Hotel Londonskaya, Odessa
Author: Anothertravelguide.com
It is the very first and the most legendary hotel in Odessa, initially built as a private residence (1826-1828), but later on (1846) converted into a hotel. Conveniently located on Primorskij Boulevard, it is just a short way from the famous Potjomkin Steps. The luxurious early Italian Renaissance style building houses its very own museum. It features portraits of the most renowned guests of the hotel - Theodore Dreiser, Isidor Dunkan, Maya Plisecka, Georges Simenon, Marina Vladi, and many more. Part of the hotel has been recently restored, and it is worth a visit, even if you do not intend to stay there. The only flaw to mention is a lack of conceptual strictness that weighs down the authenticity and consistency of style of this grande dame among the city hotels. For example, the otherwise luxurious foyer strikes with out-of-place elevator door made of laminated wood, and rooms feature lots of thoughtless and cheep details, which clash with splendid ceiling décor and an overall air of its prominent past.
