I stayed here for two nights just months before the collapse of the Soviet Union while I was photographing for an American client. It was the winter of 1991 and Hilton would not have even heard of the Hotel Leningradskaya at that point. I could see echoes of its former elegance but the economy was near collapse and the hotel was dingy and dark with only a few lightbulbs lit in those magnificent chandeliers. The dark wood upper hallways were creepy because of the lack of light. I'm so glad to see the restoration done to the Hilton Moscow. Your video was wonderful!
Oh thank you so much. Really appreciate this comment. It is such a historic hotel and such amazing interiors. The political and architectural significance of the hotel is also incredible. Would love to stay again :)
Very nice!
thank you!!!
