It is believed that the oldest existing hotel in the world was founded in 705 AD in Japan. However, throughout history, other establishments served as hotels as well. Travellers could always rely on monasteries for accommodation. During the Middle Ages, a typical hotel in Europe was an inn, which provided travellers and their horses with lodging and food. B. Moscow has always welcomed travellers, and therefore has always had many hotels. Some of them remain famous, even if they don't exist anymore. Hotel Rossiya was once the biggest hotel in the world, which was acknowledged by the Guinness Book of Records in the early 1970s. It also had a great location - next to Red Square. Sadly, to free up space for its construction, a lot of valuable historic buildings had to be demolished in the oldest part of Moscow. In 2010, the hotel was pulled down, and now Park Zaryadye is in its place. C. Some hotels in Moscow have played an important part in its political life. The National Hotel, located across the street from the Kremlin, not only witnessed all the major events of the 20th century from the moment it was built in 1902, but also was home to the first head of the Soviet state Vladimir Lenin who lived there together with his wife right after the Revolution before they moved to the Kremlin. A lot of other famous people stayed there at different times, Anna Pavlova, Anatol France and Herbert Wells among them. D. The Metropol Hotel, located across the street from the Bolshoi Theatre and in close proximity to Red Square, is well-known for its Art Nouveau style and Mikhail Vrubel's famous mosaics. Designed by the British architect William Walcott, the hotel attracted many artistic people. According to a legend, it was here that the poet Sergey Yesenin declared his love for the American pioneer of modern contemporary dance Isadora Duncan before they got married.
