Rossiya Hotel
The Rossiya Hotel (Russian: Rossiya) was built in Moscow in 1967 at the order of Nikita Khrushchev. At the time of its construction it was the largest hotel in the world; nearly forty years later when it was shut down, it was still the largest in Europe. It had three thousand rooms, a post office, a health club, a nightclub, a movie theater and a barber shop as well as the 2500-seat State Central Concert Hall. The hotel was adjacent to the Red Square, its 21-story tower loomed over the Kremlin walls and the cupolas of Saint Basil's Cathedral. Construction used the existing foundations of the cancelled skyscraper project (the eigth of Seven Sisters Moscow); a whole historic district of Moscow, known as Zaryadye, was demolished in 1940's, long before Rossiya was conceived.Moscow: Vladimir Danilin, Jon Hammond, Igor Butman & guests
