The stylish four star 19th century hotel is in the centre of Odesa. It belongs to the same company as the nearby five-star Bristol Hotel which is roughly twice the size.[1]
Early history
The building housing the Londonskaya Hotel was originally constructed between 1826–1828 as a private residence, designed by architect Francesco Boffo in the early Italian Renaissance style. The hotel was opened in 1846 by Jean-Batiste Karuta, a French confectioner. It was significantly remodeled from 1899–1900 by architect J.M. Dmitrenko, and renovated in 1988.[2] The name of the hotel, like the nearby Bristol Hotel, is thought to have suggested luxury at that time.[3]
