Rossiya Hotel, Former hotel in Moscow
The Rossiya Hotel was a large hotel building in Moscow known for its enormous scale and capacity. The structure followed Soviet Modernist design principles with distinctive geometric forms and functional interior spaces.
The hotel opened in 1967 as part of Soviet postwar development efforts. It stood until 2006, when it was demolished to make room for new urban projects.
The hotel appeared in Soviet-era films and literature as a symbol of Moscow's role as a major international destination. It represented the aspirations and scale of Soviet hospitality during that period.
The building no longer exists, so a visit to the site is not possible. Historical photographs and archive materials are available in Moscow museums and online resources to learn more about the structure.
The hotel was among the world's largest and could accommodate over 4,700 guests at full capacity. Its sheer scale made it a recognizable landmark in Moscow during the Soviet period.
