Hotel Georges

Ukraine, Lviv
The oldest hotel in Ukraine, whose history dates back to 1793. It is located in the center of Lviv and is an architectural monument of local importance. Initially, it was an inn with the non-trivial name "Under the Three Hooks". 20 years later, the then-modern De Russie Hotel was built on this site, consisting of three floors. In 1816, the hotel became the property of the merchant Georg (Georges) Hoffmann, which is why it got its current name after some time. At the end of the 19th century, the hotel was completely dismantled, and a more modern, neo-Renaissance style was erected in its place. The Austrian architects Hermann Gelmer and Ferdinand Felner worked on the project. The grand opening of the hotel took place at the very beginning of 1901. Elements of the early 20th century have been preserved in the interior: marble stairs, fireplaces and stucco moldings.

I love this building in Lviv very much. And despite the fact that its architecture was often criticized and often remodeled, now it looks quite fashionable and is also a landmark of Lviv - 26.02. In 1980, by decision of the City Council No. 130, the house was recognized as an architectural monument of local importance (security number 185). Why "George"? At one time the owner of the hotel was the merchant Georg (Georges) Hoffmann (1778-1839). And so it happened - the Georges Hotel (although initially the names of the hotels at this place were different: "Under the Three Hooks", and since 1811 "De Russie").
