Guests will not only enjoy the high quality service, hospitality and luxury of the hotel, but also the life of the unique cultural and historic place where the establishment is located. This landmark hotel opened its doors over 160 years ago. The hotel has been an intricate part of the country's colourful history. With its elaborate corridors and high ceilings, it has been witness to many historic events, while its guestrooms have hosted many world leaders, entertainers and artists. Since originally being constructed in 1827 the hotel has maintained its tradition of quality and style with an old world charm. A highly dedicated team of service professionals compliment the facilities of the hotel, which has always been regarded as one of Odessa's finest. Offering a total of 56 guestrooms, the hotel welcomes guests in a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out service, hotel safe, currency exchange facilities, cloakroom and lift access. Other facilities include a hairdressing salon, casino, café, bar and restaurant. The conference facilities and WLAN Internet access (fees may apply) may be of use to business guests, whilst room and laundry services are also provided (fees apply to both). Those arriving by car may leave their vehicle in the car park (fees apply). The lobby is quite elegant and is evocative of its Soviet past. The ceilings are high and it is very ornate, but the beauty is a little faded. This does not detract from the overall impressive style nor from the sumptuousness and elegant atmosphere.

Located in the heart of Odessa's city centre, the hotel provides spectacular views of the Black Sea and the famous Potemkin Stairs. The beach is around 2 km away.
