History
The building in which our mini-hotel is situated was erected in 1836. It is classified as Russian national monument because both the composer Tchaikovsky and the dancer Ulianova – one of the most important ballerinas from the Bolshoy Theatre in Moscow – lived there. In the upper-left picture the windows of the mini-hotel are highlighted in red, while the apartment where Tchaikosvky lived is highlighted in blue. Indeed, Tchaikovsky lived in one of the rooms of our hotel, called suite Tchaikovsky, which is now equipped with an original stove from that period. The picture on the right portrays the funeral of the composer at the exit of the building, where he spent his last days.
