Grand Hotel Lviv (Lemberg)
Red carpets, deep velvet, brass handles - the Grand Hotel breathes the air of a bygone era, but does it with dignity. It is not dusty - the last reconstruction of the hotel took place in 1991-1992, when the stucco moulding of the façade was renovated and the interiors of the guest rooms were changed. Decorative finishing, stucco decorative moulding and design elements of décor have been added in order to preserve the hotel’s traditional atmosphere. The best materials (granite, marble) were used for the renovation and the rooms were furnished with the best way, with the pieces manufactured locally and abroad.
The Grand Hotel has welcomed more than one hundred thousand guests from different countries, famous diplomats and politicians, public figures and artists and are looking forward to greeting new ones.
The city is regarded as one of the main cultural centres of today's Ukraine and historically also for Ukraine’s neighbour, Poland.
The city has many industries and institutions of higher education such as the Lviv University and the Lviv Polytechnic. It has a philharmonic orchestra and The Lviv Theatre of Opera and Ballet. The historic city centre is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Lviv celebrated its 750th anniversary in 2006 (Lviv was founded in 1256).
The History of «Grand Hotel» dates back to the middle of the XIX century, when the first Lviv public casino was opened in a two-storey Empire-style building. Later, in 1892-93 the building has been rebuilt and acquired the present day appearance.
In December 1893 the hotel was opened for visitors and in a short time it got the reputation of the best and the most comfortable in the city. At that time all social life of the city was happening around this hotel, the main shops and restaurants were situated next to it, important meetings took place, distinguished guests stayed here.
The twentieth century brought a lot of changes related to the external architectural structure and the interior of the hotel, but it did not change the spirit of the refined romanticism.
Happiness is made to be shared, knew the great French dramatist Jean Baptiste Racine (†1699).
