Description

The stylish four star 19th century hotel is in the centre of Odessa. It belongs to the same company as the nearby five-star Bristol Hotel which is roughly twice the size.^[1]

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.
