 hotel, 1979_construction, Modern (architecture)
Garganutan hotel built between 1972 and 1978 by a Swedish construction firm as the main hotel for foreign visitors to Leningrad. Like most hotels of the Soviet era, it was intentionally constructed in an isolated location, far from the city, to prevent tourists from mingling with locals. Joined the American Park Inn chain in 2007 as Park Inn by Radisson Pribaltiyskaya Hotel, along with its sister hotel, the Pulkovskaya, south of the city.

  • I was an exchange student in then Leningrad in 1990 in dorms that were only a 5-10 minute walk from the Pribaltiskaya. We ended up going there several nights a week instead of trying to cook actual food or eat at one of the horrible cafeterias. There wasn't much selection of Restaurnats back then. We'd have to PRETEND to be clueless tourists in order to get in - they didn't want to let American Exchange students in. We'd usually get to store a hot dog or turkey sandwhich and a pastry or two from one of the many mini restaurants (I forgot what they called them) on various floors. But every few weeks we were able to con our way into getting dinner at one of the two (identical as far as I could tell) restaurants on either side of the hotel. We would pay in rubles and our rubles were obtained on the black market, so a big dinner there was ridiculously cheap. I think they were so resistant to us eating there because they wanted our dollars, but I don't remember them ever actually saying this. They also had a hard-currency-only bar on the top floor where really only tourists (and us exchange students) would go. We'd only go once a week and sip our $5 beers very slowly as they seemed like highway robbery given that our average meal cost was probably well under $1! I'd love to go back one day to see how incredibly different this place (and all of St. Petersburg and Russia) is now that capitalism has been there for a while.
  • I was there building this Hotel back in 1976-1978 together with a lot of other Swedes. Great times.
