A 21-room hotel is set to open in St. Petersburg following the restoration of the Dolgorukov Dacha, as announced by the Russian State Expertise press service on Thursday.
“The wooden house with columns and a dome, designed in the classical style, was constructed between 1831 and 1833 by order of Prince Vasily Dolgorukov. In the 1920s, the historic building was converted into communal apartments, resulting in the near-total loss of its original interiors,” the statement said.
Following the restoration, the building will reopen as a hotel with a capacity of 21 rooms.
The four-story building has a total area of over 3,000 square meters.
The Dolgorukov Dacha (later associated with Prince P.G. Oldenburg) was built in the first half of the 19th century by architect S.L. Shustov. After its construction, Dolgorukov gifted the property to his relative, Prince Oldenburg. In 1924, the dacha suffered severe damage from flooding, and in 1928, it was converted into communal apartments for the All-Russian Society of the Blind.
