FINALIST#1: The Secret Rooms of Hotel Jama

Since it was built in 1971, Hotel Jama has accommodated millions of visitors to the world-famous Postojna Cave. But it used to be more than just an ordinary hotel. Up until 1991, the hotel had lived a double life, which was not revealed until its renovation in 2016. The secret rooms inside the hotel bear witness to the activities of the secret services of the former system and to the bygone times. Hidden deep inside the hotel building is a communications centre of a very special kind, which raises more questions than it answers.

In the Secret Rooms of Hotel Jama, you will listen to the original eavesdropping recordings of the former State Security Service. You will get to listen to some recordings that can otherwise only be accessed in the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia with a special permission.

You will visit the rooms that were kept secret and untouched for twenty-eight years. The rooms are preserved in their original condition, the way they were at the time when they were in use, including the equipment and the furniture. The same goes for the dust, which is the same age.
