Versailles

The Versailles Hotel is Vladivostok's oldest hotel, located in the heart of the city, just a 5—minute walk from Amur Bay. The train station is a 10-minute walk away, and Vladivostok International Airport is 50 km away. "Versailles" is not just a place to stay, but the living history of the city. The building is an object of cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation of federal significance. It was built in 1907-1909 by the famous architect Ivan Meshkov for the sugar industrialist Lev Radomyshelsky, who conceived the idea of creating a "little Paris" for his daughter. The building is made in the best traditions of late classicism: the ground floor is plastered "like a fur coat", the facade is decorated with Ionic pilasters, and the main entrance is crowned with a triangular pediment. Before the revolution, the Versailles remained the most prestigious and expensive hotel in the city. The walls of the hotel remember many famous guests: Admiral Alexander Kolchak stayed here, Ho Chi Minh lived incognito, and in 1934, members of the Chelyuskin steamship expedition. After a severe fire in 1989, the historical appearance of the building was painstakingly restored from old photographs and sketches, which allows guests to experience the atmosphere of ancient Vladivostok today. The hotel has 48 rooms: 16 single rooms, 25 double rooms, 5 suites and 2 deluxe suites. The bright, classic-style rooms feature air conditioning, a refrigerator and a TV with cable channels. The reception is open 24 hours a day. Guests have access to free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, free breakfasts, luggage storage and an ironing room. There is also a restaurant, an art gallery and a gift shop on site. The Versailles Hotel is ideal for tourists and business travelers looking for privacy, excellent service and comfort.
