TO "INTOURIST" HAVE SIGNED THE DEATH SENTENCE.
TO "INTOURIST" HAVE SIGNED THE DEATH SENTENCE.
Last days are lived now by known hotel "Intourist"
In the street Tver, become for several generations of Muscovites
Original "a window to Europe". A century of hotel, which from an easy hand
The press have christened "a rotten tooth in the centre of Moscow", it has appeared rather
Short - in total it has existed only 31 year
(Officially "Intourist" has opened on September, 27th, 1970, in Day
Tourism, but the first lodgers have appeared in hotel in July
70th).
As it became known "MK", one of these days the capital authorities have accepted
The decision on liquidation of known hotel as state
The unitary enterprise. This procedure becomes the closing stage in
Short life of hotel. The liquidating commission is already created. And with 1
January, 2002 activity of all commercial will be stopped
The enterprises of retail trade and paid parking place on
The territory adjoining to a building of hotel "Intourist" from the party
The Tver.
On a place of a 22-storeyed ferro-concrete building will be, on a plan
The city authorities, the 12-storeyed five-stars hotel is constructed
"Hilton" (by the way, "Intourist" has now only three "stars"
From four as one asterisk at hotel have selected after that,
As the parking place adjoining to it has passed to "municipal"
To owners). This building should be entered in the architectural harmoniously
Shape of the central part of capital. Its total area will make 34
Thousand sq. metres. The hotel will be calculated on 400 numbers.
Hotel building, presumably, will begin in the spring 2002
Year.
Last visitors should leave "Intourist" on December, 31st
This year. However on a case of any unforeseen circumstances
For a number of clients possibility to live in hotel is provided
Up to January, 7th. After Christmas "Intourist" definitively
Will become empty and will prepare to a pulling down. Meanwhile, by words
Old residents of hotel, even despite the made decision on liquidation,
"Intourist" is filled till now on 90 %, and 70 % of lodgers -
Foreigners. By the way, foreign citizens always fed to
To "Intourist" special love. In this hotel in 70 have begun
To lodge the first tourists-Englishmen arriving in capital USSR on
Charter flights of the British airlines (on those times business
Unprecedented as to Moscow it was possible to reach only
"Aeroflot"). Here there came rich foreigners of all on one
Night, that already next day, having looked ballet in Big
Theatre and having had supper in "Intourist" Russian delicacies to return
Back home (by the way, such short round managed
To tourists already in 1000 pounds). And one Swedish businessman so
Has grown fond of "Intourist" that stopped in him neither much nor a little 437
Time!
