If we follow from , the first building on the left hand side will the famous hotel National. For more then a century this hotel welcomes the guest – Tsar’s generals, Soviet workers and Russian oligarchs. 6- storeyed hotel was built in 1903, its official name was Nationalnaya gostinitsa or simply National. Even Russian people pronounce the name with the bit of French accent and very soft ‘l’ and the end. In the early 20 th century among the foreign guests staying here were Anatol France and Hebert Wells. The closeness to the Kremlin made this hotel a fancz place to stay for anyone famous alike. Century ago the ground and the first floors were fancy restaurants and the upper floors were rooms, suits and rented apartments. An elevator was one of the high-tech attractions with shiny buttons and mirrors.

Hi, Anni
How are you?
I like to travel to Russia every few years. The snow is superb!What’s the rate for the National Hotel in Moscow? It looks pricey.
