Bristol Hotel, Odesa

The Bristol Hotel, located in the heart of Odesa, Ukraine, is a historic four-star hotel built between 1898 and 1899. Designed in a stunning mix of Renaissance Revival and Baroque Revival styles, it features Neoclassical statues and elegant white marble columns. With 113 rooms, it stands as a prominent landmark opposite the Odesa Philharmonic Theater. Originally named to evoke luxury, the hotel faced challenges during the Soviet era, including a closure and a name change to Hotel Krasnaya. After a significant restoration, it reopened in 2010. The hotel has a rich history and has recently been affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
