The Rossiya Hotel was a large hotel built adjacent to Red Square in Moscow in 1967. The Zaryadye Administrative Building foundation was used for construction of this hotel. It was registered in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest hotel in the world. It remained the largest hotel in Europe up until January 1, 2006, its date of closure.
The 21 story Rossiya had 3,200 rooms, 245 half suites, a post office, a health club, a nightclub, a movie theater and a barber shop as well as the 2500-seat State Central Concert Hall. The building was capable of sheltering over 4,000 guests.
Demolition of the building began in March 2006 for an entertainment complex loosely based on the design of the old Zaryadye district, being overseen by British architect Sir Norman Foster and includes plans for a new, two thousand room hotel with apartments and a parking garage.
