej sú zoradené a kŕčkami spojené zreteľne formované bloky s dvoma pásmi okien a zrezanými rohmi. Napriek svojmu lapidárnemu tvarovaniu, ktoré sa v interiéri prejavuje napríklad prevýšenou halou, pôsobí celkovou horizontalitou na exponovanom návrší harmonicky a patrí medzi tie politicky elitné stavby sedemdesiatych rokov, ktoré verejnosť bezkonfliktne prijala.
