Premier Palace Hotel:<br />

One Hundred Years Ago<br />

Сегодняшний «Премьер Палас Отель»<br />

не был построен целиком как гостиница,<br />

не был он возведен и как единое целое.<br />

Это заметно и сейчас: всякий раз,<br />

поднимаясь по ступеням в коридорах<br />

отеля, ты пересекаешь границу между<br />

двумя зданиями.• Not all of today’s Premier<br />

Palace Hotel was built as a hotel, nor was<br />

it built in one piece. In the end, two palatial<br />

buildings were joined together. You can still<br />

see the gap when you walk the corridors.<br />

Wherever you have to climb some stairs,<br />

you are crossing the border between the<br />

buildings. We talk about the corner block with<br />

the main entrance and the adjoining building,<br />

down the road, at number 5 Shevchenko<br />

Boulevard. Then, in 1909, it was still called<br />

Bibikov Boulevard. The corner building, where<br />

we have today’s main entrance, was always<br />

meant to be a hotel.<br />
