Just recently i spent some time in Moscow.I stayed at the Hotel Ukraine.Staying there is an attraction in itself.The pics were taken between
25th dec 2006 and 29th dec 2006.During that time the observation deck was closed for '' technical reasons ''.It's not everyday one gets to stay in one of
worlds great historical skyscrapers.

Awesome thread.

Hey, I think everything looks good - the building, the room, the food!

I'd love to stay in that hotel some time.

Wooden floors in a hotel room is so vintage...I love it.
But, I must admit that those twins bed look less than inviting.

Great thread idea however.

Ive stayed at the Ukrainia Hotel. They questioned my wife when we came into the hotel. They thought she was a prostitute.
I was pissed off and happy all at the same time
