Hotel Grand Moscow, Cultural heritage hotel in Deribasivska Street, Odesa, Ukraine
Hotel Grand Moscow stands on Deribasivska Street in Odesa as an Art Nouveau building featuring detailed facades with organic forms and ornamental elements across its floors. The structure contains 59 rooms arranged throughout multiple levels, along with dining spaces on the lower stories.
Built between 1901 and 1904, the structure was originally designed as headquarters for a tea business before the Dementieva family converted it into a hotel. This change of purpose shaped its role in the city.
The ground floor once held a cinema showing documentaries and a confectionery shop, spaces that connected the building to everyday city life. These former uses remain part of how locals remember and relate to this place.
The building sits on Deribasivska Street, a main thoroughfare in Odesa, making it easy to reach and navigate from various parts of the city. Its location offers convenient access to surrounding neighborhoods and attractions.
A 2014 renovation added solar panels and rainwater collection systems while preserving the historical exterior, blending old architecture with contemporary technology. This approach shows how the building adapts to modern needs without losing its character.
