Lobby
The lobby is quite elegant and is evocative of its Soviet past. The ceilings are high and it is very ornate, but the beauty is a little faded. This does not detract from the overall impressive style nor from the sumptuousness and elegant atmosphere.
Exterior
The hotel is part of a classical terrace of buildings along the promenade. The imposing facade dominates with arched windows giving an impressive look to this historically important property.
Rooms
The rooms are a good size, have high ceilings and have quite a faded elegance about them. The style is classical Soviet, with quite sumptuous bedding and comfortable furniture. The decor is quite plain, and the rooms would benefit from some cosmetic refurbishment.
Restaurant
The restaurant is located on the ground floor close to the bar and reception area. It boasts a lavishly ornamented ceiling, four big crystal chandeliers, wall crystal lamps, decorative columns which discretely hide small dining booths and a stage.
