The Sovietsky Hotel is a historic Soviet-styled hotel built in 1952 and located in Moscow on Leningradsky Prospect.[1]

History

Sovietsky was built on Stalin's orders and opened in 1952. The architecture is based on Russian traditionalism and Soviet era styles. Yar, founded in 1826, one of the highest rated restaurants in Russia at the time, is located in Sovietsky Hotel after the hotel opened.[2]

There are paintings of former Soviet leaders and diplomats decorating the walls. The hotel was often used to accommodate foreign diplomats and contains numerous hidden rooms used for spying.

In 2006, there were plans to rebrand the hotel as Ivanka Hotel after Ivanka Trump.[3]
