Triumph-Palace (Russian: Триу́мф-Пала́с, transliterated as Triumf Palas) is the name of an apartment building in Moscow. It is sometimes called the Eighth Sister because it is similar in appearance to the Seven Sisters skyscrapers built in Moscow by Joseph Stalin through the 1950s. Construction began in 2001.
The 57-storey building, containing about 1,000 luxury apartments, was topped out on 20 December 2003, making it Europe's tallest skyscraper at 264.1 metres (866 ft) until the inauguration in 2007 of Moscow's 268 metre Naberezhnaya Tower block C.
The Triumph-Palace's address is Chapayevsky Pereulok, 3.
The building is featured in detail in the 2009 Channel 4 series Vertical City (series 1, episode 8).
